¹ tn Heb “do not listen to,” that is, do not obey.

² tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

³ tn Heb “am commanding” (so NASB, NRSV).

⁴ tn Heb “walk after”; NIV “by following”; NLT “by worshiping.” This is a violation of the first commandment, the most serious of the covenant violations (Deut 5:6-7).

⁵ tc Heb “upon his kingship.” Smr supplies כִּסֵא (kise’, “throne”) so as to read “upon the throne of his kingship.” This overliteralizes what is a clearly understood figure of speech.

⁶ tn Heb “sit.” This expression is euphemistic.

⁷ tn Heb “with it”; the referent (the spade mentioned at the beginning of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tn Heb “what comes from you,” a euphemism.

⁹ tc The LXX adds σφόδρα (sfodra, “very”) to bring the description into line with v. 54.

¹⁰ tn Heb “delicateness and tenderness.”

¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

¹² tn Heb “to the Lord your God.” See note on the second occurrence of the word “he” in v. 3.
