Deuteronomy 34:4

1 tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”
2 tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.
3 tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.
4 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).
5 tn Heb “their seed after them.”
6 tn Heb “seed” (so KJV, ASV).
7 tn The Hebrew text includes “with your eyes,” but this is redundant in English and is left untranslated.
