¹ sn Ar. See note on this word in Deut 2:9.

² sn A blessing and a curse. Every extant treaty text of the late Bronze Age attests to a section known as the “blessings and curses,” the former for covenant loyalty and the latter for covenant breach. Blessings were promised rewards for obedience; curses were threatened judgments for disobedience. In the Book of Deuteronomy these are fully developed in 27:1–28:68. Here Moses adumbrates the whole by way of anticipation.

³ tn Heb “if listening you listen to the voice of.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “carefully.” The idiom “listen to the voice” means “obey.”

⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 15:4.

⁵ tn Heb “by being careful to do.”

⁶ tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB); NAB “which I enjoin you today.”

⁷ tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” Here “listen” (NAB “hearken”) means “obey” (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB). The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

⁸ tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I now enjoin on you.”
