Commentary on Deuteronomy 32:25

Theological / Devotional

Burnt with hunger. Literally, “the wastings of hunger.” The verb root means “to suck out,” and the adjective, as here, means “sucked out” or “empty” from hunger.

Burning heat. Literally, “the firebolt.” Compare the following verses having the same Hebrew word: Ps. 78:48, “hot thunderbolts”; S. of Sol. 8:6, “coals”; Hab. 3:5, “burning coals”; Ps. 76:3, “arrows.”

Serpents. Or, “creeping things.” The word here translated “serpents” is from the root “to crawl,” “to creep.” In Micah 7:17 the same word is translated “worms.”
