Deuteronomy 1:28
drained <04549> [discouraged. Heb. melted.]
people <05971> [The people.]
defenses ..... as high <01219> [walled.]
That is, with very high walls, which could not be easily scaled. Harmer says, high walls are still to be seen in Arabia, and are deemed a sufficient defence against the Arabs, who scarcely ever attempt to plunder except on horseback. The monastery on Mount Sinai, and the convent of St. Anthony in Egypt, are surrounded with a very high wall, without gates; the persons and things being taken up and let down through an opening in the upper part, by means of a pulley and a basket. This kind of walling is a sufficient defence.
saw <07200> [we have seen.]
Deuteronomy 33:17
