申命记 13:4 CUNPSS

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

Warnings against Temptations to IdolatryThe people are warned against three possible sources of temptation to idolatry, viz. the false prophet (Deuteronomy 13:1-5), an erring member of the family (Deuteronomy 13:6-11), and an apostate city (Deuteronomy 13:12-18). In each case the tempter or tempters must he put to death without mercy.2. A sign or a wonder is not enough to establish the credentials of a prophet. If he seeks to turn the people from the worship of Jehovah, he confesses himself... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

LAWS AGAINST IDOLATROUS ACTS AND CUSTOMSDeuteronomy 13:1-18; Deuteronomy 14:1-29HAVING thus set forth the law which was to crown and complete the long resistance of faithful Israel to idolatry, our author goes on to prohibit and to decree punishment for any action likely to lead to the worship of false gods. He absolutely forbids any inquiry into the religions of the Canaanites. "Take heed to thyself that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so... read more

9. Warnings Against False Prophets and Their Punishment CHAPTER 13 1. The first case: The false prophet and dreamer (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 ) 2. The second case: Temptation to idolatry from blood-relations (Deuteronomy 13:6-11 ) 3. The third case: The apostasy of a city (Deuteronomy 13:12-18 ) Three cases are mentioned.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

JUDGMENT OF FALSE PROPHETS (vs.1-11) Just as Paul warned the Ephesian elders that "savage wolves" would enter in among New Testament believers, and men from among themselves would teach perverted things to draw away disciples after them (Acts 20:29-30), so Moses warned Israel here of what might happen among them, and did happen. A prophet or dreamer of dreams might arise, prognosticating something about to happen and using this to back up his leading others to serve idols. The thing that he... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

CONDITIONS OF BLESSING PLACES OF WORSHIP (Deuteronomy 12:0 ) In Canaan, what were the Israelites to destroy and how thoroughly was the work to be done (Deuteronomy 12:1-3 )? What contrast were they to place between themselves and the heathen in public worship (Deuteronomy 12:4-7 )? Did this apply to the same extent in the wilderness, and if not, why not (Deuteronomy 12:8-14 )? What exception was made as to their private and domestic affairs (Deuteronomy 12:15-16 )? What were they not at... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

Danger and Security Deuteronomy 13:0 This passage, by the inspiration of God, touches upon all the possible points of danger in a religious course. Suppose, for the moment, we do not admit the inspiration, still there remains the fact that in a book so old as Deuteronomy some master hand has touched the three great points of vital danger in religious progress. We bow to genius: we acknowledge power: we say it is but decent to uncover the head in the presence of superiority; bound by this law,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:1-5

1-5 Moses had cautioned against the peril that might arise from the Canaanites. Here he cautions against the rise of idolatry among themselves. It is needful for us to be well acquainted with the truths and precepts of the Bible; for we may expect to be proved by temptations of evil under the appearance of good, of error in the guise of truth; nor can any thing rightly oppose such temptations, but the plain, express testimony of God's word to the contrary. And it would be a proof of sincere... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 13:1-5

Of False Prophets in General v. 1. If there arise among you, in your midst, a prophet, one pretending to be sent by the Lord, or a dreamer of dreams, (the latter were mediums through which the Lord had promised to make known His will, Numbers 12:6), and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, for the servants of Satan, with God's permission, are also able to show great signs and wonders, Matthew 24:24, v. 2. and the sign or the wonder come to pass whereof he spake unto thee, since the power of... read more
