1 tn The Hebrew text includes “in their hand,” which is unnecessary and somewhat redundant in English style.
2 tn Heb “them”; the referent (the Rephaites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “them”; the referent (the Ammonites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “was left to him.” The final phrase “to him” is redundant in English and has been left untranslated.
5 tn Heb “the
6 tn Heb “he will not drop you,” i.e., “will not abandon you” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
7 tn Or “will not.” The translation understands the imperfect verbal form to have an added nuance of capability here.
8 tn Heb “repeat” (so NLT). If from the root I שָׁנַן (shanan), the verb means essentially to “engrave,” that is, “to teach incisively” (Piel); note NAB “Drill them into your children.” Cf. BDB 1041-42 s.v.
9 tn Or “as you are away on a journey” (cf. NRSV, TEV, NLT); NAB “at home and abroad.”
10 tn Or “as you are away on a journey” (cf. NRSV, TEV, NLT); NAB “at home and abroad.”
11 tn Heb “however, a tree which you know is not a tree for food you may destroy and cut down.”
12 tn Heb “[an] enclosure.” The term מָצוֹר (matsor) may refer to encircling ditches or to surrounding stagings. See R. de Vaux, Ancient Israel, 238.
13 tn The combination “a wadi with flowing water” is necessary because a wadi (נַחַל, nakhal) was ordinarily a dry stream or riverbed. For this ritual, however, a perennial stream must be chosen so that there would be fresh, rushing water.
14 sn The unworked heifer, fresh stream, and uncultivated valley speak of ritual purity – of freedom from human contamination.
15 tn Heb “and it will be.”
16 tn Heb “if the evil one is a son of smiting.”
17 tn Heb “according to his wickedness, by number.”
18 tn Heb “the
19 tn Heb “who rise up against” (so NIV).
20 tn Heb “way” (also later in this verse and in v. 25).
21 tc The meaningless MT reading זַעֲוָה (za’avah) is clearly a transposition of the more commonly attested Hebrew noun זְוָעָה (zÿva’ah, “terror”).
