The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:3

Not bread, but God's Word. The lesson of the manna gathered up into one concise sentence. It teaches us— I. TO SEE GOD IN SECONDARY CAUSES . The Word of God is as truly the creative and nourishing principle in ordinary bread as it was in the extraordinary supply of manna. It is not bread, as something subsisting independently, but bread as the product of Divine power, and as possessing properties which the Word of God imparts to it and upholds in it, which is the staff of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:4

As the manna furnished by God's creative power saved them from hunger, so by God's providence and care their raiment was marvelously kept from decay, and they had not to go barefoot from their sandals being worn out. Waxed not old upon thee; literally, d i d not fall away , waste away from upon thee . This cannot mean that such was the abundant supply of raiment to the Israelites in the Arabian desert, that there was no need for them to wear garments rent and tattered from long use, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:5

Thus God educated, disciplined, and trained his people as a father does his child. Chasteneth . The idea is not so much that of punishment or chastisement , properly so called, as that of severe discipline and training . God made them feel his hand upon them, but ever for their good; the end of the discipline to which they were subjected was that they might keep his commandments and walk in his ways, so as to enjoy his favor (cf. Hebrews 12:5 , etc.). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:5

God the Chastener. I. CHASTISEMENT IS A NECESSITY OF OUR MORAL NATURE . He is no wise parent who spares the rod when the good of the child requires that chastisement be administered. Gentler methods failing, the undutiful son ought to be chastised, he deserves it. He needs the discipline. It acts wholesomely upon him, awakening conscience, begetting respect for paternal authority, deterring from evil, leading probably to penitence and submission. II. CHASTISEMENT... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 8:3

But by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord - literally, “every outgoing of the mouth of the Lord.” Compare Deuteronomy 29:5-6. The term “word” is inserted by the King James Version after the Septuagint, which is followed by Matthew and Luke (see the marginal references). On the means of subsistence available to the people during the wandering, see Numbers 20:1 note. The lesson was taught, that it is not nature which nourishes man, but God the Creator by and through nature:... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 8:4

They had clothes, it would seem, in abundance (compare Exodus 12:34-35) at the beginning of the 40 years; and during those years they had many sheep and oxen, and so must have had much material for clothing always at command. No doubt also they carried on a traffic in these, as in other commodities, with the Moabites and the nomadic tribes of the desert. Such ordinary supplies must not be shut out of consideration, even if they were on occasions supplemented by extraordinary providences of God,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 8:1

Deuteronomy 8:1. That ye may live Comfortably and prosperously, for life, in the Scripture phrase, signifies more than bare life, namely, happiness and prosperity, Genesis 17:18; 1 Samuel 25:6; Leviticus 25:36; 1 Thessalonians 3:8. On the other hand, afflictions and calamities are called death, Exodus 10:17, and 2 Corinthians 11:23. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 8:2

Deuteronomy 8:2. Thou shalt remember Call to mind and meditate upon the wisdom and goodness of God toward thee, and the power exerted on thy behalf. All the way which the Lord led thee All the events which befell thee in the way, the miraculous protections, deliverances, provisions, instructions, which God gave thee; and withal, the severe punishments of thy disobedience. To know what was in thy heart That thou mightest discover thyself, and manifest to others, the infidelity,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 8:3

Deuteronomy 8:3. By every word of the Lord doth man live By every, or any thing which God appoints and blesses for this end, how unlikely soever it may seem to be for the support and nourishment of the human frame. For it is not the creature, without God, that is sufficient for the support of life; it is only his command and blessing that makes it sufficient. We ought not, therefore, to fix our dependance, as we are prone to do, on natural causes, but to remember that we depend, absolutely,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 8:4

Deuteronomy 8:4. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee The common interpretation of these words is, that, by a constant miracle, their clothes did not so much as decay, nor their foot swell, or, as some render it, grow callous, by so long travelling in hot and stony places. But Le Clerc thinks “it is hardly to be imagined that Moses, whose principal intention was to record the miracles which God wrought for the Israelites in the wilderness, should have mentioned this so transiently, and,... read more
