and then you are careful to observe all these commandments 1  I am giving 2  you today (namely, to love the Lord your God and to always walk in his ways), then you must add three more cities 3  to these three.

XREF

De 11:22-25; De 12:32; Jos 20:7,8

NET © Notes

tn Heb “all this commandment.” This refers here to the entire covenant agreement of the Book of Deuteronomy as encapsulated in the Shema (Deut 6:4-5).

tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you today.”

sn You will add three more cities. Since these are alluded to nowhere else and thus were probably never added, this must be a provision for other cities of refuge should they be needed (cf. v. 8). See P. C. Craigie, Deuteronomy (NICOT), 267.
