Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 12:31

Ver. 31. Their sons and their daughters they have burnt, &c.— To what we have said of this horrid custom on Leviticus 20:1; Lev 20:27 we shall only add, that it was notoriously practised by the Carthaginians, who, it is certain, derived it from the Phoenicians, the ancient inhabitants of Canaan; and at last it overspread all nations, and prevailed even among the refined Greeks themselves. See Banier's Mythol. book 3: ch. 10. But what is more surprising, we find the Israelites themselves,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 12:20-32

The laws just given were to remain in force even though God would enlarge Israel’s territory after the nation entered the land. This enlargement would take place as the Israelites gradually drove the Canaanites out (Deuteronomy 7:22). It would come to them as God would give them additional territory as a reward for faithful obedience to Him (Exodus 23:27-33). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 12:29-31

Pagan gods 12:29-31The Israelites were not to investigate the pagan religious practices of the Canaanites with a view to worshipping their gods or following their example in the worship of Yahweh (Deuteronomy 12:30; cf. Romans 16:19; Ephesians 5:12). Moses developed this idea further in the next chapter. This pericope is transitional, moving from the worship of Yahweh (ch. 12) to the worship of idols (ch. 13). Chapter 12 opens and closes with warnings against pagan religion.How does God want... read more

The Abolition of Idolatrous Places. The Centralisation of Worship. Abstinence from BloodThe larger section of the Second Discourse begins here and extends to the end of Deuteronomy 26. It consists of a code of laws, and constitutes the nucleus of the whole book: see on Deuteronomy 4:44-49. So far as any orderly arrangement can be discovered, Deuteronomy 12-16 are taken up with the more strictly religious duties; Deuteronomy 17-20 with civil ordinances; and Deuteronomy 21-26 with social and... read more

The Friendship of Christ (a University Sermon) Deuteronomy 12:13 ; Revelation 3:20 Your college days are preeminently days when you open the doors of your hearts and let new friends in. In these years you are generous, and ready to hear a knock, and to respond to it. I. Never has the history of any human life been truly and fully related. I fancy that if such a thing could be, the record would be mainly of those who at different stages and periods have come into it. Many of them have come and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 12:1-32

LAWS OF SACRIFICEDeuteronomy 12:1-32.IT is a characteristic of all the earlier codes of law-the Book of the Covenant, the Deuteronomic Code, and the Law of Holiness-that at the head of the series of laws which they contain there should be a law of sacrifice. Probably, too, each of the three had, as first section of all, the Decalogue. The Book of the Covenant and Deuteronomy undeniably have it so, and the earlier element which forms the basis of Leviticus 17:1-16; Leviticus 18:1-30; Leviticus... read more
