¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid repetition.

² tn Or “has given you the land” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

³ tn Heb “do not tremble and do not be afraid.” Two synonymous commands are combined for emphasis.

⁴ tn The Hebrew participle indicates imminent future action here, though some English versions treat it as a predictive future (“will go ahead of you,” NCV; cf. also TEV, CEV).

⁵ tn Heb “according to all which he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.”
