Deuteronomy 33:28-29

Context

33:28 Israel lives in safety,

the fountain of Jacob is quite secure, 1 

in a land of grain and new wine;

indeed, its heavens 2  rain down dew. 3 

33:29 You have joy, Israel! Who is like you?

You are a people delivered by the Lord,

your protective shield

and your exalted sword.

May your enemies cringe before you;

may you trample on their backs.

1 tn Heb “all alone.” The idea is that such vital resources as water will some day no longer need protection because God will provide security.

2 tn Or “skies.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

3 tn Or perhaps “drizzle, showers.” See note at Deut 32:2.
