2 tn Or perhaps “consumption” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV). The term is from a verbal root that indicates a weakening of one’s physical strength (cf. NAB “wasting”; NIV, NLT “wasting disease”). |

| (0.46074659615385) | (Deu 30:20) |
1 tn The words “I also call on you” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. one%27s&tab=notes" ver="">19-20 are one long sentence, which the translation divides into two. |
| (0.46074659615385) | (Deu 32:10) |
