tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” See note at 1:26.

tn Heb “turned and went up.”

sn Bashan. This plateau country, famous for its oaks (Isa 2:13) and cattle (Deut 32:14; Amos 4:1), was north of Gilead along the Yarmuk River.

tn Heb “people.”

sn Edrei is probably modern Deràa, 60 mi (95 km) south of Damascus (see Num 21:33; Josh 12:4; 13:12, 31; also mentioned in Deut 1:4).

tn The words “was heard” are supplied in the translation to avoid the impression that the voice was seen.

tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

tn Or “mind and being.” See Deut 6:5.

tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

10 tn Heb “fathers.”

11 tn Heb “to your son.”

12 tn Heb “by a strong hand.” The image is that of a warrior who, with weapon in hand, overcomes his enemies. The Lord is commonly depicted as a divine warrior in the Book of Deuteronomy (cf. 5:15; 7:8; 9:26; 26:8).

13 tn Heb “the anger and the wrath.” Although many English versions translate as two terms, this construction is a hendiadys which serves to intensify the emotion (cf. NAB, TEV “fierce anger”).

14 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

15 tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

16 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

17 tc Some scholars, on the basis of v. 11, emend the MT reading שִׁכְנוֹ (shikhno, “his residence”) to the infinitive construct לְשָׁכֵן (lÿshakhen, “to make [his name] to dwell”), perhaps with the 3rd person masculine singular sf לְשַׁכְּנוֹ (lÿshakÿno, “to cause it to dwell”). Though the presupposed nounשֵׁכֶן (shekhen) is nowhere else attested, the parallel here with שַׁמָּה (shammah, “there”) favors retaining the MT as it stands.

18 sn Purge out the blood of the innocent. Because of the corporate nature of Israel’s community life, the whole community shared in the guilt of unavenged murder unless and until vengeance occurred. Only this would restore spiritual and moral equilibrium (Num 35:33).

19 tn Heb “found,” also in vv. 27, 28.

20 tn Heb “lay with” here refers to a forced sexual relationship, as the accompanying verb “seized” (חָזַק, khazaq) makes clear.

21 tn Heb “the man who lay with her, only him.”

22 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man who attacked the woman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

23 tn Heb “the Lord your God changed.” The phrase “the Lord your God” has not been included in the translation here for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy. Moreover, use of the pronoun “he” could create confusion regarding the referent (the Lord or Balaam).

24 tn The verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”) here and commonly elsewhere in the Book of Deuteronomy speaks of God’s elective grace toward Israel. See note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37.

25 tn Heb “grapes according to your appetite, your fullness.”

26 tn Heb “in your container”; NAB, NIV “your basket.”

27 tn Heb “men.”

28 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the judges) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

29 tn Heb “declare to be just”; KJV, NASB “justify the righteous”; NAB, NIV “acquitting the innocent.”

30 tn Heb “declare to be evil”; NIV “condemning the guilty (+ party NAB).”

31 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the judge) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

32 tn Heb “Forty blows he may strike him”; however, since the judge is to witness the punishment (v. 2) it is unlikely the judge himself administered it.

33 tn Heb “your brothers” but not limited only to an actual sibling; cf. NAB) “your kinsman”; NRSV, NLT “your neighbor.”

34 tn Heb “from all the words which I am commanding.”

35 tn Heb “in order to serve.”

36 tn Heb “your olives will drop off” (נָשַׁל, nashal), referring to the olives dropping off before they ripen.

37 tn This is interpreted by some English versions as a reference to generations not yet born (cf. TEV, CEV, NLT).

38 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “certainly.”

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

40 tn Heb “anger.”

41 tn Heb “lest.”

42 tn Heb “Our hand is high.” Cf. NAB “Our own hand won the victory.”

43 tc Smr and some LXX mss read “they buried him,” that is, the Israelites. The MT reads “he buried him,” meaning in the context that “the Lord buried him.” This understanding, combined with the statement at the end of the verse that Moses’ burial place is unknown, gave rise to traditions during the intertestamental period that are reflected in the NT in Jude 9 and in OT pseudepigraphic works like the Assumption of Moses.
