1 tn The words “you must fight” are not present in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Heb “gives your brothers rest.”
3 tn There is some degree of paronomasia (wordplay) here: “the seventh (הַשְּׁבִיעִי, hashÿvi’i) day is the Sabbath (שַׁבָּת, shabbat).” Otherwise, the words have nothing in common, since “Sabbath” is derived from the verb שָׁבַת (shavat, “to cease”).
4 tn Heb “in your gates”; NRSV, CEV “in your towns”; TEV “in your country.”
5 tn Heb “the
6 tn See note at Deut 12:12.
7 tn Heb “in all the sending forth of your hands.”
8 tn The Hebrew term שָׁפָן (shafan) may refer to the “coney” (cf. KJV, NIV) or hyrax (“rock badger,” cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).
9 tn This refers to wine in the early stages of fermentation. In its later stages it becomes wine (יַיִן, yayin) in its mature sense.
10 tn Heb “his neighbor” (so NAB, NIV); NASB “his friend.”
11 tn Heb “and he raises his hand with the iron.”
12 tn Heb “the iron slips off.”
13 tn Heb “finds.”
14 tn Heb “his neighbor.”
15 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the person responsible for his friend’s death) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
16 tn Heb “and live.”
17 tn Heb “to fight against it to capture it.”
18 tn Heb “you must not destroy its trees by chopping them with an iron” (i.e., an ax).
19 tn Heb “you may eat from them.” The direct object is not expressed; the word “fruit” is supplied in the translation for clarity.
20 tn Heb “to go before you in siege.”
21 tn Heb “for he”; the referent (the man who made the accusation) has been specified in the translation to avoid confusion with the young woman’s father, the last-mentioned male.
22 tn Heb “brought forth a bad name.”
23 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “by all means.”
24 tn Or “righteous” (so NIV, NLT).
25 tn Heb “in the field.”
26 tn Heb “of your hands.” This law was later applied in the story of Ruth who, as a poor widow, was allowed by generous Boaz to glean in his fields (Ruth 2:1-13).
27 sn The removal of the sandal was likely symbolic of the relinquishment by the man of any claim to his dead brother’s estate since the sandal was associated with the soil or land (cf. Ruth 4:7-8). Spitting in the face was a sign of utmost disgust or disdain, an emotion the rejected widow would feel toward her uncooperative brother-in-law (cf. Num 12:14; Lev 15:8). See W. Bailey, NIDOTTE 2:544.
28 tn Heb “build the house of his brother”; TEV “refuses to give his brother a descendant”; NLT “refuses to raise up a son for his brother.”
29 tn Heb includes “the tithes of.” This has not been included in the translation to avoid redundancy.
30 tn The terms “Levite, resident foreigner, orphan, and widow” are collective singulars in the Hebrew text (also in v. 13).
31 tn Heb “gates.”
32 tn Heb “fathers.”
33 tn The expression “him who resided in the bush” is frequently understood as a reference to the appearance of the Lord to Moses at Sinai from a burning bush (so NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT; cf. Exod 2:2-6; 3:2, 4). To make this reference clear the word “burning” is supplied in the translation.
34 sn This apparently refers to Joseph’s special status among his brothers as a result of his being chosen by God to save the family from the famine and to lead Egypt.
