TSNTyndale Study Notes:

28:13 the head and not the tail: If Israel obeyed the terms of the covenant, it would lead the nations and not be subject to them.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

General Information:

Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the words “you” and “your” here are singular.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the head, and not the tail

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make,you YHWH as,head and=not as,tail and,be only at,top, and=not be at,bottom that/for/because/then/when listen to/towards commandments YHWH God,your which/who I commanding,you the=day to=guard/protect and,to,follow )

This metaphor describes the nation of Israel as an animal and means the Israelites will always be the leaders over other nations and never the servants following behind them. The Israelites will be superior in power, money, and honor.

(Occurrence 0) will be only above … will never be beneath

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make,you YHWH as,head and=not as,tail and,be only at,top, and=not be at,bottom that/for/because/then/when listen to/towards commandments YHWH God,your which/who I commanding,you the=day to=guard/protect and,to,follow )

The Israelites will rule over others but never have others rule them.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you

(Occurrence 0) I am commanding you

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make,you YHWH as,head and=not as,tail and,be only at,top, and=not be at,bottom that/for/because/then/when listen to/towards commandments YHWH God,your which/who I commanding,you the=day to=guard/protect and,to,follow )

Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, so the word “you” is plural.
