Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 25:17-18

Deuteronomy 25:17-18. Out of Egypt Which circumstance greatly aggravated their sin, that they should do thus to a people who had been long exercised with sore afflictions, to whom pity was due by the laws of nature and humanity, and for whose rescue God had in so glorious a manner appeared, which they could not be ignorant of. And he feared not God Though they feared Israel, whom they durst not look in the face, but cut them off behind, yet they feared not God, but acted a base and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 25:5-19

Family and business relationships (25:5-19)If a man died having no son, his brother was to have a temporary marital relation with the widow for the purpose of helping her produce a son. Legally, this son would be considered son of the dead man and so would receive his inheritance and carry on his name. If the brother refused to cooperate, he was to be publicly disgraced for allowing the dead man’s name to die out (5-10). (If, however, there were surviving daughters, they could receive the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 25:17-19

Desire for peace at any price 25:17-19When the Israelites had entered the Promised Land and had attained a measure of rest there, they were to remember that God had commanded them to exterminate the Amalekites. They were to do this because of the Amalekites’ treatment of Israel in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 25:17-19; cf. Exodus 17:8-16; Numbers 24:20; 1 Chronicles 4:42-43)."Particular importance is attached to the fate of the Amalekites in the Pentateuch, especially as a sign of God’s... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 25:1-19

Ordinances regarding the Infliction of Stripes, the Baising of Seed to a Brother, Modesty, and Fair Dealing3. And not exceed] In order to keep within the limit it was usual to inflict thirty-nine stripes: see 2 Corinthians 11:24. The milder beating was with a rod. A severer form of this punishment was scourging, inflicted with a whip of thongs into which pieces of iron were inserted. In the time of our Lord beating was inflicted in the synagogue upon ecclesiastical offenders: see on Matthew... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 25:17-19

Deuteronomy 25:17-19. AMALEK TO BE EXTERMINATED.At the end of all the precepts of humanity, the extermination of that people which is presented to us as the incarnation of inhumanity is decreed.(18) He . . . smote the hindmost . . .—These details are not given in Exodus 17:0. Amalek’s attack follows the appearance of the stream of water from Horeb. There was nothing more natural than that the faint and weary should stay behind at the water side. There the Amalekites appear to have found them... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 25:1-19

JUSTICE TEMPERED WITH MERCY (vs.1-3) In the law courts the judges must mete out proper justice, yet not to exceed the limits of justice. If one was guilty of serious crime, it was right to have him beaten, lying down. But never was he to receive more than forty strokes. Paul writes in2 Corinthians 11:24; 2 Corinthians 11:24, "From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one." The Jews at least respected this particular law, for they lessened the number to 39 in case they had... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 25:1-19

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 25:17-19

This short account of Amalek, and the punishment of that people, comes in very properly upon the close of the foregoing precepts; for it was both a just weight and just measure, that Israel should requite Amalek, for his conduct towards them on their first coming out of Egypt. Exodus 17:14-16 . It is worthy remark, how Saul offended the LORD, at least four hundred years after this appointment, in not fully following up the precept: see 1 Samuel 15:2-9 . But, I would have the Reader look a... read more
