4QDeutc includes the Tetragrammaton in the phrase ybrqb yhl) hwhy Ny) yk l( )lh, “Did (it) not come
up because Yahweh my god is not in my midst?” The LXX supports this reading. 1169
The phrase in 4QDeutc is restored: wnmm ynp ryts) rtsh ykn)w, “and I will certainly hide my face from
them.” The MT lacks the preposition plus the 3mpl dative pronominal suffix wnmm, in agreement with all of
the other witnesses. 1170
The form in 4QDeutc is best read as a short form of the adverbial particle ht(, “now, henceforth” (see
HALOT 1171 , 901), as reading the form as the noun t(, “time” does not fit the context.
1172 The phrase in 4QDeutc is restored on the basis of the LXX: hry#h yrbd, “the words of the song.”
The plural imperative agrees with the first imperative in the verse, wtbk, “write.” In the MT the first
imperative verb in the verse is plural but the second and third imperative verbs are both singular. On this
see the references in note above. 1173
The object marker is restored in 4QDeutd on the basis of the SP. See S.A. White, "Three Deuteronomy
Manuscripts," 31. 1174
The pronoun refers to t(h, “the time,” a feminine noun. The MT qere has the correct form of the pro-
noun.
