Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 1:28

Ver. 28. Walled up to heaven— A strong hyperbole, usual with the very best writers, to express the height and strength of their enemies' walls. See Gen 11:4 and Bochart's Phaleg. lib. 1: cap. 13. The author of the Observations remarks, that, "anciently if they raised up the walls of their cities so high as not to be able to be scaled, they thought them safe." The same simple contrivance is, to this day, sufficient to guard places from the Arabs, who live in that very wilderness in which Israel... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 1:28

28. the cities are great, and walled up to heaven—an Oriental metaphor, meaning very high. The Arab marauders roam about on horseback, and hence the walls of St. Catherine's monastery on Sinai are so lofty that travellers are drawn up by a pulley in a basket. Anakims—(See on :-). The honest and uncompromising language of Moses, in reminding the Israelites of their perverse conduct and outrageous rebellion at the report of the treacherous and fainthearted scouts, affords a strong evidence of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 1:6-46

1. God’s guidance from Sinai to Kadesh 1:6-46Moses began his recital of Israel’s history at Horeb (Sinai) because this is where Yahweh adopted the nation by making the Mosaic Covenant with her. The trip from Egypt to Sinai was only preparation for the giving of the covenant. The Mosaic Covenant is central in Deuteronomy."The importance of history has two focal points: (a) there is the covenant tradition of promise, from Abraham to Moses; (b) there is the experience of God in history working out... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 1:19-46

These verses deal with Israel’s failure at Kadesh-Barnea, its causes and its consequences.The Hebrew word translated "take possession" (Deuteronomy 1:21), referring to the Promised Land, occurs over 50 times in Deuteronomy.

Moses agreed to it, as did... read more
