² tc The Greek version adds “which is Mount Nebo.” This is a typical scribal change to harmonize two passages.

sn The area is in the mountains of Moab; Deut 34:1 more precisely identifies it as Mount Nebo.

³ tn The imperative could be subordinated to the first to provide a purpose clause, although a second instruction fits well enough.

⁴ tn This perfect tense would best be classified as a perfect of resolve: “which I have decided to give.” God had not yet given the land to them, but it was certain he would.

⁵ tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 9.
