Deuteronomy 5:22

The Narrative of the Sinai Revelation and Israel’s Response

5:22 The Lord said these things to your entire assembly at the mountain from the middle of the fire, the cloud, and the darkness with a loud voice, and that was all he said. 1  Then he inscribed the words 2  on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

Deuteronomy 31:27

31:27 for I know about your rebellion and stubbornness. 3  Indeed, even while I have been living among you to this very day, you have rebelled against the Lord; you will be even more rebellious after my death! 4 

1 tn Heb “and he added no more” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); NLT “This was all he said at that time.”

2 tn Heb “them”; the referent (the words spoken by the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “stiffness of neck” (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV). See note on the word “stubborn” in Deut 9:6.

4 tn Heb “How much more after my death?” The Hebrew text has a sarcastic rhetorical question here; the translation seeks to bring out the force of the question.
