The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

The results of the intercessory prayer of Moses. In these verses we have a very brief statement of the results of the pleading of Moses for Israel with God, which can only be duly appreciated when set side by side with the fuller account in Exodus 33:1-23 ; Exodus 34:1-35 . It is clear, even from the few words here given us, that the Lord's wrath was turned away, that the covenant and the covenant promise were again renewed. But we must at least indicate the points of detail ere we can... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-12

Tokens of mercy. Various pledges of his forgiveness were given by God to the people. I. THE RENEWAL OF THE TABLES . ( Deuteronomy 10:1-5 .) 1. Reconciliation to God is only possible through return to obedience . God cannot but require that we accept his commands, and make them the rule of our life ( Matthew 5:19 , Matthew 5:20 ; Romans 6:13-23 ). Such return to obedience is involved in gospel faith ( Romans 7:4 ). "Repent ye" ( Mark 1:15 ). 2. The Law... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

These verses are closely connected with the preceding chapter, and state very briefly the results of the intercession of Moses recorded in Deuteronomy 9:25-29. The people are reminded that all their blessings and privileges, forfeited by apostasy as soon as bestowed, were only now their own by a new and most unmerited act of grace on the part of God, won from Him by the self-sacrificing mediation of Moses himself Deuteronomy 10:10.Deuteronomy 10:1-5. The order for making the ark and tabernacle... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 10:2

Deuteronomy 10:2. I will write on the tables Though the tables were broken because they broke his commandment and made themselves a graven image, they were now renewed in proof that his wrath was turned away. And thus God’s writing his law in our inward parts is the surest proof of our reconciliation to him, Jeremiah 31:33-34. Reader, has God written it on thine? Remember, He that loveth not, knoweth not God, and is not in a state of reconciliation with him, 1 John 4:8. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 10:3

Deuteronomy 10:3. I made an ark Some of the Jewish doctors conclude from this text that there were two arks, one made by Bezaleel, and this one by Moses, which they fancy was the ark that went before them in their marches and battles. But this notion is confuted by many other passages. All that Moses means by saying, I made an ark, is, that he ordered one to be made, just as the expression, Solomon built the temple, only means that he provided for the building of it, and caused it to be... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

Warning against stubbornness (9:1-10:11)Moses warned the Israelites not to boast about their coming victories. The conquest of Canaan was by God’s power, not theirs. It was because of the wickedness of the Canaanites, not because of any goodness in the Israelites (9:1-5).Israel, in fact, was a stubborn people, who deserved none of God’s good gifts. Moses reminded them of their rebellion at Sinai, how they promised to obey God’s law, but broke it before it was even written down (6-21; see notes... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1

This chapter reports the results of Moses' intercession, the renewal of the sacred covenant, and further instructions and persuasions to obedience."At that time Jehovah said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto... read more
