Overview
Deuteronomy 1 . 1 , Moses’ speech in the end of the fortieth year; Deuteronomy 1 . 6 , briefly rehearsing the history of God’s sending them from Horeb; Deuteronomy 1 . 14 , of giving them officers; Deuteronomy 1 . 19 , of sending the spies to search the land; Deuteronomy 1 . 34 , of his anger for their incredulity; Deuteronomy 1 . 41 , and disobedience.

Red Sea . or , Zuph , Or rather , Suph , This could not have been the Red Sea , not only because the word yam , "sea ," is not joined with it as usual , but because they were now east of Jordan , and farther from the Red Sea than ever. It seems to be the same which is called Suphah in Numbers 21 . 14 , which must necessarily signify some place in or adjoining to the plains of Moab , and not far from the Jordan and Arnon. Ptolemy mentions a people called Sophonites that dwelt in Arabia Petrea , who may have taken their name from this place.
Paran . Paran , Tophel , Laban , Hazeroth , and Dizahab , seem to have been either places or cities not far from the plains of Moab; for it is evident that Paran and Hazeroth could not have been those near the Red sea , and not far from Horeb.

ye are this day . This was the promise made by God to Abraham . Genesis 15 . 5 , Genesis 15 . 6 , which Moses considers now as amply fulfilled. Many suppose the expression to be hyperbolical; and others , no friends to revelation , think it a vain , empty boast , because the stars , in their apprehension , amount to innumerable millions. But , as this refers to the number of stars that appear to the naked eye , which only amount to about 3 ,010 in both hemispheres , the number of the Israelites far exceeded this; for independently of women and children , at the last census , they amounted to more than 600 ,000.

walled . That is , with very high walls , which could not be easily scaled. Harmer says , high walls are still to be seen in Arabia , and are deemed a sufficient defence against the Arabs , who scarcely ever attempt to plunder except on horseback. The monastery on Mount Sinai , and the convent of St. Anthony in Egypt , are surrounded with a very high wall , without gates; the persons and things being taken up and let down through an opening in the upper part , by means of a pulley and a basket. This kind of walling is a sufficient defence.

chased you . When bees are provoked or disturbed , the whole swarm attack and pursue whatever annoys them , with great courage and fury , and sometimes are a most formidable enemy. They were so troublesome in some districts of Crete , that , according to Pliny , the inhabitants were actually compelled to forsake their homes. Alian reports , that some places in Scythia were formerly inaccessible on account of the numerous swarms of bees with which they were infested. Mr. Park relates , that some of his associates imprudently attempted to rob a numerous hive which they found in their way. The exasperated little animals rushed out to defend their property , and attacked them with so much fury , that they quickly compelled the whole company of men , horses , and asses , to scamper off in all directions. The horses were never recovered , and a number of the asses were so severely stung , that they died the next day. Deuteronomy 28 . 25 , Deuteronomy 32 . 30 , Psalm 118 . 12 , Isaiah 7 . 18
