申命記 2:2-9 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:2-3

When Israel, after their long and disheartening wandering, were at the southeastern end of the 'Arabah, God gave them the word to turn their march northward towards Canaan. The route they pursued was along the eastern boundary of Edom (comp. Numbers 21:10 , etc.). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:4

It would appear that the Edomites made preparations to resist the passage of the Israelites through their territory ( Numbers 20:18-20 ). As the Israelites, however, kept on the outskirts of their country, and did not attempt to penetrate into the interior, the Edomites did not attack them or seek to hinder their progress. The Israelites, on the other hand, were strictly forbidden to invade that country in a hostile manner; they were to watch over themselves, so as not to be tempted to make... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:4-20

Edom, Moab, Ammon. The Israelites are strictly enjoined not to molest these three peoples, or to attempt to rob them of any portion of their territory. The ground of this injunction is that God had given them the territory they possessed, and had not given it to the Israelites. Additional reasons why Israel was not to molest them lay in the facts that they were kinsmen ( Deuteronomy 2:4 ) and that Israel was amply provided for already ( Deuteronomy 2:7 ). God's people have little... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:5

Meddle not with them ; literally, Excite not yourself against them , i . e . so as to strive in battle with them; comp. the use of the verb in Jeremiah 1:1-19 :24, "hast striven" (Authorized Version); Daniel 11:25 (where מִלְחָמָה , war, is added), "shall be stirred up to battle" (Authorized Version). Accordingly, they were enjoined to buy from them for money food and water as they required. Two different words in the Hebrew are rendered here by "buy" in the Authorized Version;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:7

They were enabled to buy what they required— For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand ; their flocks and herds had increased during their wanderings ( Numbers 32:1 ); and they may have gained wealth by cultivating the soil at places where they had made a lengthened sojourn, or by traffic with the tribes of the desert with whom they came in contact. Jehovah their God had known —had noted, observed, had regard to, had cared for (setup. Genesis 39:6 ; Psalms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:8

And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we , etc. Rather, And we passed by from (away from) our brethren the sons of Esau , who dwelt in Self , from (off from, i . e . alongside, but at some distance from) the way of the ' Arabah , from (off from) Elath and from Ezion-geber . And so, in obedience to the Divine command, the Israelites passed from the territory of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:9

The Moabites, being the descendants of Lot , and so allied by race to the Israelites, the latter were commanded to pass through their country without offering them any injury or assault. Ar, a border-town of Moab ( Numbers 21:15 ), here put for the country itself. It is the Areopolis of the Greeks, and was, as Jerome tells us, destroyed in a single night by an earthquake. A hill with ruins a short distance southwest from Ara'ir, is supposed to be its site. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 2:1-3

Deuteronomy 2:1 seems to refer in general terms to the long years of wandering, the details of which were not for Moses’ present purpose. The command of Deuteronomy 2:2-3 relates to their journey from Kadesh to Mount Hor Numbers 20:22; Numbers 33:37, and directs their march around to the southern extremity of Mount Seir, so as to “compass the land of Edom” Judges 11:18; Numbers 21:4, and so northward toward the Arnon, i. e., “by the way of the wilderness of Moab,” Deuteronomy 2:8. This... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 2:4

Compare the marginal reference. Though the Edomites resisted the passage through the midst of their land, they did not, and probably could not, oppose the “passing through the coast” or along their eastern frontier. read more
