Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

What God demands of Israel (10:12-11:32)In summary, Moses’ instruction to Israel as a people was that they were to fear, obey, love and serve God, in the assurance that he desired only their good (12-13). He had chosen them in mercy, and he wanted them likewise to show mercy to others. They were to have humble purity of heart and genuine love, both in their relations with him and in their relations with others (14-20). They were not to be arrogant or boastful, but were to remember their humble... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 11:1-12

In these verses Moses developed the requirement of love for God more fully. God’s acts toward Israel had been discipline (Deuteronomy 11:2), not just punishment.The force of the comparison of Egypt and Canaan in Deuteronomy 11:10-11 is that irrigation was necessary in Egypt. However in Canaan the people would not need it because God sent rain from heaven on Canaan. Most farmers would prefer the rich land of the Nile region to land that depended on rain that might or might not come. Perhaps... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

The consequences of obedience and disobedience ch. 11The section of Deuteronomy dealing with general stipulations of the covenant ends as it began, with an exhortation to covenant loyalty (Deuteronomy 5:1-5; cf. Deuteronomy 4:32-40)."This chapter is to be understood as a re-emphasis of these principles [that were to govern Israel’s life] before the detailed laws of the so-called Deuteronomic Code (Deuteronomy 12:1 to Deuteronomy 26:19) are presented."

ISRAEL’S ELECTION, AND MOTIVES FOR FAITHFULNESSDeuteronomy 9:1-29; Deuteronomy 10:1-22; Deuteronomy 11:1-32THE remaining chapters of this special introduction to the statement of the actual laws beginning with chapter 12 contain also an earnest insistence upon other motives why Israel should remain true to the covenant of Yahweh. They are urged to this, not only because life both spiritual and physical depended upon it, as was shown in the trials of the wilderness, but they are also to lay it... read more

Israel’s Responsibility, the Blessing and the Curse CHAPTER 11 1. Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God (Deuteronomy 11:1-9 ) 2. If ye hearken unto my commandments (Deuteronomy 11:10-21 ) 3. The blessing and the curse (Deuteronomy 11:22-32 ) The great characteristic teaching of this book, obedience springing from love to Jehovah, is still further developed in this chapter. It begins with a “therefore.” The last verse of the previous chapter shows that Jehovah had kept the promise... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

SOWING AND REAPING (vs.1-32) This chapter emphasizes the results of obedience in contrast to the consequences of disobedience. It begins with the commandment to love the Lord their God, which of course is the motivating power for keeping God's statutes (v.1). Yet, though told many times to love the Lord, Israel did not respond to this. For love cannot be legislated, as Israel learned by experience. It must be spontaneous and voluntary. The New Testament makes this clear, "We love Him because... read more

Who would cast them out, and in what manner is the supernatural character of the act emphasized? Nevertheless, what illustrates the divine use of means (Deuteronomy 7:2 )? What command is laid on the Israelites in the premises (Deuteronomy 7:2-3 )? And why (Deuteronomy 7:4 )? To what extent should their zeal be exhibited, and why... read more
