Deuteronomy 1:43

Context
1:43 I spoke to you, but you did not listen. Instead you rebelled against the Lord 1  and recklessly went up to the hill country.

Deuteronomy 11:11

Context
11:11 Instead, the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy 2  is one of hills and valleys, a land that drinks in water from the rains, 3 

Deuteronomy 13:9

Context
13:9 Instead, you must kill him without fail! 4  Your own hand must be the first to strike him, 5  and then the hands of the whole community.

Deuteronomy 20:17

Context
20:17 Instead you must utterly annihilate them 6  – the Hittites, 7  Amorites, 8  Canaanites, 9  Perizzites, 10  Hivites, 11  and Jebusites 12  – just as the Lord your God has commanded you,

1 tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” See note at 1:26.

2 tn Heb “which you are crossing over there to possess it.”

3 tn Heb “rain of heaven.”

4 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail” (cf. NIV “you must certainly put him to death”).

5 tn Heb “to put him to death,” but this is misleading in English for such an action would leave nothing for the others to do.

6 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “utterly.” Cf. CEV “completely wipe out.”

sn The Hebrew verb refers to placing persons or things so evil and/or impure as to be irredeemable under God’s judgment, usually to the extent of their complete destruction. See also the note on the phrase “the divine judgment” in Deut 2:34.

7 sn Hittite. The center of Hittite power was in Anatolia (central modern Turkey). In the Late Bronze Age (1550-1200 b.c.) they were at their zenith, establishing outposts and colonies near and far. Some elements were obviously in Canaan at the time of the Conquest (1400-1350 b.c.).

8 sn Amorite. Originally from the upper Euphrates region (Amurru), the Amorites appear to have migrated into Canaan beginning in 2200 b.c. or thereabouts.

9 sn Canaanite. These were the indigenous peoples of the land of Palestine, going back to the beginning of recorded history (ca. 3000 b.c.). The OT identifies them as descendants of Ham (Gen 10:6), the only Hamites to have settled north and east of Egypt.

10 sn Perizzite. This probably refers to a subgroup of Canaanites (Gen 13:7; 34:30).

11 sn Hivite. These are usually thought to be the same as the Hurrians, a people well-known in ancient Near Eastern texts. They are likely identical to the Horites (see note on “Horites” in Deut 2:12).

12 tc The LXX adds “Girgashites” here at the end of the list in order to list the full (and usual) complement of seven (see note on “seven” in Deut 7:1).

sn Jebusite. These people inhabited the hill country, particularly in and about Jerusalem (cf. Num 13:29; Josh 15:8; 2 Sam 5:6; 24:16).
