Deuteronomy 1:41

Unsuccessful Conquest of Canaan

1:41 Then you responded to me and admitted, “We have sinned against the Lord. We will now go up and fight as the Lord our God has told us to do.” So you each put on your battle gear and prepared to go up to the hill country.

Deuteronomy 5:24

5:24 You said, “The Lord our God has shown us his great glory 1  and we have heard him speak from the middle of the fire. It is now clear to us 2  that God can speak to human beings and they can keep on living.

Deuteronomy 18:16

18:16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the Lord your God: “Please do not make us hear the voice of the Lord our 3  God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.”

Deuteronomy 29:18

29:18 Beware that the heart of no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you turns away from the Lord our God today to pursue and serve the gods of those nations; beware that there is among you no root producing poisonous and bitter fruit. 4 

Deuteronomy 31:17

31:17 At that time 5  my anger will erupt against them 6  and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome 7  them 8  so that they 9  will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters 10  overcome us 11  because our 12  God is not among us 13 ?’

1 tn Heb “his glory and his greatness.”

2 tn Heb “this day we have seen.”

3 tn The Hebrew text uses the collective singular in this verse: “my God…lest I die.”

4 tn Heb “yielding fruit poisonous and wormwood.” The Hebrew noun לַעֲנָה (la’anah) literally means “wormwood” (so KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB), but is used figuratively for anything extremely bitter, thus here “fruit poisonous and bitter.”

5 tn Heb “on that day.” This same expression also appears later in the verse and in v. 18.

6 tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

7 tn Heb “find,” “encounter.”

8 tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

9 tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

10 tn Heb “evils.”

11 tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.

12 tn Heb “my.”

13 tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.
