Psalms 147:14

147:14 He ¹  brings peace to your territory. ² 

He abundantly provides for you ³  the best grain.

Deuteronomy 32:13-14

32:13 He enabled him ⁴  to travel over the high terrain of the land,

and he ate of the produce of the fields.

He provided honey for him from the cliffs, ⁵ 

and olive oil ⁶  from the hardest of ⁷  rocks, ⁸ 

32:14 butter from the herd

and milk from the flock,

along with the fat of lambs,

rams and goats of Bashan,

along with the best of the kernels of wheat;

and from the juice of grapes you drank wine.

Joel 2:24

2:24 The threshing floors are full of grain;

the vats overflow with fresh wine and olive oil.

[147:14]  ¹ tn Heb “the one who.”

[147:14]  ² tn Heb “he makes your boundary peace.”

[147:14]  ³ tn Heb “satisfies you with.”

[32:13]  ⁴ tn The form of the suffix on this verbal form indicates that the verb is a preterite, not an imperfect. As such it simply states the action factually. Note as well the preterites with vav (ו) consecutive that follow in the verse.

[32:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “he made him suck honey from the rock.”

[32:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “oil,” but this probably refers to olive oil; see note on the word “rock” at the end of this verse.

[32:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “flinty.”

[32:13]  ⁸ sn Olive oil from rock probably suggests olive trees growing on rocky ledges and yet doing so productively. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 415; cf. TEV “their olive trees flourished in stony ground.”
