Deuteronomium 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 ) .

Deuteronomium 34:3 In-Context

1 Toen ging Mozes op, uit de vlakke velden van Moab, naar den berg Nebo, op de hoogten van Pisga, welke recht tegenover Jericho is; en de HEERE wees hem dat ganse land, Gilead tot Dan toe;
2 En het ganse Nafthali, en het land van Efraim en Manasse, en het ganse land van Juda, tot aan de achterste zee;
3 En het Zuiden, en het effen veld der vallei van Jericho, de palmstad, tot Zoar toe.
4 En de HEERE zeide tot hem: Dit is het land, dat Ik Abraham, Izak en Jakob gezworen heb, zeggende: Aan uw zaad zal Ik het geven! Ik heb het u met uw ogen doen zien, maar gij zult daarheen niet overgaan.
5 Alzo stierf Mozes, de knecht des HEEREN, aldaar in het land van Moab, naar des HEEREN mond.
