1 tn Heb “in” or “on.” Here there is a contrast between the ordinary time of eleven days (v. 2) and the actual time of forty years, so “not until” brings out that vast disparity.
2 sn The eleventh month is Shebat in the Hebrew calendar, January/February in the modern (Gregorian) calendar.
3 sn The fortieth year would be 1406 b.c. according to the “early” date of the exodus. See E. H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, 66-75.
4 tn Heb “according to all which.”
5 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid repetition.
6 tn Or “has given you the land” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).
7 tn Heb “Reed Sea.” See note on the term “Red Sea” in Deut 1:40.
8 sn Horites. Most likely these are the same as the well-known people of ancient Near Eastern texts described as Hurrians. They were geographically widespread and probably non-Semitic. Genesis speaks of them as the indigenous peoples of Edom that Esau expelled (Gen 36:8-19, 31-43) and also as among those who confronted the kings of the east (Gen 14:6).
9 tn Most modern English versions, beginning with the ASV (1901), regard vv. 10-12 as parenthetical to the narrative.
10 tn Heb “in the midst of” (so ASV).
11 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.
12 tn Heb “commanded.”
13 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
14 tn Heb “may prolong your days”; NAB “may have long life”; TEV “will continue to live.”
15 tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style to avoid redundancy.
16 sn Acacia wood (Heb “shittim wood”). This is wood from the acacia, the most common timber tree of the Sinai region. Most likely it is the species Acacia raddiana because this has the largest trunk. See F. N. Hepper, Illustrated Encyclopedia of Bible Plants, 63.
17 tn Heb “for my soul desires to eat meat.”
18 tn Heb “according to all the desire of your soul you may eat meat.”
19 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.
20 tn Heb “in order to establish you today to him for a people and he will be to you for God.” Verses 10-13 are one long sentence in Hebrew. The translation divides this into two sentences for stylistic reasons.
21 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 25).
22 sn See Num 27:18.
