God sends him up to mount Nebo to see the land, and to die But Jeshurun The term "Jeshurun" is a poetic name for Israel, derived from the Hebrew root "yashar," meaning "upright" or "straight." It is used here to denote Israel in an idealized form, emphasizing their calling to be a righteous and upright nation.

The use of "Jeshurun" here is ironic, highlighting the contrast between their intended uprightness and their actual behavior. grew fat and kicked you grew fat, thick, and sleek He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation Kicked.--Only in 1Samuel 2:29 : "Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and mine offering . . . to make yourselves fat?"

Verses 15-18. - Israel's ungrateful return for the Lord's benefits. Verse 15. - Jeshurun. This name, formed from יָשַׂר, righteous, designates Israel as chosen to be a righteous nation; and in the use of it here lies the keenest reproach of apostate Israel, as fallen into a state the opposite of that to which it was destined. "By using the name righteous in place of Israel, Moses ironically censures those who had swerved from rectitude; by recalling to memory with what dignity they had been endowed, he the more sharply rebukes the perfidy which was their crime" (Calvin). This name appears also in Deuteronomy 33:5, 26, and in Isaiah 44:2; but in these places without any implied censure. By some the word is regarded as a diminutive from יָשׂוּר, the same as יָשָׂר, in the sense of rectulus, justulus, "the good little people" (Gesenius); others as a diminutive from XXX, Israel, as a sort of term of endearment (Grotius). But the latter of these derivations is impossible; and as to the former, there lacks evidence of the termination un having a diminutive significance in Hebrew. Besides, neither here nor in Deuteronomy 33:5 would a term of endearment be suitable. Waxed fat, and kicked (cf. Deuteronomy 6:11; Deuteronomy 8:10; Deuteronomy 31:20).
