Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 7:16 tn Heb “devour” (so NRSV); KJV, NAB, NASB “consume.” The verbal form (a perfect with vav consecutive) is understood here as having an imperatival or obligatory nuance (cf. the instructions and commands that follow).

  2. Deuteronomy 7:16 tn Or “serve” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV).
