Resources
For the Hebrew text, use:
McCarthy, C. (2007) Biblia Hebraica Quinta, bd 5. Stuttgart, Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft.
For Norwegian translations of the entire text of Deuteronomy, use:
Det norske Bibelselskaps tranlsations from 1930/1978/1985 or 2011, or also the edited Bibelen - Den hellige skrift, Norsk Bibel, 1988.
For English translations, use:
The Revised Standard Version, the New Revised Standard version, or the New International version. DO NOT use the Kings James version, which contains obsolete English and whose translators were not aware of the full range of biblical syntax and grammar that is currently known.
As a lexicon/dictionary, use:
Koehler, L., W. Baumgartner, and J.J. Stamm, eds. (2001) The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament, trans. M.E.J. Richardson. Leiden, Brill.
For help with text-critical symbols, use:
Scott, W.R. (1995) A Simplified Guide to BHS. North Richland Hills, Texas: BIBAL.
For work with the thematic notes, a good place to begin is with the corresponding entry for the Hebrew term in The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, 15 volumes (1977-2006), translated from German originals. Grand Rapids, Eerdmans.
