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 Moisés ascendió de las llanuras de Moab al monte Nebo, a la cima del monte Pisgá, frente a Jericó. Allí el SEÑOR le mostró todo el territorio que se extiende desde Galaad hasta Dan,
2 todo el territorio de Neftalí y de Efraín, Manasés y Judá, hasta el mar Mediterráneo.
3 Le mostró también la región del Néguev y la del valle de Jericó, la ciudad de palmeras, hasta Zoar.
4 Luego el SEÑOR le dijo: «Este es el territorio que juré a Abraham, Isaac y Jacob que daría a sus descendientes. Te he permitido verlo con tus propios ojos, pero no podrás entrar en él».
5 Allí en Moab murió Moisés, siervo del SEÑOR, tal como el SEÑOR se lo había dicho.
