The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-5

The King and his viceroy. Moses, having received the direction about his death, proceeds next to formally bless the tribes. We have in these verses the introduction to the blessing. It brings under our notice the Great King himself, and the minor king, Moses, the viceroy. As the parting blessing of him whom God had made "king in Jeshurun," it has more weight and significance than anything which ever came out of the lips of kings. Even David's dying words are not so sublime as these of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-5

The Godlike act of blessing. Moses is finely described as "the man of God." Among his contemporaries there was no man who bore so much of the Divine image. In character, in office, in deed, he was eminently Godlike. As his earthly life drew to a close, the real man came more fully into view. Death is a clever unveiler of a man—it strips off shams and masks, it discovers the reality. Like his great Antitype, Moses forgets himself in the crisis of death, and concerns himself about others. As... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

EXPOSITION The blessing consists of a series of benedictions on the several tribes ( Deuteronomy 33:6-25 ), preceded by an introduction ( Deuteronomy 33:1-5 ), and followed by a conclusion ( Deuteronomy 33:26-29 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:2

And he said. Here begin the words of Moses. He commences by depicting the majesty of Jehovah as he appeared to Israel when he came to make the covenant with them and give them his Law. The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them, etc. Seir is the mountain land of Edom to the cast of Sinai. Mount Paran is probably the range of lofty hills which form the southern boundary of the Promised Land to the north of the desert of Et-Tih. These places are not mentioned as scenes of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:2

A fiery Law. The fieriness of the Law, significant: 1. Of the holiness from which the Law emanated. 2. Of the fiery sanctions by which it is guarded. 3. Of the threatening aspect which it wears to sinners. 4. Of the purifying effects which it exerts in the hearts and consciences of believers.—J.O. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:3

Yea, he loved the people. The proper rendering is, he loveth peoples ( עַמִּים ). This is generally understood of the tribes of Israel; but some would understand it of nations in general, on the ground that such is the proper meaning of the word, as in Deuteronomy 32:8 and other places. A reference to nations at large, however, would seem incongruous here; and the use of the word in relation to Israel in such passages as Genesis 28:3 ; 5:14 ; Isaiah 3:13 ; Hoe. Isaiah 10:14 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:3

God's saints. 1. Their happiness— loved of God. 2. Their safety— in God's hand. 3. Their attitude— sitting at God's feet—at the feet of God's Son ( Luke 10:3 , Luke 10:9 ). The receiving to be of the practical kind of hiding God's words in the heart, and going on to put them in practice ( Matthew 13:23 ).—J.O. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:4

Moses here, identifying himself with the people, uses the third person, and includes himself among those to whom the Law was given; cf. Psalms 20:1-9 ; Psalms 21:1-13 ; where David not only speaks of himself in the third person, but addresses such prayers for himself as could only be offered by the people for their king (cf. also 5:12 , 5:15 ; Habakkuk 3:19 ). Even the inheritance of the congregation. The "even," which the translators of the Authorized Version have inserted here,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 33:2

By “Seir” is to be understood the mountain-land of the Edomites, and by “mount Paran” the range which forms the northern boundary of the desert of Sinai (compare Genesis 14:6 note). Thus the verse forms a poetical description of the vast arena upon which the glorious manifestation of the Lord in the giving of the covenant took place.With ten thousands of saints - Render, from amidst ten thousands of holy ones: literally from myriads of holiness, i. e., holy Angels (compare Zechariah 14:5). God... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 33:3

“The people” are the twelve tribes, not the Gentiles; and his saints refer to God’s chosen people just before spoken of. Compare Deuteronomy 7:18, Deuteronomy 7:21; Exodus 19:6; Daniel 7:8-21. read more
