申命記 2:9-15 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:10-12

The mention of the Moabites gives occasion to the author to introduce some notices of the ancient inhabitants of Edom and Moab. In Moab dwelt, in the earlier times, the Emim, a giant race, potent and numerous, like the 'Anakim. They were also, like the 'Anakim reckoned among the Rephaim, but were by the Moabites called Emim. The word Emim means frightful, and was given to these men probably because of their huge stature and fierce aspect. Anakims (see Deuteronomy 1:28 ). Rephaim seems... read more

The Emims, Horims, Zamzummins, etc. If these verses are part of the context of the original speech, and not a later insertion, they must be viewed as scraps of history introduced to encourage the Israelites in their work of conquest, and to dispel their apprehensions by showing what had been done by others. They suggest— I. THAT THE PRESENT MAY LEARN FROM THE PAST . History, sacred and secular, is a powerful influence in forming the characters of the living race. The... read more

The brook Zered ; either the stream of the Wady cf. Ahsy (Robinson, 2.157; Ritter, 3.78), or that of the Wady Kerab (Keil, Kurz, etc.); see Numbers 21:11 , and Smith's 'Dictionary.' 3.1842. This brook formed the boundary line between Edom and Moab, and was the limit of Israel's wanderings in the wilderness. They crossed it thirty-eight years after the doom had been pronounced upon them at Kadesh, and during that period the entire generation of those who had rebelled had died out. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:13-15

Deuteronomy 2:13 connects with Deuteronomy 2:9 , the intermediate verses being a parenthesis, introduced for the purpose of reminding the Israelites that the Edomites and Moabites had received their territory by gift from God, the earlier inhabitants having been cast out by him that they might take their lands (see Deuteronomy 2:21-23 ). There is no need, therefore, for the insertion "I said," in Deuteronomy 2:13 ; the words are those of Jehovah, not of Moses. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:14

Men of war ; those of age sufficient to go forth to war, viz. twenty y. ears old and upwards ( Numbers 1:3 ; Numbers 14:29 ). These, as the responsible transgressors, all perished; the whole generation passed away, and was consumed ( תֹּן ; cf. Deuteronomy 5:15 ; Psalms 73:19 ), as God had sworn ( Numbers 14:28 , Numbers 14:29 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:14-15

Dying out. These thirty-eight years form a melancholy parenthesis in the history of Israel. A death-silence reigns in the narrative in regard to them. The ninetieth Psalm is apparently a memorial of them—the dirge of Moses over the fallen. One or two incidents, and a few laws in Numbers may belong to this period; otherwise we have only these brief epitaph verses. As here described, they form a fitting image of godless existence generally.— I. IN ITS WAST OF HISTORY . History... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:14-18

The wasting of the warriors. There was evidently a considerable knowledge of " the art of war" in the Israelitish host on leaving Egypt. Moses was versed in it, as in so much more, and the mixed multitude which accompanied the exodus would also contain men skilled in arms. And experience of opposition on the part of Amalek, etc; would elicit a martial spirit throughout the host. Moreover, the presence of seasoned men, or " veterans ," gives confidence to young troops in actual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:15

For indeed ; rather, And also ; not by natural causes alone, but by the hand of God, i . e . by special penal judgments also, were they troubled and destroyed (cf. Numbers 16:31 , etc.; Numbers 17:12 , Numbers 17:13 ; Numbers 21:6 ; Numbers 25:1-9 ). read more
