The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:37

The Lord would show his people the utter worthlessness of idols, and bring them to acknowledge him as the only true God. Their gods ; the idols to which Israel had turned, the strange gods which they had foolishly and sinfully preferred to Jehovah. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-42

Song of MosesIf Deuteronomy 32:1-3 be regarded as the introduction, and Deuteronomy 32:43 as the conclusion, the main contents of the song may be grouped under three heads, namely,(1) Deuteronomy 32:4-18, the faithfulness of God, the faithlessness of Israel;(2) Deuteronomy 32:19-33, the chastisement and the need of its infliction by God;(3) Deuteronomy 32:34-42, God’s compassion upon the low and humbled state of His people.The Song differs signally in diction and idiom from the preceding... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 32:37-38

Deuteronomy 32:37-38. He shall say The Lord, before he deliver his people, will first convince them of their former folly in forsaking him for idols. Which did eat That is, to whom you offered sacrifices and oblations, after the manner of the Gentiles. Let them rise up and help you If they can. Or, perhaps, instead of He shall say, (Deuteronomy 32:37,) it may be better rendered, One shall say; or, It shall be said. And then the meaning will be, Whoever beholds these judgments with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-47

The song of Moses (31:30-32:47)Being aware of the people’s tendency to rebellion against God (see v. 29), Moses left with them a song that he wanted everyone to take notice of (30). The song reminded the people of God’s loving care for them and of the need for faithfulness on their part towards him. It dealt with the future as well as the past, and reminded the people that in justice God would punish them and in mercy he would forgive them.As rain benefits young grass, so Moses’ words should... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:37

GOD'S RESPONSE (Deuteronomy 32:37-43)"And he will say, Where are their gods,The rock in which they took refuge;Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,And drank the wine of their drink-offering?Let them rise up and help you,Let them be your protection.See now that I, even I, am he,And there is no god with me:I kill, and I make alive;I wound, and I heal;And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.For I lift up my hand to heaven,And say, As I live forever,If I whet my glittering sword,And... read more

2. The song itself 32:1-43One Old Testament scholar called the Song of Moses "one of the most impressive religious poems in the entire Old Testament." [Note: W. F. Albright, "Some Remarks on the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy XXXII," Vetus Testamentum 9 (1959):339-46.] It contrasts the faithfulness and loyal love of God with the unfaithfulness and perversity of His people. As other important poems in the Pentateuch (e.g., Genesis 49; Exodus 15; Numbers 24), it also teaches major themes."The song... read more

Israel’s unfaithfulness would not thwart God’s purposes for her, however. God would use other nations to discipline His people, but He would judge them too (cf. Habakkuk 1-2). The Old Testament writers compared Israel to Sodom and Gomorrah many times (Deuteronomy 32:32), but they never compared the heathen nations to those wicked cities."One of the well-known sermons in American history was preached by Jonathan Edwards in 1741 from this verse [Deuteronomy 32:35] and particularly from this... read more
