TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:9 Iron was not widely used in this period of the Bronze Age because the process of smelting and working it was known to only a few cultures (see 1 Sam 13:19-21). The time would come when Israel would exploit this vastly superior metal (see Josh 17:16-18; 1 Kgs 6:7; 2 Kgs 6:5; 1 Chr 22:3).

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 / infostructure

אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹ֤א בְ⁠מִסְכֵּנֻת֙ תֹּֽאכַל־בָּ֣⁠הּ לֶ֔חֶם

which/who not in/on/at/with,scarcity you(ms)_will_eat in/on/at/with,it food/grain/bread

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the phrasing of this clause. Alternate translation: “where you will eat bread without scarcity”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לֶ֔חֶם

food/grain/bread

Here, bread represents all food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “meals”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹ֤א בְ⁠מִסְכֵּנֻת֙

not in/on/at/with,scarcity

Moses is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, no, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “in abundance”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְ⁠מִסְכֵּנֻת֙

in/on/at/with,scarcity

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of poverty, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “being poor” or “feeling hungry”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹֽא־תֶחְסַ֥ר כֹּ֖ל בָּ֑⁠הּ

not lack all in/on/at/with,it

Moses is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “where everything in it will be sufficient for you”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֲבָנֶ֣י⁠הָ בַרְזֶ֔ל וּ⁠מֵ⁠הֲרָרֶ֖י⁠הָ תַּחְצֹ֥ב נְחֹֽשֶׁת

stones,whose iron and,from,hills,whose mine copper/brass/bronze//coin

The implication is that one can dig (as in, mine) for iron and copper ore in the land. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “there is iron ore and there is copper ore that you can mine”

Note 7 topic: translate-unknown

נְחֹֽשֶׁת

copper/brass/bronze//coin

Here, the word copper refers to a soft metal used for making tools and other utensils. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of metal, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “soft metal”
