Deuteronomy 22:6

¹ tn Heb “and the mother sitting upon the chicks or the eggs.”

² tn Heb “sons,” used here in a generic sense for offspring.

³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

⁴ sn The place where he chooses to locate his name. This is a circumlocution for the central sanctuary, first the tabernacle and later the Jerusalem temple. See Deut 12:1-14 and especially the note on the word “you” in v. 14.
