¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 14:2.

² tn The Hebrew text includes “way is so far from you that you are unable to carry it because the.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because they are redundant.

³ tn Heb “if listening you listen to the voice of.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “carefully.” The idiom “listen to the voice” means “obey.”

⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 15:4.

⁵ tn Heb “by being careful to do.”

⁶ tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB); NAB “which I enjoin you today.”

⁷ tn Heb “violent” (חָמָס, khamas). This is a witness whose motivation from the beginning is to do harm to the accused and who, therefore, resorts to calumny and deceit. See I. Swart and C. VanDam, NIDOTTE 2:177-80.

⁸ tn Or “rebellion.” Rebellion against God’s law is in view (cf. NAB “of a defection from the law”).

⁹ tn Heb “come upon you and overtake you” (so NASB, NRSV); NIV “come upon you and accompany you.”
