Deuteronomy 8:3
简体中文
bản gốc tiếng anh
But by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord - literally, "every outgoing of the mouth of the Lord." Compare Deuteronomy 29:5-6. The term "word" is inserted by the King James Version after the Septuagint, which is followed by Matthew and Luke (see the marginal references). On the means of subsistence available to the people during the wandering, see Numbers 20:1 note. The lesson was taught, that it is not nature which nourishes man, but God the Creator by and through nature: and generally that God is not tied to the particular channels ("bread only," i. e. the ordinary means of earthly sustenance) through which He is usually pleased to work.

Deuteronomy 8:4
简体中文
看来他们在那四十年之初拥有充足的衣服（参较 Exodus 12:34-35）；而且在这些年间，他们拥有许多羊群牛群，因此制作衣服的材料想必常有可用。无疑地，他们也拿这些物品如同其他商品一样，与摩押人和旷野的游牧部落交易。这些寻常的供应不可被排除在考虑之外，即便它们偶有神特殊护理的补足——他们的食物无疑正是这种情形。
bản gốc tiếng anh
They had clothes, it would seem, in abundance (compare Exodus 12:34-35) at the beginning of the 40 years; and during those years they had many sheep and oxen, and so must have had much material for clothing always at command. No doubt also they carried on a traffic in these, as in other commodities, with the Moabites and the nomadic tribes of the desert. Such ordinary supplies must not be shut out of consideration, even if they were on occasions supplemented by extraordinary providences of God, as was undoubtedly the case with their food.

Deuteronomy 8:7
简体中文
参见 Exodus 3:8 注释，以及 Deuteronomy 11:10-11 所表达的对巴勒斯坦与埃及的对比。
在摩西说话的时候，巴勒斯坦这样一个国家的地理特征与优势，对以色列人来说必定相当陌生：参较 Deuteronomy 3:25 注释。若在更早的时期称赞应许之地的肥沃与卓越，只会加剧百姓因滞留旷野而生的抱怨和不耐；而如今，这却鼓励他们更甘心乐意地面对将要从迦南居民那里遇到的抗拒。
bản gốc tiếng anh
See Exodus 3:8 note, and the contrast expressed in Deuteronomy 11:10-11, between Palestine and Egypt.
The physical characteristics and advantages of a country like Palestine must have been quite strange to Israel at the time Moses was speaking: compare Deuteronomy 3:25 note. To have praised the fertility and excellence of the promised land at an earlier period would have increased the murmurings and impatience of the people at being detained in the wilderness: whereas now it encouraged them to encounter with more cheerfulness the opposition that they would meet from the inhabitants of Canaan.

Deuteronomy 8:8
简体中文
葡萄树 - 叙利亚和巴勒斯坦盛产葡萄酒这一事实，在图特摩斯三世（Thotmosis III）征战记的埃及记载中有详细记述。埃及本土只出产少量酒。后来巴勒斯坦的葡萄酒生产逐渐停止了（约在1880年代）。
bản gốc tiếng anh
Vines - The abundance of wine in Syria and Palestine is dwelt upon in the Egyptian records of the campaigns of Thotmosis III. Only a little wine is produced in Egypt itself. The production of wine has in later times gradually ceased in Palestine (circa 1880's).

Deuteronomy 8:9
简体中文
英译作 brass 之处应读作“铜”（Genesis 4:22 注释）；并参较 Job 28:1-11 对采矿作业的描述。采矿看来并未在犹太人中广泛进行，尽管被他们取代的迦南各民族确实从事采矿。近代旅行者在黎巴嫩和那地的许多地区发现了炼铁与炼铜的遗迹；例如亚珥歌伯（Argob）地区（见 Deuteronomy 3:4 注释）就蕴藏着大量铁矿石。
bản gốc tiếng anh
For brass read copper (Genesis 4:22 note); and compare the description of mining operations in Job 28:1-11. Mining does not seem to have been extensively carried on by the Jews, though it certainly was by the Canaanite peoples displaced by them. Traces of iron and copper works have been discovered by modern travelers in Lebanon and many parts of the country; e. g., the district of Argob (see Deuteronomy 3:4 notes) contains iron-stone in abundance.

Deuteronomy 8:15
简体中文
应译作：“那领你经过大而可怕的旷野——就是火蛇、蝎子、并干旱无水之地——的一位。”关于火蛇，见 Numbers 21:6 注释。
bản gốc tiếng anh
Render: "Who brought thee through that great and terrible wilderness, the fiery serpent and the scorpion, and the dry land where are no waters." On the fiery serpents see Numbers 21:6 note.

Deuteronomy 8:16
简体中文
叫你终久享福 - 这是作为神一切对待的结果而提出的。
bản gốc tiếng anh
To do thee good at thy latter end - This is presented as the result of God's dealings.
乃是靠耶和华口里所出的一切话 - 字面意思是“耶和华口里所出的一切”。参较 Deuteronomy 29:5-6。“话”一词是英王钦定本依照七十士译本而插入的，马太福音与路加福音的引文也随从七十士译本（见边注参考）。关于百姓在旷野漂流期间可用的生计手段，见 Numbers 20:1 注释。这里所教导的功课是：滋养人的并不是自然，而是那位藉着自然、并在自然之中工作的创造主神；更概括地说，神并不受限于祂通常乐意藉以作工的特定途径（“单靠食物”，即地上养生的寻常手段）。
