Context — Moses' Warning to Israelgenerated

1Hear, O Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.
2The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them, and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?”
3But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
4When the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say in your heart, “Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land.” Rather, the LORD is driving out these nations before you because of their wickedness.

Deuteronomy 9:2 is part of a larger discourse where Moses reminds the Israelites of the challenges they will face as they enter the land of Canaan. He emphasizes the strength of the Anakites, a formidable group that they must confront. This warning serves to prepare the Israelites for the battles ahead, reinforcing their reliance on God for victory.

The Key Word עַם, 'am-generated

The Hebrew word עַם ('am) means 'people' or 'nation,' referring to a collective group, often in the context of tribes such as those of Israel. It can denote kinsmen or compatriots, and is frequently used to describe the people of God. This word highlights the communal identity of the Israelites as they prepare to face their enemies.

In this verse, עַם emphasizes the collective strength of the Anakites, indicating that they are not just individuals but a powerful group that poses a significant threat to the Israelites.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main clause of the sentence is governed by the verb יָדַ֨עְתָּ֙, you know, with several phrases providing additional information: a noun phrase describing the subject, an adjective phrase characterizing the people, and a relative clause introducing the Anakites. The structure emphasizes the knowledge of the Israelites about their enemies.

The sentence flows from a description of the Anakites to a rhetorical question about who can stand against them, highlighting the perceived threat they pose.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates עַם as λαὸν (laon), meaning 'people,' which aligns with the collective identity presented in the Hebrew. This choice reflects the understanding of the Anakites as a unified group.

For עֲנָקִ֑ים, the Septuagint uses ενακ (enak), which indicates a direct translation of the term, maintaining the reference to the Anakites as a distinct group known for their size and strength.

pe'-p'-l: In English Versions of the Bible represents something over a dozen Hebrew and Greek words. Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
