The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:16-30

God's foresight of Israel's declension. We learn— I. THAT THE FUTURE IS PERFECTLY UNVEILED TO GOD . God claims this power as one of his prerogatives ( Isaiah 41:22 ; Isaiah 42:9 ; Isaiah 43:25 , Isaiah 43:26 ; Isaiah 45:20 , Isaiah 45:21 ). And no one can question but that these predictions have been strikingly fulfilled. The people did corrupt themselves and turn aside, and evil did befall them in the latter days ( Deuteronomy 31:29 ). II. THAT ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 31:14-23

The transaction recorded in these verses may be regarded as the solemn inauguration of Joshua to the office to which he had some time before Numbers 27:22 been called, and his recognition in it by God, which were manifested by his being summoned into the tabernacle with Moses while the Lord appeared in the pillar of cloud (compare Numbers 11:25; Numbers 12:5).Deuteronomy 31:16The future apostasy of the people is announced in the presence of Joshua that the latter might be fully aware of the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:1-29

31:1-34:12 MOSES’ LAST DAYSArrangements for the future (31:1-29)Knowing he had only a few more days to live, Moses handed over the leadership of Israel to his divinely appointed successor, Joshua. He reminded both Joshua and the people that fearless commitment to the task ahead, combined with total trust in God, would guarantee victory over the Canaanites and possession of the promised land (31:1-8,14-15,23; see notes on Numbers 27:12-23).Moses then made three separate arrangements to ensure... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 31:1-29

A. The duties of Israel’s future leaders 31:1-29"Israel was not to be a nation of anarchists or even of strong human leaders. It was a theocratic community with the Lord as King and with his covenant revelation as fundamental constitution and law. The theme of this section is the enshrinement of that law, the proper role of Mosaic succession, and the ultimate authority of covenant mandate over human institutions." [Note: Merrill, Deuteronomy, p. 395.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 31:14-23

3. The commissioning of Joshua 31:14-23Whereas previously Moses had presented Joshua to the people (Deuteronomy 31:1-8), now God officially commissioned him to his new responsibility as Moses’ successor. He did this at the tabernacle, the appropriate place for this official ceremony.The bulk of this section concerns God’s revelation to Moses concerning Israel’s future apostasy (Deuteronomy 31:16-22). Hiding the Lord’s face (Deuteronomy 31:17-18; Deuteronomy 32:20) is the opposite of making His... read more

Deuteronomy 31:23 Moses, in God's name, did counsel Joshua, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them. God immediately did command him (Joshua 1:6 ), Be strong and of a good courage; and again (v. 7), Only be thou strong and very courageous; and again (v. 9), Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage. Lastly, the Reubenites and Gadites heartily desired him (v. 18), Only be strong and of a good... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 31:1-30

MOSES GIVING WAY TO JOSHUA (vs.1-8) Having finished his exposition of the law, Moses looks on to the future, so that the subject to the end of Deuteronomy is prophetic. Moses begins by announcing that he is 120 years of age, and no longer fitted for the work he has done for years (vs.1-2). Besides this, God had told him he would not cross over Jordan. Yet Israel did not depend on Moses, but on God, who would pass over before them. He would destroy the nations from the land, and Israel would... read more
