Commentary
Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:3
Theological / DevotionalSouth. The Negeb (see on Genesis 12:9; 13:1).
The plain. All the Jordan valley; in particular, the extremely beautiful plain of Jericho, through which the Jordan flows (see on Genesis 13:10). The word here translated “plain,” literally, “round” or “oval,” refers to the circular basin of the Jordan, particularly to that portion of it where the Jordan enters the Dead Sea. This same word is used of a round loaf of bread (see Exodus 29:23; Judges 8:5; 1 Samuel 10:3; 1 Chronicles 16:3).
City of palm trees. The countryside adjacent to the city of Jericho has always been famous for its palms and its tropical climate (see Judges 1:16; 3:13; 2 Chronicles 28:15). It made an ideal winter resort.
Zoar. Probably at the south end of the Dead Sea (see on Genesis 14:3, 10; 19:22, 24).
