Deuteronomy 32:30-31

unless their Rock had delivered them up, 3

as even our enemies concede.
1 tc The Hebrew text is corrupt here; the translation follows the suggestion offered in HALOT 1477 s.v. שׁיה. Cf. NASB, NLT “You neglected”; NIV “You deserted”; NRSV “You were unmindful of.”
2 tn The words “man” and “of them” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “sold them” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
4 tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.
