Discovery BoxDeuteronomy 29:10-11 
Context29:10 You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God – the heads of your tribes, 1 your elders, your officials, every Israelite man, 29:11 your infants, your wives, and the 2 foreigners living in your encampment, those who chop wood and those who carry water –
1 tc Heb “your heads, your tribes.” The Syriac presupposes either “heads of your tribes” or “your heads, your judges,” etc. (reading שֹׁפְטֵכֶם [shofÿtekhem] for שִׁבְטֵיכֶם [shivtekhem]). Its comparative difficulty favors the originality of the MT reading. Cf. KJV “your captains of your tribes”; NRSV “the leaders of your tribes”; NLT “your tribal leaders.”
2 tn Heb “your.”
