Key Reflection

This passage from Deuteronomy 33:28–29 speaks of God's unwavering presence as a source of safety and protection for the Israelites. The eternal God is portrayed not just as a refuge but also as an active defender, thrusting out enemies and ensuring their destruction to secure his people's safety.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine -The King James Version does not preserve the symmetry of the clauses. Render it: “Israel shall dwell in safety; alone shall the fountain of Jacob be” (comparePsalms 68:26;Isaiah 48:1); “in a land,” etc.
