But the land, where you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water from the rain of heaven:
All Commentaries on Deuteronomy 11:11 Go To Deuteronomy 11
Jerome
AD 420
All this Abraham undergoes that he may dwell in a land of promise watered from above, and not like Egypt, from below, no producer of herbs for the weak and ailing but a land that looks for the early and the latter rain from heaven. It is a land of hills and valleys and stands high above the sea. The attractions of the world it entirely lacks, but its spiritual attractions are for this all the greater.
