John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:38

To drive out nations from before thee, greater and mightier than thou art ,.... The seven nations of the land of Canaan, which were more in number and mightier in power and strength than they, and particularly the Amorites, who were already driven out and dispossessed of their country, even the kingdoms and nations of Sihon and Og: to bring thee in to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day ; referring, as Aben Ezra observes, to the inheritance of the land of the two... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:39

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart ,.... Own and acknowledge it now with thy mouth, and lay it up and consider it in thine heart hereafter, as a truth of the greatest importance to be professed and held fast, and to be thought of and meditated upon continually, and never to be forgotten: that the Lord he is God in heaven above , and upon the earth beneath; that he has made both, and is the possessor and Lord of them, and does what he pleases with them; that the one... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:40

Thou shall keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments ,.... All his laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, partly being under obligation to him for all the great and good things done by him for them before enumerated, and partly and chiefly because he is the Lord God in heaven and in earth, and has a right to command and ought to be obeyed: which I command thee this day ; in the name of the Lord, and which he repeated, opened, and explained, and charged them afresh to observe;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:29

But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord - God is longsuffering, and of tender mercy; and waits, ever ready, to receive a backsliding soul when it returns to him. Is not this promise left on record for the encouragement and salvation of lost Israel? read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:30

When thou art in tribulation in the latter days - Are not these the times spoken of? And is there not still hope for Israel? Could we see them become zealous for their own law and religious observances - could we see them humble themselves before the God of Jacob - could we see them conduct their public worship with any tolerable decency and decorum - could we see them zealous to avoid every moral evil, inquiring the road to Zion, with their faces thitherward; then might we hope that the... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:33

Did ever people hear the voice of God - It seems to have been a general belief that if God appeared to men, it was for the purpose of destroying them; and indeed most of the extraordinary manifestations of God were in the way of judgment; but here it was different; God did appear in a sovereign and extraordinary manner; but it was for the deliverance and support of the people. They heard his voice speaking with them in a distinct, articulate manner. They saw the fire, the symbol of his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:34

From the midst of another nation - This was a most extraordinary thing, that a whole people, consisting of upwards of 600,000 effective men, besides women and children, should, without striking a blow, be brought out of the midst of a very powerful nation, to the political welfare of which their services were so essential; that they should be brought out in so open and public a manner; that the sea itself should be supernaturally divided to afford this mighty host a passage; and that, in a... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:29

Verse 29 29.But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord. In this passage also he exhorts and encourages them in the confidence of obtaining pardon, and thus anticipates them, so that they might not be overwhelmed with sorrow when smitten by God’s hand; for despair awakens such rage in the wretched that they cannot submit themselves to God. He sets before them, then, another object in their punishments, that they may not cease to taste of God’s goodness in the midst of their afflictions, whereby... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:30

Verse 30 30.When thou art in tribulation. He here shews the advantage of punishments, on the ground of their usefulness and profit; for what the Apostle says is confirmed by experience, that “no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them that are exercised thereby.” (Hebrews 12:11.) Lest, therefore, they should be provoked to wrath by God’s stripes, he reminds them of their usefulness to them,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:32

Verse 32 32.For ask now. Moses here more forcibly extols and pronounces magnificent praises upon the miracles which he had before more simply related to have taken place at the promulgation of the Law, his object being to produce a fuller conviction of its dignity. He magnifies, too, by comparison, the testimonies whereby its authority had been ratified, viz., because nothing like it had ever occurred; for if any such instance had previously taken place, some portion of its preciousness or... read more
