Deuteronomio 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 ) .

Deuteronomio 34:3 In-Context

1 POI Mosè salì dalle campagne di Moab, al monte di Nebo, alla sommità di Pisga, che è dirincontro a Gerico. E il Signore gli fece vedere tutto il paese, Galaad, fino a Dan;
2 e tutto Neftali, e il paese di Efraim, e di Manasse, e tutto il paese di Giuda, fino al mare Occidentale;
3 e la contrada Meridionale, e la pianura, e la valle di Gerico, cittĂ  delle palme, fino a Soar.
4 E il Signore gli disse: Quest’è il paese del quale io giurai ad Abrahamo, a Isacco, e a Giacobbe, dicendo: Io lo darò alla tua progenie; io te l’ho fatto veder con gli occhi, ma tu non vi entrerai.
5 E Mosè, servitor del Signore, morì quivi, nel paese di Moab, secondo che il Signore avea detto.
