John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

Laws regarding admittance to the Congregation, cleanliness in the Camp, Unchastity, Usury, and Vows1. Shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord] i.e. not merely as priests (see Leviticus 21:16-24) but as ordinary members of the nation of Israel, all of whom are ’holy unto the Lord.’ The reference in this v. is probably to the self-mutilation practised by the devotees of certain heathen gods, and alluded to by St. Paul in Galatians 5:12: cp. Deuteronomy 14:1. 2. A bastard is understood... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 23:9-14

Deuteronomy 23:9-14. PURITY OF THE CAMP.(9) When the host goeth forth against thine enemies . . . keep thee.—“Because Satan maketh his accusations in the hour of danger” (Rashi).(10) Uncleanness that chanceth him by night. As in Leviticus 15:16.(11) When the sun is down.—“No man is clean (after ceremonial uncleanness) except at the going down of the sun” (Rashi).(12) Without the camp.—It must not be forgotten that this is the camp of the army, not the whole encampment of Israel in the... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

LAWS OF KINDNESSWITH the commands we now have to consider, we leave altogether the region of strict law, and enter entirely upon that of aspiration and of feeling. Kindness, by its very nature, eludes the rude compulsion of law, properly so called. It ceases to be kindness when it loses spontaneity and freedom. Precept, therefore, not law, is the utmost that any lawgiver can give in respect to it; and this is precisely what we have in Deuteronomy, so far as it endeavors to incite men to... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

NECESSARY EXCLUSIONS (vs.1-8) A man who was emasculated in any way could not be recognized as one of Israel's congregation (v.1). Such mutilation deprives one of his proper masculinity. The Lord makes a clear distinction between men and women, and in the present day each has distinct functions in the assembly of God. So that the spiritual lesson for us is that we fully assume the responsibilities of our God-given place. Of course in the Church of God today one's physical deformities make no... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

MORE REGULATIONS PUBLIC PRIVILEGES (Deuteronomy 23:1-9 ) The privileges referred to here are doubtless honors in the state and perhaps, in the case of foreigners, incorporation with Israel by marriage. Eunuchs and bastards were denied these privileges (Deuteronomy 23:1-2 ), and also members of what Gentile nations (Deuteronomy 23:3 )? What caused the latter prohibition (Deuteronomy 23:4-6 )? Such passages as Nehemiah 13:1 ; Ruth 4:10 ; and 2 Kings 10:2 show that there were some exceptions... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:10-14

The precept becomes more particular. But it hath a reference to uncleanness of every kind. The sanctity of the camp evidently arose from the divine presence. The apostle makes a very beautiful observation upon it, when describing the absolute necessity of our LORD'S sanctifying the people, when he says, that he suffered without the gate. Hebrews 13:11-13 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 23:9-14

9-14 The camp of the Lord must have nothing offensive in it. If there must be this care taken to preserve the body clean, much more should we be careful to keep the mind pure. read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 23:9-14

Personal Cleanliness During Campaigns of War v. 9. When the host, the army of Israel as represented by its camp of soldiers, goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing, namely, from defilement and uncleanness of the body. v. 10. If there be among you any man that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, Leviticus 15:16, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp, go out and stay out; v. 11. but it shall... read more
