Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 2:11 The Rephaim were a race of giant people who were among the earliest inhabitants of the land. The translation retains the Hebrew form of the name Rephaim because of its occurrence in geographic terms like the Valley of Rephaim.
  2. Deuteronomy 2:13 The words then the Lord told us are not in the Hebrew text but are added to the translation to mark the transition to a new subject.
