TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Curses and Blessings

Nearly all treaty or covenant texts from the ancient Near East contained curses and blessings. The curses were leveled against those who violated the terms of the agreement, while blessings were promised to the faithful. This was particularly true of suzerain-vassal covenants like Deuteronomy (see Deuteronomy Book Introduction, “Literary Form”).

Deuteronomy presented to the assembly of Israel what God expected of the nation. The covenant required the nation of Israel to obey the Lord, and the Israelites had pledged to do so (Exod 19:8). The section on curses and blessings (Deut 27:1–29:1) spells out how God would reward their obedience and judge their disobedience. The curses receive more emphasis than the blessings, perhaps because people naturally pay more attention to promises than to warnings. Blessings may also be more easily understood—promised blessings in the future seem to simply provide well-being, whereas judgment is more abstract and needs detailed, graphic description. God emphasizes the curses to drive home the consequences of wrongdoing. The warnings Jesus offered about things to come (Matt 24–25) were very much in line with these warnings.

Israel’s subsequent history bears witness to God’s promise of both the blessings and the curses. When Israel was faithful to their covenant with God, he blessed the people. When they rebelled, he brought judgment upon them. Israel’s history of rebellion is succinctly summarized in 2 Kings 17:7-20. When the Israelites broke the first two commandments (Deut 5:7-10), they proceeded to violate the whole covenant, and their rebellion brought upon them the curses of Deuteronomy 28.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

מְצַוְּ⁠ךָ֛

giving,you

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you is singular here. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

תִּשְׁמְר֣וּ⁠ן

careful,

See the book introduction for more infromation about translating shall. Alternate translation: “Keep”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לְמַ֨עַן

so_that

Here, so that marks what follows as the goal or purpose of what comes before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תִּֽחְי֜וּ⁠ן וּ⁠רְבִיתֶ֗ם

live, and,increase

The implication is that the Israelites will continue to live in the land and multiply their population with many births if they obey Yahweh. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “you may dwell in the land for a long time and multiply your population”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

נִשְׁבַּ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה לַ⁠אֲבֹתֵי⁠כֶֽם

swore YHWH to,ancestors,your_all's

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. The fact that Yahweh will give the land to the living Israelites is implied by what Moses said earlier in this speech. You could supply these words from earlier in the passage if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Yahweh swore to your fathers that he would give to you”
