The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:6

(comp. with Jeremiah 30:1-24 :31-34, and Hebrews 8:6 ).— The old and new covenants. It may not be uninstructive at this stage of homiletic teaching upon this book, to place on record the points of comparison and of contrast between the old and new covenants; i . e . between the covenant made through Moses and that propounded and sealed through the Lord Jesus Christ. I. LET US NOTE THE POINTS OF COMPARISON . 1. Both are made with a people formed for God ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

The rejection of Israel and the desolation of the promised inheritance were not to be the end of God’s dispensations. The closing words of the address therefore are words of comfort and promise. Compare marginal reference and Deuteronomy 4:29 ff; 1 Kings 8:46-50.The chastisements of God would lead the nation to repent, and thereupon God would again bless them.Deuteronomy 30:3Will turn thy captivity - Will change or put an end to thy state of captivity or distress (compare Psalms 14:7; Psalms... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 30:6

Deuteronomy 30:6. And the Lord Or, For the Lord; will circumcise thy heart Will by his word and Spirit change and purge thy heart from all thy idolatry and wickedness, and incline thy heart to love him. God will first convert and sanctify thee, the fruit whereof shall be, that thou shalt return and obey God’s commandments, (Deuteronomy 30:8,) and then shalt prosper in all things, Deuteronomy 30:9. This promise principally respects the times of the gospel, and still remains to be... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

The covenant renewed (29:1-30:20)Israel’s lack of understanding of God and his ways meant that the people needed constant reminders of the covenant’s purpose, meaning and requirements. Moses gave them such a reminder in this his farewell address to the nation, acting as God’s representative in the renewal of the covenant as he had done at the establishment of the covenant at Sinai (Horeb) (29:1-9). The renewed oath of allegiance that the people swore before entering Canaan was binding on future... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 30:6

"And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And Jehovah thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments, which I command thee this day. And Jehovah thy God will make thee plenteous, in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 30:6

Ver. 6. The Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart— Esdras and Nehemiah inform us, that the heart of the Jews was not circumcised when they returned from Babylon: the whole Jewish history teaches us the same; and so do St. Stephen and St. Paul. It is necessary, therefore, to understand this prophecy of some future restoration of the Jews, says Houbigant; and with him many of the most judicious writers agree: for there are, in this and several other prophecies concerning the restoration of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

1. The possibility of restoration 30:1-10When banished to the ends of the earth, the Israelites could repent and return to Yahweh in their hearts, purposing to obey Him again (Deuteronomy 30:1-2). In that event God would do several things for them. He would bring them back to their land and allow them to occupy it again (Deuteronomy 30:3-5). He would also permanently change the people’s heart attitude toward Himself (Deuteronomy 30:6). Here Moses anticipated a new covenant that eventually... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 30:2-20

VI. MOSES’ THIRD MAJOR ADDRESS: AN EXHORTATION TO OBEDIENCE 29:2-30:20"The rest of chapter 29 contains many reminiscences of the Near Eastern treaty pattern. It is not presented in a systematic manner but in narrative form. However, elements of the pattern are clearly discernible, making it extremely likely that some kind of covenant ceremony underlies the events here reported." [Note: Thompson, p. 279.] The form of this section argues for it being a covenant renewal. There is a historical... read more
