弥迦书 6:5 RCUVSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 6:5

Micah 6:5. O my people, remember, &c. Call to remembrance what Balaam said in answer to Balak, when he consulted him, namely, that there was no enchantment against Jacob, &c., nothing that could be done against them, nothing that could overthrow them but their own sins; that they were blessed, and it could not be reversed by any thing but their own forsaking God and his service, under whose particular protection they were. From Shittim unto Gilgal From the encampment at Shittim,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 6:1-16

6:1-7:20 GOD ACCUSES AND THE PEOPLE REPLYWhat God desires (6:1-16)Returning to conditions in his own time, Micah pictures a courtroom where, with the heavens and earth as witnesses, God accuses his people of unfaithfulness (6:1-2). God recalls the great things he has done for them, as if asking why they treat him so badly in return (3-5).The people’s reply shows their misunderstanding. They ask what sort of worship God wants. Does he want sacrifices that are exact according to the letter of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 6:5

"O my people, remember now what Balak, king of Moab, devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him; remember from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of Jehovah."It appears that most of the commentators have missed the point here, Deane, for example, stressing that, "An these instances of God's interposition prove how faithful he is to his promises."[9] However, what the children of Israel were commanded to remember here was not merely God's blessing which had... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Micah 6:5

Micah 6:5. From Shittim unto Gilgal— From Shittim even unto the mountainous places, whither Balak carried Balaam, that he might thence curse the people of Israel. The original word is הגלגל hagilgal, the root whereof is גל gal, a heap, or high place. See Genesis 46:34; Genesis 46:34. Balak was beyond Jordan, at its eastern bank, where we do not read of there having been any such place as Gilgal; for the Gilgal where the ark continued for some time was situated on this side Jordan. Instead of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Micah 6:5

5. what Balak . . . consulted—how Balak plotted to destroy thee by getting Balaam to curse thee ( :-). what Balaam . . . answered—how the avaricious prophet was constrained against his own will, to bless Israel whom he had desired to curse for the sake of Balak's reward ( :-) [MAURER]. GROTIUS explains it, "how Balaam answered, that the only way to injure thee was by tempting thee to idolatry and whoredom" ( :-). The mention of "Shittim" agrees with this: as it was the scene of Israel's sin... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 6:5

Yahweh charged the Israelites to remember that Balak, king of Moab, wanted God to curse His people, but Balaam revealed that God would never do that (Numbers 22-24). God’s intentions for His people had consistently been good. The events of their crossing the Jordan River and entering the Promised Land showed the same thing. Shittim was the Israelites’ last camping place before they crossed the Jordan, and Gilgal was where they camped first after crossing (Joshua 3:1; Joshua 4:18-19). God had... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:1-16

God’s Arraignment of His people1-8. Micah’s message to the discouraged believers. They have lost heart because of the apparent contradiction between the promises of their prophets and the hard facts of their history. They have lost faith in God’s grace, and are trying to propitiate His favour by such sacrifices as the heathen offered to their gods. Micah appeals to nature, to history, and to the reasonable service God requires. He calls on the hills to witness what God has done (Micah 6:1-2).... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:1-20

God’s Great Controversy with IsraelNote the change in the prophet’s attitude. He speaks no longer to a united nation, but to parties. Now he speaks to a party, pious but discouraged (Micah 6:1-8); again, he testifies against men who have turned their backs on the Law (Micah 6:9-16). Persecution for religion’s sake has appeared, and taught men to distrust each other (Micah 7:2-6) Probably the chapters date from the time of Manasseh. Sennacherib recoiled baffled from Jerusalem, but Assyria was... read more
