Footnote

“These are the words (things).” Heb., ʼElʹleh had·deva·rimʹ. In Heb. this fifth book of Moses is named after these opening words. LXXVg name this book “Deuteronomy” (Gr., Deu·te·ro·noʹmi·on, meaning “Second Law,” that is, an explanation of the Law [see vs 5]; Lat., Deu·te·ro·noʹmi·um). Compare 17:18 ftn.
