Deuteronomy 3:13

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Review Of The Journey (concluded)1-11. The conquest of Og, king of Bashan. See Numbers 21:33 to Numbers 35:5. The ruins of these cities remain to this day: see on Numbers 21:33.9. Sirion] means ’glittering like a polished shield,’ and corresponds, therefore, to the name Mt. Blanc. The Hermon range is mostly covered with a cap of snow. In Deuteronomy 4:48; Hermon is also called ’Sion,’ which means the same as Sirion, if indeed it is not a clerical error for that word. 10. Salchah] still existing... read more

Prayers That Must Cease Deuteronomy 3:26 'The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.' There are prayers that must not be prolonged. We have wearied God, we are talking unwisely to Him; we think we are praying when we are only aggravating Divine providence; it would be the supreme mercy if we could only learn to hold our tongue. It is as if God had said, We have had enough of this matter; this is mere ignorance or selfishness; this is no piety, it is anything but piety; thou art now... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

THE DIVINE GOVERNMENTDeuteronomy 1:1-46; Deuteronomy 2:1-37; Deuteronomy 3:1-29AFTER these preliminary discussions we now enter upon the exposition. With the exception of the first two verses of chapter 1, concerning which there is a doubt whether they do not belong to Numbers, these three chapters stand out as the first section of our book. Examination shows that they form a separate and distinct whole, not continued in chapter 4; but there has been a great diversity of opinion as to their... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

CHAPTER 3 1. The conquest of Og (Deuteronomy 3:1-11 ) 2. The land possessed (Deuteronomy 3:12-20 ) 3. Joshua in the place of Moses (Deuteronomy 3:21-29 ) In obedience to the word of the Lord, they went to battle against Og, the king of Bashan. Obedience to the Lord and its results and blessing are the marks of the second and third chapters of Deuteronomy, while the first chapter shows disobedience and its fruit. The kingdom of Og in Bashan was a powerful kingdom. The cities had high... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

OG, KING OF BASHAN, DEFEATED (vs.1-11) The history of Og's defeat is in Numbers 21:33-35. Moses recounts this. Og and his people came out against Israel to battle, just as the ungodly would oppose the truth of the God of Glory. The Lord encouraged Moses to have no fear, for He had decreed the defeat of this particular enemy (v.2). As God had promised, so He gave Og and all his people into the hands of Israel with the result that no survivors remained (v.3). At the same time they captured all... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

REVIEW OF ISRAEL ’S HISTORY A book written by Canon Bernard entitled The Progress of Doctrine in the New Testament, shows not only that the contents of its books are inspired, but their arrangement and order as well. The same might be said of the Old Testament, especially of the Pentateuch. To illustrate, the purpose of the Bible is to give the history of redemption through a special seed. In Genesis we have the election of that seed (Abraham), in Exodus their redemption, in Leviticus their... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Review and Prospect Deuteronomy 3:0 Is it not remarkable that good causes and good men should meet with constant opposition? We are now perusing the history of a journey which was undertaken by divine direction, and again and again almost on every page we come upon the fact that the journey was from end to end bitterly opposed. Probably, if the people had started on a pilgrimage at their own suggestion, they could hardly have encountered severer hostility. We may even go further and say Had... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:12-20

All these verses, and the events recorded in them, are but a recapitulation of the history which we had before in Numbers 32:0 to which I refer. I shall only, therefore, detain the Reader with observing, that the conduct of the Reubenites and Gadites, which called forth the reproof of Moses upon that occasion, savored of what is but too often discoverable now among the LORD'S heritage, I mean a love of indolence and rest, while Zion is in warfare. Moses, of all men, had an undoubted right to... read more
