John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Exhortations and WarningsIn this chapter the covenant is renewed and enforced with a reminder of God’s goodness and the consequences of disobedience.3. Temptations] i.e. provings or trials: see n Deuteronomy 7:19. 4. The people have not laid these things to heart. For the form of expression see on the ’hardening of Pharaoh’s heart’ (Exodus 4:21). 6. Not eaten bread] but manna. They have been entirely dependent on God, and His care in providing for them should teach them humility and obedience.... read more

The Secret and the Unrevealed Things Deuteronomy 29:29 There are some things respecting which we ought to be agnostics. They are the secret things which belong to God. There are other things concerning which we ought not to be agnostics. They are the revealed things which belong to us and to our children. I. The things which concern us, which touch our life, lie within the realm of our knowledge; the things which do not touch us, which do not concern our life, concerning which we may hold one... read more

MOSES’ FAREWELL SPEECHESDeuteronomy 4:1-40, Deuteronomy 27:1-26; Deuteronomy 28:1-68; Deuteronomy 29:1-29; Deuteronomy 30:1-20.WITH the twenty-sixth chapter the entirely homogeneous central portion of the Book of Deuteronomy ends, and it concludes it most worthily. It prescribes two ceremonies which are meant to give solemn expression to the feeling of thankfulness which the love of God, manifested in so many laws and precepts, covering the commonest details of life, should have made the... read more

25. The Repetition of the Covenant and the Repetition of the Curse CHAPTER 29 1. The repetition of the covenant (Deuteronomy 29:1-15 ) 2. The repetition of the curse (Deuteronomy 29:16-29 ) The words of the covenant are once more brought to their remembrance. Once more all the goodness of the Lord towards them is unfolded by Moses, how the Lord had dealt with Egypt and how their eyes had seen the signs and great miracles. (Verses 5 and 6 are the direct words of Jehovah, ending with the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

THE CONDITIONAL COVENANT RENEWED (vs.1-29) Verse I speaks of a covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with Israel in the land of Moab, "Beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb." This covenant is not different in its terms, but is really a renewing of the covenant in Horeb. For it is conditional, in contrast to the "New Covenant" ofJeremiah 31:31-34; Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is unconditional, for it speaks only of what God will do for Israel in greatly blessing them, with... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

THE PALESTINIAN COVENANT The subject of these chapters is new and exceedingly important, containing what is called the Palestinian covenant. Note that while the land was unconditionally given to Abraham and his seed in what we call the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 13:15 ; Genesis 15:7 ), yet it was under another and conditional one that Israel ultimately entered the land under Joshua. It is this covenant that is recorded in the present chapters. This was utterly violated by the nation, for... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Secret Things Deu 29:29 We have here two words of permanent significance, the confusion of which would lead to all kinds of spiritual disaster. These words are "secret" and "revealed." It is something to know that this distinction was so early made in human thinking. The distinction, in fact, can be found in the communications which passed between God and man in the garden of Eden itself. The simple law is that some "things" belong unto the Lord our God; we have nothing to do with them; we... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:22-28

The judgments upon Israel, must excite the astonishment and enquiry of all nations; Wherefore hath the LORD dealt so by his people? How is it that the glory of all lands, and the distinguished people of all nations, are thus dealt with? See GOD'S tender expostulation: Hosea 11:8 . Reader! do not overlook the spiritual instruction in this chapter. The horrible consequences of GOD'S broken law are set forth in this striking manner, to demonstrate our ruin by sin, in order to demonstrate as fully... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:22-28

22-28 Idolatry would be the ruin of their nation. It is no new thing for God to bring desolating judgments on a people near to him in profession. He never does this without good reason. It concerns us to seek for the reason, that we may give glory to God, and take warning to ourselves. Thus the law of Moses leaves sinners under the curse, and rooted out of the Lord's land; but the grace of Christ toward penitent, believing sinners, plants them again in their land; and they shall no more be... read more

A Solemn Call to Obedience v. 10. Ye stand this day, all of you, before the Lord, your God, not only the men, but also the women, the children, and the strangers who had cast their lot with theirs; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, time all the men of Israel, v. 11. your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water, the men lowest in the social scale, the men that performed the lowest and... read more
