Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 33:26
Deuteronomy 33:26. There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun These are the last words that ever Moses wrote, perhaps the greatest writer that ever lived upon the earth. And this man of God, who had as much reason to know both as ever any mere man had, with his last breath magnifies both the God of Israel, and the Israel of God. Having blessed every particular tribe, he concludes with declaring the happiness of the whole nation, especially in this, that their God was not like the vain and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-29
The blessing of Moses (32:48-33:29)As God had announced earlier, the time for Moses to die had come (48-52; see Numbers 27:12-14). The prophetic blessings that he gave Israel before he died foresaw the favours that God would give the various tribes. But first Moses recalled the giving of the law at Sinai. God appeared in flaming majesty, bursting forth in glory brighter than the rising sun. Accompanying him were multitudes of heavenly servants who carry out God’s purposes in the lives of... read more

FINAL HYMN OF PRAISE (Deuteronomy 33:26-29)"There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun,Who rideth upon the heavens for thy help,And in his excellency on the skies.The eternal God is thy dwelling place,And underneath are the everlasting arms,And he thrust out the enemy from before thee,And said, Destroy.And Israel dwelleth in safety,The fountain of Jacob alone,In a land of grain and new wine;Yes, his heavens drop down dew.Happy art thou, O Israel:Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah,The... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 33:26-29
Ver. 26-29. There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun— Moses, having made an end of declaring to each tribe some of the particular circumstances which would distinguish them from the rest, and having prayed for their respective prosperity, as far as the holy spirit suffered him, now concludes the whole with a general benediction. This beautiful ode begins with representing God Almighty, who had vouchsafed to become the tutelary Deity of Israel, as being far superior to any local gods: for the... read more

26-29. There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun—The chapter concludes with a congratulatory address to Israel on their peculiar happiness and privilege in having Jehovah for their God and protector. who rideth upon the heaven in thy help—an evident allusion to the pillar of cloud and fire, which was both the guide and shelter of Israel. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 33:1-29
D. Moses’ blessing of the tribes ch. 33After receiving this announcement of his death, and as one of his final official acts as Israel’s leader, Moses pronounced a prophetic blessing on the tribes of Israel (cf. Jacob’s blessing of the tribes in Genesis 49)."In the ancient Near East, a dying father’s final blessings spoken to his sons were an irrevocable legal testament, accepted as decisive evidence in court disputes. In the case of the Biblical patriarchs, the authority and potency of their... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 33:26-29
The blessing closes by returning to consider Israel’s God again (cf. Deuteronomy 33:2-5). Moses pictured Him as a God great enough to give the tribes all He had just promised them. [Note: For a critical study of this chapter, see I. L. Seeligmann, "A Psalm from Pre-Regal Times," Vetus Testamentum 14 (1964):75-92.] The key to Israel’s blessing was her God and her relationship to Him."As we might expect, here at the end of the book, Moses pictures Israel’s dwelling in the land as a reversal of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26-29
God, the crown of Israel's glory. As soon as Moses touches upon ills theme, language seems too poor to express the greatness of his thought—too cold to convey the glowing ardor of his love. Here all metaphors fail; all comparisons are vain. God is above all imagery, or metaphor, or illustration. As there is none like him, so nothing can fitly express his deeds towards his chosen, tits conduct is, like himself, ineffable. As heaven is loftier than earth, so do God's thoughts and ways... read more
