申命記 9:3 JC

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

Warning against stubbornness (9:1-10:11)Moses warned the Israelites not to boast about their coming victories. The conquest of Canaan was by God’s power, not theirs. It was because of the wickedness of the Canaanites, not because of any goodness in the Israelites (9:1-5).Israel, in fact, was a stubborn people, who deserved none of God’s good gifts. Moses reminded them of their rebellion at Sinai, how they promised to obey God’s law, but broke it before it was even written down (6-21; see notes... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 9:3

Ver. 3. So shalt thou drive them out—quickly— Not the whole seven nations, whom, he had said before, God would drive out by little and little, chap. Deu 7:22 but so many as to make a settlement for the Israelites in Canaan.

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 9:1-6

Moses explained the reasons God was giving Canaan to the Israelites. In addition to God’s promises to the patriarchs (Deuteronomy 9:5), God was using Israel as a broom to sweep away the spiritually and morally polluted Canaanites. Israel was His instrument of judgment. The people of God should not conclude that their righteousness was what merited God’s blessing. Essentially they were a stubborn people (Deuteronomy 9:6), unresponsive to God’s will, as the Canaanites had been. The expression... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 9:1-11

Warning against self-righteousness 9:1-10:11"From a literary standpoint Deuteronomy 9:1 to Deuteronomy 10:11 is a travel narrative much like Deuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 3:29, with which, in fact, it shares much in common. For example, both are introduced (Deuteronomy 1:1-5; Deuteronomy 9:1-6) and concluded (Deuteronomy 3:29; Deuteronomy 10:11) by a setting in the plains of Moab in anticipation of the conquest of Canaan." [Note: Merrill, Deuteronomy, p. 189.] This pericope contains the second... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

Practical Exhortations (continued)The rebellions and provocations of the wilderness are recalled, to show the people that it is not of their own merit that they are to inherit the promises, nor by their own strength that they are to dispossess the inhabitants of Canaan, but by the grace and power of God.8. Also in Horeb] Even at Horeb, in view of those awe-inspiring tokens of the divine majesty, and at the very time when the Law was being promulgated, the people corrupted themselves: see Exodus... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 9:3

(3) Understand therefore.—Literally, the connection seems to be this: “The children of Anakim thou knowest—thou knowest also (the same word) to-day, that it is Jehovah thy God Himself that passeth over before thee, a consuming fire. He will destroy them, and He will make them to bow down before thee. And thou shalt make a conquest of them, and speedily annihilate them, according as Jehovah hath commanded thee.” read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

ISRAEL’S ELECTION, AND MOTIVES FOR FAITHFULNESSDeuteronomy 9:1-29; Deuteronomy 10:1-22; Deuteronomy 11:1-32THE remaining chapters of this special introduction to the statement of the actual laws beginning with chapter 12 contain also an earnest insistence upon other motives why Israel should remain true to the covenant of Yahweh. They are urged to this, not only because life both spiritual and physical depended upon it, as was shown in the trials of the wilderness, but they are also to lay it... read more
