Context3:24 “O, Lord God, 1 you have begun to show me 2 your greatness and strength. 3 (What god in heaven or earth can rival your works and mighty deeds?)
Deuteronomy 11:3
Context11:3 They did not see 4 the awesome deeds he performed 5 in the midst of Egypt against Pharaoh king of Egypt and his whole land,
1 tn Heb “Lord
2 tn Heb “your servant.” The pronoun is used in the translation to clarify that Moses is speaking of himself, since in contemporary English one does not usually refer to oneself in third person.
3 tn Heb “your strong hand” (so NIV), a symbol of God’s activity.
4 tn In the Hebrew text vv. 2-7 are one long sentence. For stylistic reasons the English translation divides the passage into three sentences. To facilitate this stylistic decision the words “They did not see” are supplied at the beginning of both v. 3 and v. 5, and “I am speaking” at the beginning of v. 7.
5 tn Heb “his signs and his deeds which he did” (NRSV similar). The collocation of “signs” and “deeds” indicates that these acts were intended to make an impression on observers and reveal something about God’s power (cf. v. 2b). The word “awesome” has been employed to bring out the force of the word “signs” in this context.
