Deuteronomy 28:56

¹ tn Heb “your brother, the son of your mother.” In a polygamous society it was not rare to have half brothers and sisters by way of a common father and different mothers.

² tn In the Hebrew text these words are in the form of a brief quotation: “entice you secretly saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods.’”

³ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 17).

⁴ tn Heb “which you have not known, you or your fathers.” (cf. KJV, ASV; on “fathers” cf. v. 18).

⁵ tc The LXX adds σφόδρα (sfodra, “very”) to bring the description into line with v. 54.

⁶ tn Heb “delicateness and tenderness.”
