Context — The Cities of Refugegenerated

7This is why I am commanding you to set apart for yourselves three cities.
8And if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as He swore to your fathers, and gives you all the land He promised them,
9and if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you today, loving the LORD your God and walking in His ways at all times, then you are to add three more cities to these three.
10Thus innocent blood will not be shed in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that you will not be guilty of bloodshed.

Deuteronomy 19:8 is part of a section where Moses instructs the Israelites about setting apart cities of refuge. Here, God assures them that if they obey Him, He will expand their territory, fulfilling the promises made to their ancestors. This reflects God's ongoing commitment to His people and His faithfulness in keeping His promises, as seen throughout the Torah.

The Key Word יַרְחִ֞יב, yar.Chivgenerated

The verb רָחַב (rachab) means to enlarge or grow wide. In this verse, it indicates God's action of expanding the borders of the Israelites' territory, suggesting both a physical and metaphorical growth.

This verb is in the Hiphil stem, which emphasizes the causative action of God in enlarging their territory. The use of the imperfect tense indicates an ongoing or future action, highlighting God's promise to His people.


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 verb governing the sentence is יַרְחִ֞יב, he will enlarge, which is followed by a series of clauses that describe the conditions and promises associated with this enlargement. The sentence structure emphasizes God's action and the fulfillment of His promises.

The sentence begins with a conditional phrase introduced by וְאִם־, and if, establishing the context of God's promise based on the people's obedience. This structure highlights the relationship between God's promises and the actions of His people.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, יַרְחִ֞יב is rendered as ἐμπλατύνῃ, which suggests a similar meaning of expansion. This choice reflects the translators' understanding of God's promise to increase the territory of His people.

The use of a different Greek term indicates a slight interpretative shift, focusing on the act of making spacious, which aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may carry additional nuances in the Greek context.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which shows a close correspondence in the majority of words. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly by using גבולך (your boundary) instead of גְּבֻ֣לְךָ (your territory), suggesting a focus on the concept of boundary rather than territory. The Dead Sea Scrolls show partial restoration, indicating some loss of text but aligning with the Masoretic Text in key elements.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
