1 tn Heb “watch yourself and watch your soul carefully.”
2 tn Heb “have grown old in the land,” i.e., been there for a long time.
3 tn Heb “a form of anything.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, TEV “an idol.”
4 tn The infinitive construct is understood here as indicating the result, not the intention, of their actions.
5 tn Here the terms are not the usual חֻקִּים (khuqqim) and מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishpatim; as in v. 1) but חֻקֹּת (khuqqot, “statutes”) and מִצְוֹת (mitsot, “commandments”). It is clear that these terms are used interchangeably and that their technical precision ought not be overly stressed.
6 tn Heb “commanding.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation.
