³ tn The form of the suffix on this verbal form indicates that the verb is a preterite, not an imperfect. As such it simply states the action factually. Note as well the preterites with vav (ו) consecutive that follow in the verse.

⁴ tn Heb “he made him suck honey from the rock.”

⁵ tn Heb “oil,” but this probably refers to olive oil; see note on the word “rock” at the end of this verse.

⁶ tn Heb “flinty.”

⁷ sn Olive oil from rock probably suggests olive trees growing on rocky ledges and yet doing so productively. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 415; cf. TEV “their olive trees flourished in stony ground.”

⁸ tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

⁹ sn Abarim. This refers to the high plateau region of the Transjordan, the highest elevation of which is Mount Pisgah (or Nebo; cf. Deut 34:1). See also the note on the name “Pisgah” in Deut 3:17.
