¹ sn Geshurites. Geshur was a city and its surrounding area somewhere northeast of Bashan (cf. Josh 12:5 ; 13:11, 13). One of David’s wives was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur and mother of Absalom (cf. 2 Sam 13:37; 15:8; 1 Chr 3:2).

² sn Maacathites. These were the people of a territory southwest of Mount Hermon on the Jordan River. The name probably has nothing to do with David’s wife from Geshur (see note on “Geshurites” earlier in this verse).

³ sn Havvoth-Jair. The Hebrew name means “villages of Jair,” the latter being named after a son (i.e., descendant) of Manasseh who took the area by conquest.

⁴ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

⁵ tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”

⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

⁷ tn Heb “the Lord’s.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

⁸ tn Heb “the word,” but a predictive word is in view here. Cf. NAB “his oracle.”

⁹ tn Heb “does not happen or come to pass.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “the Lord has.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

¹¹ tn Heb “that is the word which the Lord has not spoken.”

¹² tn Heb “the priests, the sons of Levi.”

¹³ tn Heb “in the name of the Lord.” See note on Deut 10:8. The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

¹⁴ tn Heb “by their mouth.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “every controversy and every blow.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “If you are not careful to do.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “the wrath of the Lord and his zeal.” The expression is a hendiadys, a figure in which the second noun becomes adjectival to the first.

¹⁸ tn Heb “smoke,” or “smolder.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “the entire oath.”

²⁰ tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”

²¹ tn Heb “blot out his name from under the sky.”
