Explanation of Deuteronomy 33:11
Napsal(a) Alexander Payne
Verse 11. Bless, O Lord, the things already acquired in the soul by means of this principle, and accept its endeavours after higher virtue: smite down all those evils which would prevent the union of good and, truth in the soul, and oppose themselves to these holy aspirations after good from Thyself, that they no more oppress the spiritual life.
Genesis 26:18-22
18
Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19
Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20
The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
22
He left that place, and dug another well. They didn't argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
