Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 32:49 sn Abarim. This refers to the high plateau region of the Transjordan, the highest elevation of which is Mount Pisgah (or Nebo; cf. Deut 34:1). See also the note on the name “Pisgah” in Deut 3:17.
  2. Deuteronomy 32:50 tn In the Hebrew text the forms translated “you will die…and join” are imperatives, but the actions in view cannot really be commanded. The imperative is used here in a rhetorical, emphatic manner to indicate the certainty of Moses’ death on the mountain. On the rhetorical use of the imperative see IBHS 572 §34.4c.
  3. Deuteronomy 32:50 tn Heb “be gathered to your people.” The same phrase occurs again later in this verse.
  4. Deuteronomy 32:50 sn Mount Hor. See note on the name “Moserah” in Deut 10:6.
