God sends him up to mount Nebo to see the land, and to die For a fire has been kindled by My anger The imagery of fire in the Bible often symbolizes God's judgment and purification. The Hebrew word for "fire" is "esh," which conveys both destruction and the potential for renewal. In this context, it represents God's righteous anger against sin and idolatry. The phrase "kindled by My anger" suggests a divine initiation, emphasizing that this is not a random occurrence but a deliberate act of God. Historically, fire was a common method of purifying and cleansing, and here it serves as a metaphor for God's purifying judgment upon Israel for their disobedience. and it burns to the depths of Sheol devouring the earth and its produce and scorching the foundations of the mountains The foundations of the mountains.--Rashi says, "Jerusalem, which is founded on the mountains," as it is said, "Jerusalem, the mountains are about her" (Psalm 125:2). Verse 22. - (Cf. Jeremiah 15:14; Jeremiah 17:4; Lamentations 4:11.) The lowest hell; the lowest sheol, the uttermost depth of the under-world. The Hebrew sheol (שְׁאול) answering to the Greek ἅδης, by which it is usually rendered by the LXX., is a general designation of the unseen state, the place of the dead. By some the word is derived from שָׁאַל, to ask, because sheol is ever asking, is insatiable (Proverbs 30:16); but more probably it is from a root signifying to excavate, to hollow, and, like the German holle, means primarily a hollow place or cavern. The Divine wrath kindles a consuming fire, that burns down to the lowest depths - to the deepest part of sheol - consumes the earth's produce, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains. This does not refer to any particular judgment that was to befall the national Israel, but is a general description of the effects of the Divine wrath when that is poured forth in judgments on men.Parallel Commentaries ...
