Deuteronomy 29:10

29:10 You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God – the heads of your tribes, ¹  your elders, your officials, every Israelite man,

Deuteronomy 30:2

30:2 Then if you and your descendants ²  turn to the Lord your God and obey him with your whole mind and being ³  just as ⁴  I am commanding you today,

¹ tc Heb “your heads, your tribes.” The Syriac presupposes either “heads of your tribes” or “your heads, your judges,” etc. (reading שֹׁפְטֵכֶם [shofÿtekhem] for שִׁבְטֵיכֶם [shivtekhem]). Its comparative difficulty favors the originality of the MT reading. Cf. KJV “your captains of your tribes”; NRSV “the leaders of your tribes”; NLT “your tribal leaders.”

² tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); KJV, ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “children.”

³ tn Or “heart and soul” (also in vv. 6, 10).

⁴ tn Heb “according to all.”
