- Vulgate (Clementine)
- iratusque Dominus claudat cælum, et pluviæ non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὀργῇ Κύριος ἐφ᾽ ὑμῖν καὶ συνσχῇ τὸν οὐρανόν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ὑετὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ οὐ δώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐν τάχει ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τῆς ἀγαθῆς ἧς ἔδωκεν ὁ κύριος ὑμῖν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְחָרָ֨ה אַף יְהוָ֜ה בָּכֶ֗ם וְעָצַ֤ר אֶת הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם֙ וְלֹֽא יִהְיֶ֣ה מָטָ֔ר וְהָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה לֹ֥א תִתֵּ֖ן אֶת יְבוּלָ֑הּ וַאֲבַדְתֶּ֣ם מְהֵרָ֗ה מֵעַל֙ הָאָ֣רֶץ הַטֹּבָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה נֹתֵ֥ן לָכֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
You. In all this discourse, Moses attributes the fertility of the promised land to the blessing of God, and indeed it seems to be naturally far from being so luxuriant as to be able to feed so many inhabitants. Travellers inform us, that a great part is incapable of cultivation. But it is no longer the object of God's complacency, ver. 12. It is under the curse, chap. xxviii. 23. (Calmet)
