Footnotes

  1. 1 The singular term (מִצְוָה, mitsvah) includes the whole corpus of covenant stipulations, certainly the book of Deuteronomy at least (cf. Deut 5:28; 6:1, 25; 7:11; 11:8, 22; 15:5; 17:20; 19:9; 27:1; 30:11; 31:5). The plural (מִצְוֹת, mitsot) refers to individual stipulations (as in vv. 2, 6).
  2. 2 Heb “commanding” (so ). For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation (likewise in v. 11).
  3. 3 Heb “multiply” (so , , ); , “increase.”
  4. 4 Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 16, 18).
