Deuteronomy 1:25

1:25 Then they took 1  some of the produce of the land and carried it back down to us. They also brought a report to us, saying, “The land that the Lord our God is about to give us is good.”

Deuteronomy 1:36

1:36 The exception is Caleb son of Jephunneh; 2  he will see it and I will give him and his descendants the territory on which he has walked, because he has wholeheartedly followed me.” 3 

Deuteronomy 33:16

33:16 with the harvest of the earth and its fullness

and the pleasure of him who resided in the burning bush. 4 

May blessing rest on Joseph’s head,

and on the top of the head of the one set apart 5  from his brothers.

1 tn The Hebrew text includes “in their hand,” which is unnecessary and somewhat redundant in English style.

2 sn Caleb had, with Joshua, brought back to Israel a minority report from Canaan urging a conquest of the land, for he was confident of the Lord’s power (Num 13:6, 8, 16, 30; 14:30, 38).

3 tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“me”) has been employed in the translation, since it sounds strange to an English reader for the Lord to speak about himself in third person.

4 tn The expression “him who resided in the bush” is frequently understood as a reference to the appearance of the Lord to Moses at Sinai from a burning bush (so NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT; cf. Exod 2:2-6; 3:2, 4). To make this reference clear the word “burning” is supplied in the translation.

5 sn This apparently refers to Joseph’s special status among his brothers as a result of his being chosen by God to save the family from the famine and to lead Egypt.
