Deuteronomy 11
1 An exhortation to obedience;2 by their own experience of God's great works;8 by promise of God's great blessings;16 and by threatenings.18 A careful study is required in God's words.26 The blessing and curse set before them. thou shalt.This verse is the practical improvement of the conclusion of the foregoing chapter; while the next verse begins another view of the subject. 6:5; 10:12; 30:16-20; Ps 116:1keep.Le 8:35; Zec 3:7his statutes.4:1,5,40; 6:1; Ps 105:45; Lu 1:74,75 And know.Moses seems here to have addressed himself particularly to the elders, who had in their youth witnessed the wonderful works which Jehovah had wrought both for them and among them; and who were bound to remember them for their own warning, and testify them to the rising generation who had not been eye-witnesses. 8:19; 29:10; Pr 22:19; Ac 26:22the chastisement.8:2-5his greatness.5:24; 9:26his mighty.7:19 4:34; 7:19; Ps 78:12,13; 105:27-45; 135:9; Jer 32:20,21 how he made.Ex 14:23-31; 15:4,9,10,19; Ps 106:11; Heb 11:29 Ps 77:20; 78:14-72; 105:39-41; 106:12-48 he did unto.Nu 16:1,31-33; 26:9,10; 27:3; Ps 106:17substance, or, living substance which followed them. intheir possession.

In order to water the grounds where the inundations do not extend, water is collected in ponds, and directed in streamlets to the different parts of the field where irrigation is necessary. It is no unusual thing in the East to see a man, with a small mattock, making a little trench for the water to run into; and, as he opens the passage, the water following, he uses his foot to raise up the mould against the side of this little channel, to prevent the water from being shed unnecessarily, before it reaches the place of its destination. Hence he may justly be said to water the ground with his foot. Zec 14:18 8:7-9; Ge 27:28; Ps 65:12,13; 104:10-13; Isa 28:1; Jer 2:7; Heb 6:7 careth for.

They are separated by the beautiful valley in which Shechem or Nablous is situated, which is only about 200 paces in width. Both mountains are much alike in length, height, and figure; being about a league in length, in the form of a semicircle, and so steep, on the side of Shechem, that there is scarcely any shelving: their altitude appeared to Mr. Buckingham nearly equal, not exceeding 700 or 800 feet from the level of the valley, which is itself elevated. But though they resemble each other in these particulars, yet in another they are very dissimilar; for, says Maundrell, "though neither of the mountains has much to boast of as to its pleasantness, yet, as one passes between them, Gerizim seems to discover a somewhat more verdant, fruitful aspect then Ebal: the reason of which may be, because fronting towards the north, it is sheltered from the heat of the sun by its own shade; whereas Ebal, looking southward, and receiving the sun that comes directly upon it, must by consequence be rendered more scorched and unfruitful."
