The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:19-46

Irrecoverableness of wasted opportunity. I. THE CULMINATION OF OPPORTUNITY OFTEN FINDS A MAN UNPREPARED TO OCCUPY IT . The point of time referred to here was the supreme moment in Israel's history. They had relinquished Egypt, endured privation, performed a toilsome journey, for one object, viz. to possess Canaan; yet, when they touched the threshold of the inheritance, they failed to rise to the conception of their privilege. They hesitated, dawdled, feared—and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:22-32

The mission of the spies. We see from two instances in this chapter how God's plans leave wide room for the independent action of the human mind. Moses got the suggestion of appointing judges from Jethro; the idea of sending spies to reconnoiter the Holy Land originated with the people. The source from which it came made the motive of it doubtful, but as in itself a measure of prudence, Moses was well pleased with it, and, with God's permission, adopted it. We have here— I. A POLICY ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:29-40

Moses endeavored to rouse the drooping courage of the people, and persuade them to go up by reminding them that God, who was with them, would go before them, and fight for them as he had often done before; but without success, so that God was angry with them, and forbade their entrance into Canaan. This is not mentioned in Numbers, probably because Moses' appeal was unsuccessful. The whole of that generation was bound to fall in the wilderness, except Caleb and Joshua; only their children... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:31-33

Love in the wilderness. A beautiful passage, laden with God's compassions. We have in it— I. TENDER LOVE . The love is likened to that of the best of fathers to a son (cf. Psalms 103:13 ). The New Testament goes further. It not only likens God to a father, but tells us he is one. He is "our Father in heaven," "the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord." This full revelation of Fatherhood only a Son could have given; and as given in the gospel it is the believer's daily... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:32-33

Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God ; literally, With this thing [or With this word ] ye were not believing in Jehovah your God . The Hebrew דָבָר , like the Greek ρῆμα , signifies either thing or word. If the former rendering be adopted here, the meaning will be, Notwithstanding this fact of which you have had experience, viz. how God has interposed for your protection and deliverance, ye were still unbelieving in him. If the latter rendering be adopted, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:32-35

The grievous consequences of unbelief. Moses rehearses in the hearing of Israel the strange story of "their manners in the wilderness," and reminds them how their unbelief had provoked the Lord to anger, and had deprived vast numbers of them of the rest they had hoped to enjoy. We ought to be at no loss how to apply this to present day uses. The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of David, renews the warning voice. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, both by argument and exhortation,... read more

The excluded and the admitted. I. THE EXCLUDED . 1. That whole unbelieving generation , with two excerptions ( Deuteronomy 1:35 ). Note: 2. The holy Moses ( Deuteronomy 1:37 ; cf. on Deuteronomy 3:26 ; Deuteronomy 4:21 ; Deuteronomy 34:4 ). The exclusion of Moses will be more fully considered afterwards, but we learn from it here that God's apparent severity is often greatest to his own people ( Amos 3:2 ), and that the share which others have had in leading... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:34-46

The heirs of promise. We have in this passage the result of unbelief. The dread of the people was lest their little ones should become a prey to their gigantic foes in Canaan. The Lord now declares that these little ones shall be the possessors of the land, while they themselves shall be denied an entrance, since they refused it when offered to them. The only exceptions are to be Joshua and Caleb, who made the good report and gave the good counsel. Even Moses is included in the doom of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:35-36

They were all, the whole generation of them, evil, and therefore not a man of them should see the good land which God had promised to their fathers, with the exception of Caleb, who had wholly followed the Lord—had remained steadfast and faithful whilst the others fell away. Joshua also was exempted from this doom; but before mentioning him, Moses refers to himself as having also come under the Divine displeasure. read more
