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 / go

מְבִֽיאֲ⁠ךָ֖

bringing,you

In a context such as this, your language might say “taking” instead of bringing. Alternate translation: “is taking you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֶ֚רֶץ

earth/land

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe a land that has the features that follow. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a comparable way of expressing landmarks. Alternate translation: “a land that features”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נַ֣חֲלֵי מָ֔יִם עֲיָנֹת֙ וּ⁠תְהֹמֹ֔ת יֹצְאִ֥ים בַּ⁠בִּקְעָ֖ה וּ⁠בָ⁠הָֽר

streams water springs and,springs welling_up in/on/at/with,valleys and,in/on/at/with,hills

The implication is that water comes up from under the ground even in the mountains. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “plentiful water in both the valleys and the hills” or “flowing out in both the valleys and the hills”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

נַ֣חֲלֵי מָ֔יִם עֲיָנֹת֙ וּ⁠תְהֹמֹ֔ת

streams water springs and,springs

Here, brooks of water, fountains, and springs are all types of flowing bodies of water. If your language does not have this distinction between bodies of water, you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “rivers”
