Deuteronomy 33:23

Context
Blessing on Naphtali

33:23 Of Naphtali he said:

O Naphtali, overflowing with favor,

and full of the Lord’s blessing,

possess the west and south.

1 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

2 tn Heb “take delight to love.” Here again the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”), juxtaposed with בָחַר (bakhar, “choose”), is a term in covenant contexts that describes the Lord’s initiative in calling the patriarchal ancestors to be the founders of a people special to him (cf. the note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37).

3 tn The Hebrew text includes “after them,” but it is redundant in English style and has not been included in the translation.

4 tn Heb “twist, overturn”; NRSV “subverts the cause.”

5 tn Or “innocent”; NRSV “those who are in the right”; NLT “the godly.”
