TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:1-20 Once Israel inhabited the land, they might have the human tendency to take credit for the blessings that followed. Moses warned the people to guard against a self-congratulatory attitude. God alone is the source of all prosperity and achievement.

TTNTyndale 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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֖ בִּ⁠לְבָבֶ֑⁠ךָ כֹּחִ⁠י֙ וְ⁠עֹ֣צֶם יָדִ֔⁠י עָ֥שָׂה לִ֖⁠י אֶת־הַ⁠חַ֥יִל הַ⁠זֶּֽה

and,say in/on/at/with,heart,your power,my and,might hand,my he/it_had_made to=me DOM the,wealth the,this

As modeled by the UST, if it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “And you will say in your heart that your power and the might of your hand made for you this wealth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֖ בִּ⁠לְבָבֶ֑⁠ךָ

and,say in/on/at/with,heart,your

See how you translated this in 7:17. Alternate translation: “And you will say to yourselves”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠עֹ֣צֶם יָדִ֔⁠י

and,might hand,my

Here, hand represents the whole person in the act of using their might. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and my own might”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠חַ֥יִל הַ⁠זֶּֽה

the,wealth the,this

Here, this wealth refers to all the good things that Moses listed in verses 7-10 and 12-13. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “this prosperity and all these possessions”
