Green tree As the Gentiles consecrated divers trees to their false gods, so they worshipped these under them. Pillars Upon which their images were set. Names That is, all the memorials of them, and the very names given to the places from the idols. Not do so That is, not worship him in several places, mountains, and groves. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 12:1-28

12:1-26:19 DETAILED REGULATIONSIn keeping with the pattern of ancient covenant documents, the basic requirements and principles of the covenant (Chapters 5-11) are now followed by the detailed regulations (Chapters 12-26). However, Moses does not lay down these requirements with the harshness or impersonality of a formal law code. He announces them rather in the pastoral spirit of a preacher, appealing to God’s covenant family to respond to God’s grace with lives of loyalty to him and justice... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 12:1

Here we come to a major division in our study of Deuteronomy. Wright stated that Deuteronomy 12:1 "is the title of this section (Deuteronomy 12:12-28), and we do not encounter another major title until we come to Deuteronomy 29:1."[1] This strongly indicates that Moses considered this rather long section as a unit. Any orderly progression of the topics here considered is difficult to see, but, as Dummelow remarked: "As far as any orderly arrangement can be discovered, Deuteronomy 12-16 deals... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 12:2

Ver. 2. And under every green tree— The use of sacred groves for the celebration of mysteries is of very great antiquity, and, perhaps, of all others, the most universal. At first, there were in these groves neither temples nor altars; they were simple retreats, to which there was no access for the profane, i.e. such as were not devoted to the service of the gods. Afterwards they built chapels and temples in them: in future times they became extremely frequented on holidays; and, after the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 12:4

Ver. 4. Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God— That is, "Ye shall not adore him upon mountains, upon hills, and under every green tree; but you shall serve him publicly in one place which he shall choose." That this is the sense, appears from the following verse. Notwithstanding this prohibition, the sacred history shews us how prone the Israelites were to choose mountains and groves for the places of their worship, and therein to set up images, after the example of their heathen... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 12:1

1. These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe—Having in the preceding chapter inculcated upon the Israelites the general obligation to fear and love God, Moses here enters into a detail of some special duties they were to practise on their obtaining possession of the promised land. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 12:2

2. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods—This divine command was founded on the tendencies of human nature; for to remove out of sight everything that had been associated with idolatry, that it might never be spoken of and no vestige of it remain, was the only effectual way to keep the Israelites from temptations to it. It is observable that Moses does not make any mention of temples, for such buildings were not in existence at... read more
