Context of Deuteronomy 32:14
12The Lord alone was a guide for his people. He needed no foreign god to help him. 13The Lord helped them to travel over the high places in the land. He fed them with food from the fields. He made them strong with honey from the rocks. He gave them olive oil from trees in ground with many stones. Their cows and their goats gave them plenty of milk and butter. Their lambs, sheep and goats became fat, so they ate the best meat. They ate the best bread from their wheat. They drank the best wine from their grapes. 15The Israelites became rich and fat. They turned against God. They were full of good food, but they turned away from God. He was the one who made them. He was the strong Rock who kept them safe. But they no longer respected him. 16They worshipped foreign gods. So the Lord became angry and jealous. They made idols which he hated.

Commentaries on Deuteronomy 32:14
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14Fat of kidneys of wheat - Almost every person knows that the kidney is enveloped in a coat of the purest fat in the body of the animal, for which several anatomical reasons might be given. As the kidney itself is to the abundantly surrounding fat, so is the germ of the grain to the lobes or farinaceous parts. The expression here may be considered as a very strong and peculiarly happy figure to point out the finest wheat, containing the healthiest and most…Read the comment

And by the preached gospel, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, He stirs up and prevails upon sinners to leave Satan's bondage. In ver. #(13-14), are emblems of the conquest believers have over their…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-1413-14.

"The high places" and "the fields" are specially applicable to the tablelands of Gilead as are the allusions to the herds and flocks, the honey of the wild bees which hive in the crevices of…Read the comment
