Here is a series of images that include most of my translation notes. Feel free to copy what you want.
De22:5.1
De22:5.2
De22:5.3
De22:5.4
De22:5.5
I noticed that most of my notes and personal commentary are missing from these images. Earlier this year I lost both my computer data and all of my back up files - all on the same day! So, much of my"old work" is now missing. Guess I get to revisit the old stuf and get a new perspective on it!
While I can’t find my original work on this passage or my commentary (sorry), I hope this will be sufficient:
Instruction to women: Do not take up or array yourself with those implements of industry (labor or war) so as to perform those duties, tasks or responsibilities that God has assigned to men. Implied (according to the second portion of the passage): To be identified as a man – to deceive.
Instructions to men: Do not dress in the clothes of a female in order to pass as a woman. This includes the attempt to escape one’s God ordained duties, tasks and responsibilities by impersonating a woman, nor shall a man dress as a woman for sexual purposes. To be identified as a woman – to deceive.
Male apparel (implements and ornamentation) vs. female garments (clothes and coverings).
I can add a Jewish commentary plus some comments of my own, if requested. Other wise, I’ll let the scripture, the translations and these general notes suffice.
Enjoy.
Oh yes! For those who like to work in the original languages - please feel free to jump in and add your own comments, corrections, and/or suggestions.
