John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:15

For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you ,.... He was near to them, in the midst of them, his tabernacle being placed between their camps; and was a God jealous of his honour and glory in matters of worship, and would resent any affront given him in that way: lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee ; there being nothing more apt to stir up his wrath than idolatry: and destroy thee from off the face of the earth ; suffer them to be carried captive out of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:16

Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God ,.... By striving with him or against him, by murmuring at or complaining of his providential dealings with them, or by requiring a sign of him, or miracles to be done by him; this is another passage used by Christ to repel the temptations of Satan, Matthew 4:7 , as tempted him in Massah ; a place so called from the Israelites tempting the Lord there, Exodus 17:7 , the Targum of Jonathan adds, with ten temptations; see Numbers 14:21 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:17

You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God ,.... Not only the ten commands, but all others: and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee ; those of a judicial and ceremonial kind. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:18

And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord ,.... And what is such appears from the declaration of his mind and will in the commandments he has given, and obeying which is therefore doing what is right and good; for his commandment is holy, just, and good, being agreeable both to his nature and will, Romans 7:12 that it may be well with thee; as it is with those that fear God, and keep his commandments: and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:19

To cast out all thine enemies from before thee ,.... This the Lord promised, and as it seems with an oath, that he would do for them; drive out their enemies, and make way for the settlement of them in their country: as the Lord hath spoken ; see Genesis 15:18 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:20

And when thy son asketh thee in time to come ,.... Or "tomorrow" F24 מחר "cras", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus. ; that is, in later times, as Jarchi interprets it; any time after this, and particularly after they were come into the land of Canaan, when the several laws, statutes, and ordinances appointed, would take place and be obeyed: what mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded you ? what is the reason of the various rites,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:7

Thou shalt teach them diligently - שננתם shinnantam , from שנן shanan , to repeat, iterate, or do a thing again and again; hence to whet or sharpen any instrument, which is done by reiterated friction or grinding. We see here the spirit of this Divine injunction. God's testimonies must be taught to our children, and the utmost diligence must be used to make them understand them. This is a most difficult task; and it requires much patience, much prudence, much judgment, and much piety... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:8

Thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thins hand - Is not this an allusion to an ancient and general custom observed in almost every part of the world? When a person wishes to remember a thing of importance, and is afraid to trust to the common operations of memory, he ties a knot on some part of his clothes, or a cord on his hand or finger, or places something out of its usual order, and in view, that his memory may be whetted to recollection, and his eye affect his heart. God, who knows how... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:9

Write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates - The Jews, forgetting the spirit and design of this precept, used these things as superstitious people do amulets and charms, and supposed, if they had these passages of Scripture written upon slips of pure parchment, wrapped round their foreheads, tied to their arm, or nailed to their door-posts, that they should then be delivered from every evil! And how much better are many Christians, who keep a Bible in their house merely that it... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:12

Beware lest thou forget the Lord - In earthly prosperity men are apt to forget heavenly things. While the animal senses have every thing they can wish, it is difficult for the soul to urge its way to heaven; the animal man is happy, and the desires of the soul are absorbed in those of the flesh. God knows this well; and therefore, in his love to man, makes comparative poverty and frequent affliction his general lot. Should not every soul therefore magnify God for this lot in life? "Before I... read more
