Deuteronomy 18:5

New English Translation

⁵For the Lord your God has chosen them and their sons from all your tribes to stand^[a] and serve in his name^[b] permanently.

Deuteronomy 18:5 tc Smr and some Greek texts add “before the Lord your God” to bring the language into line with a formula found elsewhere (Deut 10:8; 2 Chr 29:11). This reading is not likely to be original, however.
Deuteronomy 18:5 tn Heb “the name of the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
