# Deuteronomy 01 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter forms a continuation with the last chapter of the book of Numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh's victory
|
||||
The chapter explains that Israel's conquering of the Promised Land will be done by Yahweh. They are not to fear the people of Canaan but be obedient to Yahweh. Yahweh is bringing about his judgement upon the people of Canaan. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/judge]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Possessing the land
|
||||
While the Promised Land belongs to Israel, they do not possess the land. Possessing the land is an important theme. Posessing the land depended on Israel's faithfulness. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faithful]])

# Deuteronomy 02 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Covenant faithfulness
|
||||
Yahweh is faithful to the covenant he made with Abraham. He is also faithful to the promises he made with Esau and Lot. Because of this, Israel was given specific land it was able to conquer in Canaan. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenantfaith]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faithful]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promise]])

||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||

# Deuteronomy 04 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Law of Moses
|
||||
In order to possess the land, the people needed to obey the law of Moses. This will be the most important thing in the religious life of Israel. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Moses's instructions
|
||||
Moses is not allowed to enter into the Promised Land. Since they are getting ready to possess the Promised Land, Moses gives them some last instructions before his death. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rhetorical Questions
|
||||
Moses uses several rhetorical questions in this chapter. The purpose of these questions is to convince his readers to obey his instructions. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# Deuteronomy 05 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Some translations set each of the commandments in the list of Ten Commandments in 5:7-21 farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text. The ULB uses a separate paragraph for each commandment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ten commandments
|
||||
This chapter repeats the material of Exodus 20. It is known as the Ten Commandments.
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Metaphors and idioms
|
||||
Moses uses metaphors and idioms to instruct the people to follow the law of Moses. This is because it is very important to follow these laws. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# Deuteronomy 07 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "You must completely destroy them"
|
||||
The people of Canaan were to be punished by Yahweh. Yahweh used Israel to punish these nations. If they were not completely destroyed, they would lead Israel into sin. Therefore, they were to be completely destroyed and be shown no mercy. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/mercy]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Abrahamic Covenant
|
||||
This chapter references parts of the covenant Yahweh made with Abraham. It also emphasizes Yahweh's faithfulness to this covenant. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faithful]])

# Deuteronomy 08 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Forgetting
|
||||
This chapter recalls the great things that Yahweh has done for Israel and is about to do for them. This is so they do not forget him and they will continue to worship him. They must remember that Yahweh is the source of their blessings. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/bless]])

# Deuteronomy 09 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh's victory
|
||||
This chapter assures the Israelites that it is Yahweh who will empower them to conquer the Promised Land. The Israelites will not be strong enough on their own to conquer these other nations. This victory will be Yahweh's. The people did not earn this victory, but it is Yahweh's punishment of these sinful nations. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Israel's sin
|
||||
Yahweh is about to punish the Canaanites for their sin. He also reminds Israel of their sin. This serves as a warning to the people of Israel. If they sin again, Yahweh will punish them too.

|
||||
This chapter is a continuation of the previous chapter.
|
||||
|
||||

# Deuteronomy 11 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
#### Therefore
|
||||
This chapter begins with the word "therefore," which looks back to the instructions Moses gave in the previous two chapters.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Eyewitnesses
|
||||
The instruction that Moses gives and the retelling of the great things Yahweh has done for Israel are very important. This is because the generation entering into the Promised Land did not witness many of these events. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/testimony]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Covenant
|
||||
This chapter is included in the covenant God made with Moses, even though it is not explicitly said. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Deuteronomy 12 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Covenant with Moses
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter is a continuation of the covenant Yahweh made with Moses. The reasons for these food restrictions are not always known.(See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Israel and Yahweh
|
||||
|
||||
In the ancient Near East, when nations conquered other nations, they often added the gods of the conquered nation into their collection of gods they worshiped. It was rare to worship only one God. Israel was to be known for worshiping Yahweh and Yahweh alone. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]])

### Special concepts in this chapter
|

|
||||
#### Worshiping other gods
|
||||
|
||||
The people were required to listen to Yahweh's prophets unless they were encouraging the people to worship other gods. The punishment for anyone leading the people to worship other gods was death. These instructions were to keep Israel's worship of Yahweh pure. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/purify]])

### Special concepts in this chapter

|
||||
#### Law of Moses
|
||||
This chapter is part of the law of Moses, which is part of the covenant Yahweh made with Moses. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Clean animals
|
||||
There are animals which the law considered to be clean and unclean. The people were not allowed to eat the unclean animals. Scholars are uncertain about the reasons for the animals to be considered to be clean or unclean. The result of these food restrictions was a nation that was different than the nations surrounding it. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/clean]])

|
||||
This chapter gives instructions about the necessity to regularly forgive debt among their fellow countryman. This prevented people from being trapped by their poverty.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Justice
|
||||
As Yahweh's chosen nation, there must be justice in Israel. This chapter gives commands that encouraged justice by protecting the poor, servants and slaves. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/elect]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]])

### Special concepts in this chapter

||||
#### Festivals
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter retells the specific commands about how to celebrate the Passover. This recalled the Passover in Egypt, which was an important event in the formation of the nation of Israel. There are several other important festivals described in this chapter. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/passover]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Life in Israel
|
||||
|
||||
As Yahweh's chosen nation, there must be justice in Israel. Also, Yahweh must be the only God in Israel. He alone is to be worshiped. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/elect]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]])

# Deuteronomy 17 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Witnesses
|
||||
In the ancient Near East, it was common for a person to be punished by the testimony of a single person, especially if this was an important person. The rules in this chapter give protection to people, especially the poor by requiring multiple witnesses. This allowed justice to be done. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/testimony]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### King
|
||||
Israel was not to have a king because Yahweh was their king. Knowing the sinfulness of the people, Yahweh anticipated that one day Israel would have a king. Therefore, this passage gives commands about their king prophetically. They were not allowed to collect chariots because they were a sign of earthly power and the king was to trust in Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sign]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Deuteronomy 18 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Levites
|
||||
As Yahweh's chosen priests, the priest were to trust in Yahweh to provide for them. He provided for them through the rest of the Israelites. Yahweh was their inheritance. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/elect]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/inherit]])
|

|

#### Messiah
|
||||
This chapter is one of the first prophecies about the promised, coming Messiah. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promise]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ]])

# Deuteronomy 19 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Justice
|
||||
Another way justice would be maintained in Israel was by avoiding revenge killings. This chapter describes the establishment of special cities to protect those fleeing from revenge killings. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/avenge]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Witnesses
|
||||
In the ancient Near East, it was common for a person to be punished by the testimony of a single person, especially if this was an important person. The rules in this chapter give protection to people, especially the poor by requiring multiple witnesses. This allowed justice to be done. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/testimony]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Law of retaliation
|
||||
The chapter describes a famous law, often called the "law of retaliation." It is said, an "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." This does not mean a person who causes another person to lose their eye must have their own eye removed as punishment. This law is not about making all things equal. Instead, it is about limiting the punishment or the ability of a person to retaliate. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Deuteronomy 20 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh's protection
|
||||
Israel was not to worry about the power and strength of other nations. Instead, they were to trust in the power of Yahweh. He is the source of their military strength and protection. This is why a priest leads them into battle, rather than a military commander. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Holy war
|
||||
Israel's conquering of the Promised Land was unique in history. It was a type of holy war and had special rules. This war was really Yahweh's punishment against the sin of the Canaanite people. If the people were not completely destroyed, they would cause Israel to sin. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/holy]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "What man is there"
|
||||
This phrase is used several times to introduce a rhetorical question. The questions are intended to tell the readers that Yahweh only wants soldiers who are completely dedicated to fighting for him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Excused from fighting
|
||||
In ancient Israel, men were excused from fighting in battle for several different reasons. Some of these reasons are mentioned in this chapter. Apparently, needing to establish a new house, the need to harvest a field and cowardice were possible excuses. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Deuteronomy 21 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Elders
|
||||
Older men were required to lead the people of Israel and help to administer justice. These men would function as judges, which would later become a more official position. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Peace in Israel
|
||||
The rules and instructions in this chapter help to ensure peace in Israel. This is not a military peace. Instead, it is about establishing peace within Israel and among the people.

# Deuteronomy 22 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Order in Israel
|
||||
The instructions in this chapter help to maintain order in this chapter. The people are to have integrity. The people's sin will result in serious punishment. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Virgin woman
|
||||
If a woman was not a virgin, she was not considered to be worth marrying. The man who slept with her was responsible for providing for her since she will not be able to find a husband to provide for her. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Deuteronomy 23 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### The assembly of Yahweh
|
||||
This was probably the corporate worship of Yahweh, when the people would come together to worship him.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Racial superiority
|
||||
Yahweh viewed Israel as superior to the other nations of Canaan. In many cultures, this may be seen as immoral. It must be remembered that the instructions of this chapter are very remote from the modern world. These people groups were always sinful and idolatrous. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
This chapter continues the teaching about how to maintain justice in Israel. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "No man may take a mill or an upper millstone as a pledge"
|
||||
A millstone was the way a person made a living. To take a person's millstone was to take take away the way they earned money and produced food. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Lending money
|
||||
Lending money to fellow Israelites was a way to help them out. It was not intended to be a way to make money off their brothers. This chapter gives limitations regarding the lending of money.

### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "A perfect and just weight you must have"
|
||||
In the ancient Near East, people weighed gold and silver on a scale and used it as money. God was commanding people to use accurate weights for weighing the gold and silver. He did not want them to rob people by using inaccurate weights.

### Special concepts in this chapter

|
||||
#### Final instructions
|
||||
In the Ancient Near East, it was common for an important leader to give instructions for his people to follow after his death. In this chapter, Moses begins his final words to the people of Israel. These are words that he wants them to remember long after he is gone. This section also helped to make a smooth transition to Joshua's leadership.

# Introduction to Deuteronomy
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 1: General Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
### Outline of Deuteronomy
|
||||
|
||||
1. Moses reminds Israel of how Yahweh guided them through the wilderness (1:1–3:29)
|
||||
1. Moses appeals for Israel to obey the law of Yahweh (4:1–43)
|
||||
1. The Ten Commandments (5:1–10:22)
|
||||
1. Rules and warnings from the Law (11:1–26:19)
|
||||
1. Instructions for entering Canaan (27:1–26)
|
||||
1. Blessings for obeying and curses for disobeying (28:1-68)
|
||||
1. The covenant renewed (29:1-30:20)
|
||||
1. Last words of Moses, the Song of Moses, and his death (31:1–34:12)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### What is the Book of Deuteronomy about?
|
||||
|
||||
In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses repeats the laws of the covenant that God made with the people of Israel. The people of Israel were about to go into the Promised Land. Before they entered the land, Moses reminded them of what Yahweh did for them and what he expected from them. Moses warned the people about worshipping idols and no longer trusting Yahweh once they settled in the Promised Land. Yahweh promised to judge those who disobey him and to bless those who obey his Law. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant]])
|
||||
|
||||
### How should the title of this book be translated?
|
||||
|
||||
The name "Deuteronomy" means "Second Law" or "the retelling of the Law." Translators may decide on a title such as, "A Repeat of the Law" or "Moses Explains the Law Again." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Who wrote the Book of Deuteronomy?
|
||||
|
||||
The writers of both the Old and New Testament present Moses as being very involved with writing the Book of Deuteronomy. However, many scholars think that Joshua wrote chapter 34. This chapter tells how Moses died.
|
||||
|
||||
### What are the important features of the Book of Deuteronomy?
|
||||
|
||||
The book contains a series of speeches that Moses gave to Israel before he died. He spoke these things just before the people entered the Promised Land. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Why did Yahweh command the Israelites to completely destroy the people who lived in the Promised Land?
|
||||
|
||||
As God prepared the Israelites to enter the Promised Land, he commanded them to completely destroy the Canaanite people who lived there. The Israelites would then not be tempted to join them and worship their false gods.
|
||||
|
||||
## Part 3: Important Translation Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### What is the role of God's name in Deuteronomy?
|
||||
|
||||
God's name is mentioned over thirty times in the book of Deuteronomy. The use of God's name in this book usually represents God's honor or fame. At other times in Deuteronomy, God's name represents his presence. God said he would choose a place and make his name dwell there. This means God's presence would be there. The people were to go to that place to worship him.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can this book be translated before the rest of the Pentateuch?
|
||||
|
||||
The Books of Genesis and Exodus help to explain what happens in Deuteronomy. For this reason, those books should be translated before the Book of Deuteronomy.

||||

||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|

This chapter appears to be a natural continuation of the book of Deuteronomy.
|
||||
|

### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Be strong and Courageous
|
||||
|
||||
Joshua is often told, "Be strong and courageous." This repeated encouragement is on purpose and may indicate Joshua will need help in the future.

|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rahab's faith
|
||||
|
||||
Rahab expressed her faith in Yahweh. The statement "for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above and on the earth below" is a recognition of her faith. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/heaven]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Metaphor
|
||||
|
||||
The Israelites were to completely destroy the evil Canaanites. They are compared to melting snow: "... melting away because of us." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/evil]])

# Joshua 04 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### God's war
|
||||
The conquering of the Promised Land was a special war. It was God's war against the people of Canaan and Joshua recognized that they would only be victorious through Yahweh's power. This is why their first act after crossing the Jordan River was to build an altar. This war was a witness to Yahweh's power. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]])

|

### Special concepts in this chapter

#### Circumcision
|
||||
|
||||
It would have been very unusual to be circumcised in a time of war. When men are circumcised they are unable to move without pain or to defend themselves in battle for several days. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/circumcise]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manna
|
||||
|
||||
Yahweh stops providing manna in this chapter and will no longer provide them with their daily allotment of food. This does not mean Yahweh's care and provision will stop.

It was God, not the army, who gave them victory. It is said, "Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city." The circumstances of Israel's victory in the battle for Jericho were very unusual. It was never common to march around a city or to shout in order to win a military battle. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

#### Israel's mistake
|

Israel was deceived because "they did not consult with Yahweh for guidance." Instead of consulting Yahweh, they attempted to achieve victory under their own power. This was sinful. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

# Joshua 10 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The ULB sets the lines in 10:12-13 farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because they are a poem.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "For Yahweh was waging war on behalf of Israel"
|
||||
Israel's conquest of the Promised Land was Yahweh's war on the ungodly Canaanites more than Israel's war. This type of war was different from other wars and God gave Israel special instructions. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/godly]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Idiom
|
||||
|
||||
The people of Gibeon used an idiom when they called for help from Israel: "Do not withdraw your hands," meaning "do not stop protecting." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# Joshua 11 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Yahweh overcomes the united forces of the northern kingdoms
|
||||
|
||||
Yahweh said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid in their presence, because tomorrow at this time I am giving them all to Israel as dead men." Even when the kingdoms of Canaan joined forces, they were not able to overcome the power of Yahweh.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
#### "Yahweh gave the enemy into the hand of Israel"
|
||||
This phrase may present difficulties in translation. The translator should ensure that Yahweh receives credit for Israel's victory. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# Joshua 13 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter begins a section about dividing the land between the tribes of Israel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Division of the land
|
||||
|
||||
There was still much land to be captured west of the Jordan River, but the tribe of Reuben, Gad and half of the tribe of Mannasah received their land east of the Jordan. This land had been promised to them in Numbers 32.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Driving out the people
|
||||
|
||||
While Yahweh achieved many great victories through Joshua, Israel was still supposed to drive out the rest of the Canaanites. Israel's success in this would depend on their faith in Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]])

||||
#### Drive them out
|
||||
The Israelites were to completely drive out the Canaanites. If they did not drive them out completely, the Canaanites would cause the Israelites to worship other gods. It was sinful to allow the Canaanites to remain in the land. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

#### Manasseh's lack of faith
|

Even though they were one of the largest and most powerful tribes of Israel, the tribe of Manasseh lacked faith in the power of Yahweh. This caused them many problems. It would also cause their descendants many problems. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]])

### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cities of Refuge
|
||||
|
||||
If a person was killed, it was the duty of his relatives to kill the killer. If the death was an accident, this would be unfair. Therefore, God told the Israelites to make cities of refuge for a person who killed someone accidentally. In the city where he sought refuge, his case would be solved legally: "Do this so that one who unintentionally kills a person can go there. These cities will be a place of refuge from anyone who seeks to avenge the blood of a person who was killed." (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/refuge]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/avenge]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/blood]])

### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter

This chapter is about the land given to the tribe of Levi. Even though they did not receive a large piece of land like the other tribes, they did receive small pieces of land to live on and for their animals. It will be difficult to fully understand their locations without a map. Further research may be needed to understand the locations of their land. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Joshua 22 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
The division of the land is completed in this chapter. Additionally, the soldiers who received land on the east side of the Jordan River were released to go home.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### The tribes east of the Jordan River build a monument
|
||||
|
||||
The tribes east of the Jordan River said, "Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offerings nor for any sacrifices, but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we will perform the service of Yahweh before him, with our burnt offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your children will never say to our children in time to come, 'You have no share in Yahweh.'" They went home even though the Israelites had not fully conquered the land.

# turn your heart to Yahweh
|
||||
|
||||
Deciding to obey Yahweh only is spoken of as turning their heart towards him. Here "heart" represents the whole person. In this case, "heart" is plural because it refers to all the Israelites as a single group. However, it may be best to translate it in the plural since "your" is plural. Alternate translation: "turn yourselves to Yahweh" or "decide to obey Yahweh" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
