Deuteronomy 32:1-3

Invocation of Witnesses

32:1 Listen, O heavens, and I will speak;

hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

32:2 My teaching will drop like the rain,

my sayings will drip like the dew, ¹ 

as rain drops upon the grass,

and showers upon new growth.

32:3 For I will proclaim the name ²  of the Lord;

you must acknowledge the greatness of our God.

[32:2]  ¹ tn Or “mist,” “light drizzle.” In some contexts the term appears to refer to light rain, rather than dew.

[32:3]  ¹ tc Smr and Tg read “in the name.”
