Deuteronomy 4:9
Reminder of the Horeb Covenant
4:9 Again, however, pay very careful attention, 1 lest you forget the things you have seen and disregard them for the rest of your life; instead teach them to your children and grandchildren.

20:5 Moreover, the officers are to say to the troops, 3 “Who among you 4 has built a new house and not dedicated 5 it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else 6 dedicate it.
Deuteronomy 20:7
20:7 Or who among you 7 has become engaged to a woman but has not married her? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else marry her.”
Deuteronomy 15:9
15:9 Be careful lest you entertain the wicked thought that the seventh year, the year of cancellation of debts, has almost arrived, and your attitude 8 be wrong toward your impoverished fellow Israelite 9 and you do not lend 10 him anything; he will cry out to the Lord against you and you will be regarded as having sinned. 11
Deuteronomy 18:16
18:16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the Lord your God: “Please do not make us hear the voice of the Lord our 12 God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.”
1 tn Heb “watch yourself and watch your soul carefully.”
2 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 7:19.
3 tn Heb “people” (also in vv. 8, 9).
4 tn Heb “Who [is] the man” (also in vv. 6, 7, 8).
5 tn The Hebrew term חָנַךְ (khanakh) occurs elsewhere only with respect to the dedication of Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 8:63 = 2 Chr 7:5). There it has a religious connotation which, indeed, may be the case here as well. The noun form (חָנֻכָּה, khanukah) is associated with the consecration of the great temple altar (2 Chr 7:9) and of the postexilic wall of Jerusalem (Neh 12:27). In Maccabean times the festival of Hanukkah was introduced to celebrate the rededication of the temple following its desecration by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (1 Macc 4:36-61).
6 tn Heb “another man.”
7 tn Heb “Who [is] the man.”
8 tn Heb “your eye.”
9 tn Heb “your needy brother.”
10 tn Heb “give” (likewise in v. 10).
11 tn Heb “it will be a sin to you.”
12 tn The Hebrew text uses the collective singular in this verse: “my God…lest I die.”
