申命記 13:1 JC

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

9. Warnings Against False Prophets and Their Punishment CHAPTER 13 1. The first case: The false prophet and dreamer (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 ) 2. The second case: Temptation to idolatry from blood-relations (Deuteronomy 13:6-11 ) 3. The third case: The apostasy of a city (Deuteronomy 13:12-18 ) Three cases are mentioned. The false prophet or a dreamer of dreams, who confirms his claims by a sign or a miracle, yet whose aim is to seduce to idolatry, is to be put to death. False teaching,... read more

L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

JUDGMENT OF FALSE PROPHETS (vs.1-11) Just as Paul warned the Ephesian elders that "savage wolves" would enter in among New Testament believers, and men from among themselves would teach perverted things to draw away disciples after them (Acts 20:29-30), so Moses warned Israel here of what might happen among them, and did happen. A prophet or dreamer of dreams might arise, prognosticating something about to happen and using this to back up his leading others to serve idols. The thing that he... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

CONDITIONS OF BLESSING PLACES OF WORSHIP (Deuteronomy 12:0 ) In Canaan, what were the Israelites to destroy and how thoroughly was the work to be done (Deuteronomy 12:1-3 )? What contrast were they to place between themselves and the heathen in public worship (Deuteronomy 12:4-7 )? Did this apply to the same extent in the wilderness, and if not, why not (Deuteronomy 12:8-14 )? What exception was made as to their private and domestic affairs (Deuteronomy 12:15-16 )? What were they not at... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 13:1-18

Danger and Security Deuteronomy 13:0 This passage, by the inspiration of God, touches upon all the possible points of danger in a religious course. Suppose, for the moment, we do not admit the inspiration, still there remains the fact that in a book so old as Deuteronomy some master hand has touched the three great points of vital danger in religious progress. We bow to genius: we acknowledge power: we say it is but decent to uncover the head in the presence of superiority; bound by this law,... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1

CONTENTS This Chapter is a continuation of the same subject as the former. Particular and special precepts are contained in it to arm against the motives to idolatry; the persons tempting to it are to be stoned, and even the cities where this sin is committed, are to be razed to the earth. Deuteronomy 13:1 To those who know not the deceitfulness of the human heart, or the melancholy state of blindness and ignorance to which we are fallen, the precept in this verse may appear strange. But... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1

If....a prophet, or even an angel from heaven, as St. Paul (Galatians i. 8,) says on a similar occasion, (Calmet) should work a miracle, and afterwards adduce it in proof of a false religion, believe him not. The Jews and Christians had already received such convincing proofs from God, of the truth of what they had been taught, that they had reason to conclude either that the miracle was false, or that the person who would persuade them to embrace a different religion had fallen, after God had... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:1-5

1-5 Moses had cautioned against the peril that might arise from the Canaanites. Here he cautions against the rise of idolatry among themselves. It is needful for us to be well acquainted with the truths and precepts of the Bible; for we may expect to be proved by temptations of evil under the appearance of good, of error in the guise of truth; nor can any thing rightly oppose such temptations, but the plain, express testimony of God's word to the contrary. And it would be a proof of sincere... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 13:1-5

Of False Prophets in General v. 1. If there arise among you, in your midst, a prophet, one pretending to be sent by the Lord, or a dreamer of dreams, (the latter were mediums through which the Lord had promised to make known His will, Numbers 12:6), and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, for the servants of Satan, with God's permission, are also able to show great signs and wonders, Matthew 24:24, v. 2. and the sign or the wonder come to pass whereof he spake unto thee, since the power of... read more
