Lexham English Bible
22 Yes, if you diligently keep all[a] this commandment that I am commanding you to observe it, [b] by loving Yahweh your God by walking in[c] all his ways and by holding fast to him, 23 then Yahweh will drive out all of these nations before you,[d] and you will dispossess nations larger and more numerous than you. 24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, it shall be yours; your boundary shall be from the desert and Lebanon from the river, the river Euphrates, on up to the western sea.[e] 25 No one can take a stand against you;[f] your dread and your fear Yahweh your God will put on the surface[g] of all the land where you tread,[h] just as he promised[i] to you.

22 For if you carefully observe all of these commandments[a] I am giving you[b] and love the Lord your God, live according to his standards,[c] and remain loyal to him, 23 then he[d] will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you. 24 Every place you set your foot[e] will be yours; your border will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from the River (that is, the Euphrates) as far as the Mediterranean Sea.[f] 25 Nobody will be able to resist you; the Lord your God will spread the fear and terror of you over the whole land on which you walk, just as he promised you.

- Deuteronomy 11:22 tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.
- Deuteronomy 11:22 tn Heb “commanding you to do it.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation and “to do it” has been left untranslated.
- Deuteronomy 11:22 tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”
- Deuteronomy 11:23 tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
- Deuteronomy 11:24 tn Heb “the sole of your foot walks.” The placing of the foot symbolizes conquest and dominion, especially on land or on the necks of enemies (cf. Deut 1:36; Ps 7:13; Isa 63:3 Hab 3:19; Zech 9:13). See E. H. Merrill, NIDOTTE 1:992.
