¹tn Heb “may he bless you.”

²tn Heb “so you will perish.”

³tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

⁴tn The Hebrew text includes “when I prostrated myself.” Since this is redundant, it has been left untranslated.

⁵tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

⁶tn Heb “in your gates.”

⁷tc The LXX adds ἐν σοί (en soi, “among you”) to make clear that the antecedent is the people and not the animals. That is, the people, whether ritually purified or not, may eat such defective animals.

⁸tn Heb “innocent blood must not be shed.” The Hebrew phrase דָּם נָקִי (dam naqiy) means the blood of a person to whom no culpability or responsibility adheres because what he did was without malice aforethought (HALOT 224 s.v דָּם 4.b).

⁹tn Heb “and blood will be upon you” (cf. KJV, ASV); NRSV “thereby bringing bloodguilt upon you.”

¹⁰tn Heb “anger.”

¹¹tn Heb “lest.”

¹²tn Heb “Our hand is high.” Cf. NAB “Our own hand won the victory.”
