G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

Under the Mosaic law certain persons were excluded from worship and others from the camp. Any who in any way violated the requirements of personal perfection in physical matters were not to be allowed to stand I' among the worshipers. Both the actually maimed and such as were the direct issue of sin were excluded. The Moabite and Ammonite were excluded to the tenth generation because of their refusal to help the people of God in the time of their need and their attempt to harm them in the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 23:19-23

Covenant Matters and Honest Dealings (Deuteronomy 23:19-25 ). The section on what should be welcomed and what should not was then followed by the approach to covenant responsibilities fulfilled out of honest goodness; such as not taking from the poor interest on loans (Deuteronomy 23:19-20), not taking from God was has been avowed to Him (Deuteronomy 23:21-23), and not taking from their neighbours what belongs to them (Deuteronomy 23:24-25).

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

Chapter 23In chapter twenty-three, we find those that were restricted from coming into the temple. Eunuchs were forbidden in the temple.An Ammonite or Moabite was forbidden unto the tenth generation, for their failure to help the children of Israel during their wilderness experiences, and because they hired Balaam to curse them. And you're not to seek their peace or their prosperity. However an Edomite; being the descendents of Esau: and the Egyptians; because you were a stranger in their land.... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

Deuteronomy 23:1 . Shall not enter the congregation. Eunuchs might worship there, as appears from the viiith of Acts; but they could not hold any office. In regard to devotion, God has promised the pious Eunuch a place in his house, and a name better than that of sons and of daughters. Isaiah 56:5. Deuteronomy 23:3 . An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the congregation. The crime of Baal-peor was a very awful breach; and to this day we find certain crimes of ancestors deeply to... read more

Deuteronomy 23:22If thou shalt forbear to vow.Extraordinary and particular vows considered as not necessary under the Mosaic or expedient under the Christian institutionI. The nature of vows under the Jewish dispensation: which, as they are particularly voluntary engagements, we ought to observe when made, though we cannot infer a necessity of making them from the Divine law or the nature of things. It would seem but an ill consequence should we thus argue: God has commanded us in general to... read more
