Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 11:18

Deuteronomy 11:18. Lay up these my words Let us all observe these three rules: 1st, Let our hearts be filled with the word of God; let it dwell in us richly, in all wisdom, (Colossians 3:16,) and be laid up within us as in a store- house, to be used upon all occasions. 2d, Let our eyes be fixed upon it: Bind these words for a sign upon your hand Which is always in view; and as frontlets between your eyes Which you cannot avoid the sight of. 3d, Let our tongues be employed about the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

What God demands of Israel (10:12-11:32)In summary, Moses’ instruction to Israel as a people was that they were to fear, obey, love and serve God, in the assurance that he desired only their good (12-13). He had chosen them in mercy, and he wanted them likewise to show mercy to others. They were to have humble purity of heart and genuine love, both in their relations with him and in their relations with others (14-20). They were not to be arrogant or boastful, but were to remember their humble... read more

"Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

The consequences of obedience and disobedience ch. 11The section of Deuteronomy dealing with general stipulations of the covenant ends as it began, with an exhortation to covenant loyalty (Deuteronomy 5:1-5; cf. Deuteronomy 4:32-40)."This chapter is to be understood as a re-emphasis of these principles [that were to govern Israel’s life] before the detailed laws of the so-called Deuteronomic Code (Deuteronomy 12:1 to Deuteronomy 26:19) are presented."

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 11:13-21

Moses held out the blessings for obeying God as an additional motivation. God would send rain on the land (Deuteronomy 11:14) that would result in productivity (Deuteronomy 11:15)."The first priority is . . . given to Scripture as the means of teaching the greatness and grace of God [to the next generation, Deuteronomy 11:18-19]." [Note: Sailhamer, p. 445.] read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 11:18

(18) Therefore shall ye lay up these my words.—The same injunctions are found above (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). The Jewish commentator remarks, somewhat sadly, here, that they would remember them in their captivity, if not before. The “therefore” at the commencement of the verse is a simple “and,” so that the passage can be read in connection with what precedes: “Ye will perish quickly from off the good land, and ye will lay these my words to your hearts.” But the words of Deuteronomy 11:21 seem to... read more
