VERSE 2 
 - And know.
  Moses seems here to have addressed himself particularly to the
  elders, who had in their youth witnessed the wonderful works
  which Jehovah had wrought both for them and among them; and
  who were bound to remember them for their own warning, and
  testify them to the rising generation who had not been
  eye-witnesses.

- a land.  See on

VERSE 10 
 - wateredst it with thy foot.
  Rain seldom falls in Egypt; the land being chiefly watered by
  the inundations of the Nile.  In order to water the grounds
  where the inundations do not extend, water is collected in
  ponds, and directed in streamlets to the different parts of
  the field where irrigation is necessary.  It is no unusual
  thing in the East to see a man, with a small mattock, making a
  little trench for the water to run into; and, as he opens the
  passage, the water following, he uses his foot to raise up the
  mould against the side of this little channel, to prevent the
  water from being shed unnecessarily, before it reaches the
  place of its destination.  Hence he may justly be said to
  water the ground with his foot.

VERSE 29 
 - put the blessing.
   * De 27:12-26 Jos 8:30-35
- Gerizim.
  Gerizim and Ebal, mountains west of Jordan, and in the tribe
  of Ephraim, are opposite, or parallel to each other, extending
  from east to west; mount Gerizim being on the south, and mount
  Ebal on the north.  They are separated by the beautiful valley
  in which Shechem or Nablous is situated, which is only about
  200 paces in width.  Both mountains are much alike in length,
  height, and figure; being about a league in length, in the
  form of a semicircle, and so steep, on the side of Shechem,
  that there is scarcely any shelving:  their altitude appeared
  to Mr. Buckingham nearly equal, not exceeding 700 or 800 feet
  from the level of the valley, which is itself elevated.  But
  though they resemble each other in these particulars, yet in
  another they are very dissimilar; for, says Maundrell, "though
  neither of the mountains has much to boast of as to its
  pleasantness, yet, as one passes between them, Gerizim seems
  to discover a somewhat more verdant, fruitful aspect then
  Ebal:  the reason of which may be, because fronting towards
  the north, it is sheltered from the heat of the sun by its own
  shade; whereas Ebal, looking southward, and receiving the sun
  that comes directly upon it, must by consequence be rendered
  more scorched and unfruitful."
