Deuteronomy 9:28-29
New English Translation
28 Otherwise the people of the land[a] from which you brought us will say, “The Lord was unable to bring them to the land he promised them, and because of his hatred for them he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.” 29 They are your people, your valued property,[b] whom you brought out with great strength and power.[c]

- Deuteronomy 9:28 tc The MT reads only “the land.” Smr supplies עַם (ʿam, “people”) and LXX and its dependents supply “the inhabitants of the land.” The truncated form found in the MT is adequate to communicate the intended meaning; the words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity.
- Deuteronomy 9:29 tn Heb “your inheritance.” See note at v. 26.
- Deuteronomy 9:29 tn Heb “an outstretched arm.”
