Footnotes

  1. 9 Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
  2. 10 In the Hebrew text the infinitive absolute before the finite verb emphasizes the statement. The imperfect has an obligatory nuance here. Cf. “shalt (must ) utterly destroy them”; “must destroy them without mercy.”
  3. 11 Heb “covenant” (so , ); “alliance.”
