L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

GOD: MAJESTIC AND FAITHFUL (vs.l-4) In these four verses the introduction of this song of Moses is both magnificent and beautiful. The heavens and the earth are called to hear the faithful words from the mouth of the Lord. His teaching drops as the rain, not like a cloudburst, but as the refreshing, nourishing dew on the land or as showers on the grass. How well it would be with us if we received it as such, appreciating its living value and refreshment. For it begins, not with what we may... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-43

THE CLOSE OF MOSES ’ LIFE ENCOURAGEMENT (Deuteronomy 31:1-8 ) The law has been rehearsed and Moses’ exhortation is drawing to a conclusion. Several days may have been occupied in the review covered by Deuteronomy thus far. And now, Israel, by its leaders, having been gathered together at the place of meeting, Moses is apprising them of his imminent departure. Though advanced in years (Deuteronomy 31:2 ), was he conscious of mental or physical decay (Deuteronomy 34:7 )? Can you perceive a... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

The Song of Moses Deuteronomy 32:0 What interest can we have in the study of events which occurred thousands of years ago? If that is the question which we put to ourselves, no wonder the answer is sometimes disappointing. We do not study the events which happened thousands of years ago. That would be too narrow a way of putting the case; we might then be mere antiquarians, deeply interested in something that transpired innumerable centuries since. We are not studying the events. We are... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:11-12

The figure here made use of, of the eagle, is uncommonly beautiful and striking; and especially, if, as some naturalists have said, the eagle, not only protects, feeds, and nourisheth her young, but is much engaged in instructing them. The young eagles, like other young birds, are much disposed to sleep in their nests: but the old eagle stirs them up. When they are awakened she flutters over them, as if to teach them the use of their wings. And as if this was not enough, she carries them on her... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:7-14

7-14 Moses gives particular instances of God's kindness and concern for them. The eagle's care for her young is a beautiful emblem of Christ's love, who came between Divine justice and our guilty souls, and bare our sins in his own body on the tree. And by the preached gospel, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, He stirs up and prevails upon sinners to leave Satan's bondage. In ver. Deuteronomy 32:13; Deuteronomy 32:14, are emblems of the conquest believers have over their spiritual enemies,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 32:1-18

Israel's Position and Apostasy v. 1. Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth! Heaven and earth are not only called upon as witnesses in the event of Israel's future apostasy, but they are concerned also inasmuch as God's faithfulness and righteousness are revealed in heaven and in earth, the entire universe being filled by every exhibition of His glory. v. 2. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, the gentle and persistent rain which brings forth fruit... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-14

Moses’ Song: the Lord’s Favor upon Israel Deuteronomy 31:30 ; Deuteronomy 32:1-14 The song of Moses, like the fabled song of the swan, was his last and sweetest. It is probably the noblest ode in the whole compass of the Bible, and is the source from which subsequent singers derived suggestions for their noblest outbursts. The marginal references prove how deeply it dyed the national sentiment. It excels in the names and designations of the Almighty. He is the Rock: Deuteronomy 31:4 ;... read more
