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 9:12
9:12 And he said to me, “Get up, go down at once from here because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have sinned! They have quickly turned from the way I commanded them and have made for themselves a cast metal image.” 1
Deuteronomy 15:9
15:9 Be careful lest you entertain the wicked thought that the seventh year, the year of cancellation of debts, has almost arrived, and your attitude 2 be wrong toward your impoverished fellow Israelite 3 and you do not lend 4 him anything; he will cry out to the Lord against you and you will be regarded as having sinned. 5
1 tc Heb “a casting.” The MT reads מַסֵּכָה (massekhah, “a cast thing”) but some mss and Smr add עֵגֶל (’egel, “calf”), “a molten calf” or the like (Exod 32:8). Perhaps Moses here omits reference to the calf out of contempt for it.
2 tn Heb “your eye.”
3 tn Heb “your needy brother.”
4 tn Heb “give” (likewise in v. 10).
5 tn Heb “it will be a sin to you.”
