The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:5-14

Ungrateful men interrogated. In almost every clause of this paragraph there is some specific allusion, for the elucidation of which the reader will refer to the Exposition. The commentary of Dr. Jameson thereon is very valuable. Our aim is strictly homiletic. The central words around which the preacher's expository thoughts may gather are these—"Do ye thus requite the Lord?" Three main lines of illustration are suggested. I. HERE IS A REHEARSAL OF THE DIVINE LOVING - ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:6-7

Instead of gratefully acknowledging the Divine beneficence, and dutifully obeying the Divine will, Israel had perversely and foolishly requited the Lord for all his benefits, by apostasy from him. Do ye thus requite? The verb here signifies primarily to do to any one either good or evil, whether in return for what he has done or not (cf. Genesis 1:15 ; 1 Samuel 24:18 ; Proverbs 3:30 ); then, as a secondary meaning, to reward, repay, requite, as here and Psalms 18:21 . To bring more... 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 32:5

Deuteronomy 32:5. They have corrupted themselves Notwithstanding that God hath fully displayed these excellences in his dealings with the Israelitish nation, yet how corrupt and ungrateful hath been their behaviour! Their spot The wickedness with which they are stained; is not of his children Plainly shows they are not his children, but of their father the devil, John 8:44. God’s children have no such spot. Indeed, the text does not affirm that they have any spot at all. The Hebrew לא... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 32:6

Deuteronomy 32:6. O foolish people and unwise! Fools and double fools! Fools, indeed, to disoblige one on whom you so entirely depend! Who hath bewitched you to forsake your own mercies for lying vanities? Bought thee That hath redeemed thee from Egyptian bondage. Made thee Not only in a general, by creation, but in a peculiar manner, by making thee his peculiar people. Established That is renewed and confirmed his favour to thee, and not taken it away, which thou hast provoked him... 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

They have, &c. The Nom., "generation", is put last by Figure of speech Hyperbaton ( App-6 ), for emphasis, in contrast with "the Rock" of Deuteronomy 32:4 , which is there put first. Compare Deuteronomy 32:20 . Render the verse thus: "A perverse and crooked generation hath corrupted itself: [To be] no sons of His is their blemish. " spot = blemish. children = sons. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 32:5

Ver. 5. They have corrupted themselves, &c.— Is there corruption in Him? no: but of his children the spot is theirs. Dr. Waterland. Houbigant renders it: They are corrupt: they are not his children: They are blotted: a wicked, and perverse generation. In which version he follows the Samaritan and several others. Dr. Lowth, though he gives, as we shall soon see, a different interpretation, and as good a one, perhaps, as can be offered of the Hebrew text, yet rather agrees with Houbigant in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:5

5. They have corrupted themselves—that is, the Israelites by their frequent lapses and their inveterate attachment to idolatry. their spot is not the spot of his children—This is an allusion to the marks which idolaters inscribe on their foreheads or their arms with paint or other substances, in various colors and forms—straight, oval, or circular, according to the favorite idol of their worship. read more
