Deuteronomy 3:17

3:17 The Arabah and the Jordan River 1  were also a border, from the sea of Chinnereth 2  to the sea of the Arabah (that is, the Salt Sea), 3  beneath the watershed 4  of Pisgah 5  to the east.

Deuteronomy 11:24

11:24 Every place you set your foot 6  will be yours; your border will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from the River (that is, the Euphrates) as far as the Mediterranean Sea. 7 

Deuteronomy 12:10

12:10 When you do go across the Jordan River 8  and settle in the land he 9  is granting you as an inheritance and you find relief from all the enemies who surround you, you will live in safety. 10 

1 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity (also in vv. 20, 25).

2 tn Heb “from Chinnereth.” The words “the sea of” have been supplied in the translation as a clarification.

sn Chinnereth. This is another name for the Sea of Galilee, so called because its shape is that of a harp (the Hebrew term for “harp” is כִּנּוֹר, kinnor).

3 sn The Salt Sea is another name for the Dead Sea (cf. Gen 14:3; Josh 3:16).

4 tn The meaning of the Hebrew term אַשְׁדֹּת (’ashdot) is unclear. It is usually translated either “slopes” (ASV, NAB, NIV) or “watershed” (NEB).

5 sn Pisgah. This appears to refer to a small range of mountains, the most prominent peak of which is Mount Nebo (Num 21:20; 23:14; Deut 3:27; cf. 34:1).

6 tn Heb “the sole of your foot walks.” The placing of the foot symbolizes conquest and dominion, especially on land or on the necks of enemies (cf. Deut 1:36; Ps 7:13; Isa 63:3 Hab 3:19; Zech 9:13). See E. H. Merrill, NIDOTTE 1:992.

7 tn Heb “the after sea,” that is, the sea behind one when one is facing east, which is the normal OT orientation. Cf. ASV “the hinder sea.”

8 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

9 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

10 tn In the Hebrew text vv. 10-11 are one long, complex sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two sentences.
