Deuteronomy 33:29 - Barnes' Notes

Deuteronomy 33:29

27 The eternal God is your ^arefuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
^bHe will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, ‘Destroy!’

28 Then ^aIsrael shall dwell in safety,
^bThe fountain of Jacob ^calone,
In a land of grain and new wine;
His ^dheavens shall also drop dew.

29 ^aHappy are you, O Israel!
^bWho is like you, a people saved by the Lord,
^cThe shield of your help
And the sword of your majesty!
Your enemies ^dshall submit to you,
And ^eyou shall tread down their high places.”

Deuteronomy 33:29

Be found liars unto thee - Perhaps rather, "cringe before thee." The verb means to show a feigned or forced obedience: see the marginal references.

Tread upon their high places - i. e., occupy the commanding positions in their land, and so have it in subjection.
