The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 05: Deuteronomy: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Deuteronomy
33:19. They shall call the people to the mountain: there shall they
sacrifice the victims of justice. Who shall suck as milk the abundance
of the sea, and the hidden treasures of the sands.
33:20. And to Gad he said: Blessed be Gad in his breadth: he hath rested
as a lion, and hath seized upon the arm and the top of the head.
33:21. And he saw his pre-eminence, that in his portion the teacher was
laid up: who was with the princes of the people, and did the justices of
the Lord, and his judgment with Israel.
He saw, etc... The pre-eminence of the tribe of Gad, to which this
alludeth, was their having the lawgiver Moses buried in their borders;
though the particular place was not known.
33:22. To Dan also he said: Dan is a young lion, he shall flow
plentifully from Basan.
33:23. And To Nephtali he said: Nephtali shall enjoy abundance, and
shall be full of the blessings of the Lord: he shall possess the sea and
the south.
The sea... The lake of Genesareth.
33:24. To Aser also he said: Let Aser be blessed with children, let him
be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
33:25. His shoe shall be iron and brass. As the days of thy youth, so
also shall thy old age be.
33:26. There is no other god like the God of the rightest: he that is
mounted upon the heaven is thy helper. By his magnificence the clouds
run hither and thither.
33:27. His dwelling is above, and underneath are the everlasting arms:
he shall cast out the enemy from before thee, and shall say: Be thou
brought to nought.
Underneath are the everlasting arms... Though the dwelling of God be
above in heaven, his arms are always stretched out to help us here
below.
33:28. Israel shall dwell in safety, and alone. The eye of Jacob in a
land of corn and wine, and the heavens shall be misty with dew.
33:29. Blessed art thou, Israel: who is like to thee, O people, that art
saved by the Lord? the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy glory:
thy enemies shall deny thee, and thou shalt tread upon their necks.
Deuteronomy Chapter 34
Moses seeth the promised land, but is not suffered to go into it. He
dieth at the age of 120 years. God burieth his body secretly, and all
Israel mourn for him thirty days. Josue, replenished (by imposition of
Moses's hands) with the spirit of God, succeedeth. But Moses, for his
special familiarity with God, and for most wonderful miracles, is
commended above all other prophets.
34:1. Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab upon mount Nebo, to the
top of Phasga over against Jericho: and the Lord shewed him all the land
of Galaad as far as Dan.
34:2. And all Nephtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasses, and all
the land of Juda unto the furthermost sea,
34:3. And the south part, and the breadth of the plain of Jericho the
city of palm trees as far as Segor.
