Footnotes

4 Heb “and my commandments you shall keep and do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 20:8; 25:18, etc.).
5 Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
6 Heb “the tree of the field will give its fruit.” As a collective singular this has been translated as plural.
7 Heb “will reach for you the vintage season.”
8 Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
9 Heb “to satisfaction”; , , “to the full.”
10 Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
11 Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.
12 Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).
13 Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.
