Deuteronomy 28:43

28:43 The foreigners ¹  who reside among you will become higher and higher over you and you will become lower and lower.

Deuteronomy 33:28

33:28 Israel lives in safety,

the fountain of Jacob is quite secure, ² 

in a land of grain and new wine;

indeed, its heavens ³  rain down dew. ⁴ 

[28:43]  ¹ tn Heb “the foreigner.” This is a collective singular and has therefore been translated as plural; this includes the pronouns in the following verse, which are also singular in the Hebrew text.

[33:28]  ² tn Heb “all alone.” The idea is that such vital resources as water will some day no longer need protection because God will provide security.

[33:28]  ³ tn Or “skies.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[33:28]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “drizzle, showers.” See note at Deut 32:2.
