Deuteronomy 11:24

Cp. Joshua 1:8; Joshua 1:4. The wilderness is the wilderness of Judah in the S.; Lebanon is the northern boundary; the Euphrates is in the E.; and the uttermost sea (ht. 'the hinder sea') is the Mediterranean in the W. In describing the cardinal points the Hebrew stood with his face to the E. or sunrising. Hence in the Hebrew language 'in front' means the E., 'behind' means the W., as in this verse, while 'the right' is the S.: see on Exodus 23:31.

26-32. The Blessing and the Curse. See Deuteronomy 27 and notes there.
