Deuternomium 34:3 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 34:3

And the south
The southern part of the land, even all of it; and having shown him that, he is directed eastward to take a view of

the plain of the valley of Jericho;
which lay before him, a delightful plain; see ( Joshua 5:10 ) ;

the city of palm trees;
so Jericho was called, because of the multitude of palm trees which grew there, and which Josephus not only testifies {r}, who speaks of it as a plain planted with palm trees, and from whence balsam comes; but several Heathen writers: Pliny says F19 Jericho was set with palm trees; Diodorus Siculus F20 speaks of the country about Jericho as abounding with palm trees, and in a certain valley, meaning the vale or plains of Jericho, is produced that which is called balsam; so Strabo says F21, Jericho is a plain surrounded with mountains abounding with palm trees, where there is a plantation of palm trees, with other fruit trees, the space of a hundred furlongs:

unto Zoar;
near the salt sea; see ( Genesis 19:22 ) .

Deuternomium 34:3 In-Context

1 Und Mose stieg von den Ebenen Moabs auf den Berg Nebo, den Gipfel des Pisga, der Jericho gegenüber ist. Und Jehova ließ ihn das ganze Land sehen:
2 Das Gilead bis Dan, und das ganze Naphtali und das Land Ephraim und Manasse, und das ganze Land Juda bis zum hinteren Meere;
3 und den Süden und den Jordankreis, die Niederung von Jericho, der Palmenstadt, bis Zoar.
4 Und Jehova sprach zu ihm: Das ist das Land, welches ich Abraham, Isaak und Jakob zugeschworen habe, indem ich sprach: Deinem Samen will ich es geben. Ich habe es dich mit deinen Augen sehen lassen, aber du sollst nicht hinübergehen.
5 Und Mose, der Knecht Jehovas, starb daselbst im Lande Moab, nach dem Worte Jehovas.
