Deuteronomy 9:19

For I was terrified at the Lord’s intense anger ¹  that threatened to destroy you. But he ²  listened to me this time as well.

Ex 32:10,11; Ex 32:14; Ex 33:17; De 9:8; De 10:10; Ne 1:2-7; Ps 99:6; Ps 106:23; Am 7:2,3,5,6; Lu 12:4,5; Jas 5:16,17

¹ tn Heb “the anger and the wrath.” Although many English versions translate as two terms, this construction is a hendiadys which serves to intensify the emotion (cf. NAB, TEV “fierce anger”).

² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
