Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter

Yahweh’s blessings

Yahweh’s continued blessing of the people of Israel is dependent upon the people’s obedience to the law of Moses. When the Israelites agreed to the covenant with Yahweh, they acknowledged that worshiping and obeying Yahweh would lead to blessings, while disobeying him and worshiping other gods would lead to curses. (See: bless and lawofmoses)

The Shema

Verses 6-9 are known as the Shema in Judaism. They are an important foundation of Judaism. In Mark 12:28-29, Jesus identifies the Shema as the greatest commandment.

Writing Yahweh’s Words on One’s Arms, Forehead, and Doorposts

Verses 8-9 command the Israelites always to remember Yahweh’s words. There are different understandings of these commands. Some Jewish traditions interpret these verses as meaning the Israelites should physically write copies of the law. Others believe that the command is to memorize and cherish the law. Translators should be careful to translate the passage as it is, without favoring one interpretation or the other in their translation.

Translation Issues in This Chapter

Words for “the law”

- statutes- ordinances- judgmentsMoses uses three different words to refer to the law that Yahweh commanded the Israelites to obey. It is unclear what distinguishes each of these terms from the others. If your language has several terms for the law, you could use them here to differentiate between the various Hebrew words.
