Deuteronomy 32:31

Context

32:31 For our enemies’ 3  rock is not like our Rock,

as even our enemies concede.

1 tc The LXX reads Θεός (qeos, “God”) for the MT’s “Rock.”

sn The Hebrew term depicts God as a rocky summit where one may find safety and protection. Within a covenantal context it serves as a reminder to the people that their God has committed himself to their protection in return for their allegiance.

2 tn Or “just” (KJV, NAB, NRSV, NLT) or “righteous” (NASB).

3 tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.
