Footnotes

  1. 5 After the phrase “the Lord” many and versions add “your God” to complete the usual full epithet.
  2. 6 The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “surely.” Note however, that the use is rhetorical, for the next verse attaches a condition.
  3. 7 Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
  4. 8 The Hebrew text includes “to possess.”
