Deuteronomy 31:17

None of the clauses in this v. is characteristic of Deut. My anger shall be kindled againstit, JE, Numbers 11:10; for in that day, as Dillm. points out, Deut. has elsewhere at that time; I will forsake them, contrast Deuteronomy 31:6; Deuteronomy 31:8, Deuteronomy 4:31; hide my face from them, in Pent. only here and Deuteronomy 31:18; it shall be devoured, cp. Deuteronomy 7:16; come upon me because my God is not in my midst, Deuteronomy 1:42. Note that in Deuteronomy 31:16; Deuteronomy 31:20Israel is referred to in the Sg. Yet Sam. and LXX have many plurals here.
