Deuteronomy 19:6

Deuteronomy 29:20

¹ tn Or “anything that has been put under the divine curse”; Heb “anything of the ban” (cf. NASB). See note on the phrase “divine judgment” in Deut 2:34.

² tn Heb “and overtake him, for the road is long.”

³ tn Heb “smite with respect to life,” that is, fatally.

⁴ tn Heb “no judgment of death.”

⁵ tn Heb “the wrath of the Lord and his zeal.” The expression is a hendiadys, a figure in which the second noun becomes adjectival to the first.

⁶ tn Heb “smoke,” or “smolder.”

⁷ tn Heb “the entire oath.”

⁸ tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”

⁹ tn Heb “blot out his name from under the sky.”

¹⁰ tn Or “to the lowest depths of the earth”; cf. NAB “to the depths of the nether world”; NIV “to the realm of death below”; NLT “to the depths of the grave.”

sn Sheol refers here not to hell and hell-fire – a much later concept – but to the innermost parts of the earth, as low down as one could get. The parallel with “the foundations of the mountains” makes this clear (cf. Pss 9:17; 16:10; 139:8; Isa 14:9, 15; Amos 9:2).
