Deuteronomy 11:22–25

11:22 For if you carefully observe all of these commandments45 I am giving you46 and love the Lord your God, live according to his standards,47 and remain loyal to him, 11:23 then he48 will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you. 11:24 Every place you set your foot49 will be yours; your border will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from the River (that is, the Euphrates) as far as the Mediterranean Sea.50 11:25 Nobody will be able to resist you; the Lord your God will spread the fear and terror of you over the whole land on which you walk, just as he promised you.

45	tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.
46	tn Heb “commanding you to do it.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation and “to do it” has been left untranslated.
47	tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”
48	tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
49	tn Heb “the sole of your foot walks.” The placing of the foot symbolizes conquest and dominion, especially on land or on the necks of enemies (cf. Deut 1:36; Ps 7:13; Isa 63:3 Hab 3:19; Zech 9:13). See E. H. Merrill, NIDOTTE 1:992.
50	tn Heb “the after sea,” that is, the sea behind one when one is facing east, which is the normal OT orientation. Cf. ASV “the hinder sea.”
