The Second CommandDeuteronomy 9:1 to Deuteronomy 11:32Deuteronomy 9:1-29.1Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass1 over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven. 2A people great [mighty] and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak? 3Understand therefore [And thou understandest] this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:1-14

Offending the Righteous God Deuteronomy 9:1-14 Who can read this chapter without emotion and admiration for its sublime eloquence! It is one of the most striking and moving chapters in this book! Moses sets himself to convince the people that they must not suppose that their easy entrance to Canaan was due to conspicuous virtue, but rather to God’s covenant with their fathers, and also to the sinful practices of the Canaanites. Compare Deuteronomy 9:5 with Genesis 15:16 . The contagion of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

It is interesting to note that as the final announcement of their approaching entrance to the land was made the difficulties which the people had faced at Kadesh-barnea were recognized as still confronting them, and they were shown that these difficulties were not difficulties to God. Moses also insisted that they were not being taken into the land because of their righteousness but as the instruments of God's government of the world. The truth so declared was further emphasized by a... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 9:7-12

The Evidence Is Now Given That They Are A Stiffnecked People (Deuteronomy 9:7-29 ). Taking up from Deuteronomy 9:6 he now establishes that they are a stiffnecked people. It may be argued that the sins which will now be described were mainly of their parents, and that is true, but some of them were certainly willingly involved as youngsters, and they would not have denied their collective responsibility for the sins of their fathers, which tended to be reproduced in themselves. Furthermore... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 9:7-28

Deuteronomy 9:7 b– Deuteronomy 10:11 (or Deuteronomy 10:9). Narrative of the legislation on Mount Horeb; for the purpose apparently of illustrating Deuteronomy 9:7 a. This historical survey suddenly thrust into a hortatory context closely resembles Deuteronomy 1-3, and is thought by Horst and Bertholet to be by the same author. They agree with Steuernagel (who, however, says its closest affinities are with Deuteronomy 5) in holding it to be an interpolation here. But surely the history in... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

As we have told you the word Deuteronomy means the second law. It is really a rehearsal, sort of a capsulation by Moses of the law that was given. Deuteronomy itself, though it covers the forty years from Egypt to the entering in of the Promised Land, covered only about forty days, as far as the time of it being given to the children of Israel.Moses was now an aging man, however he was still very spry. He still had excellent eyesight, excellent hearing, none of his forces had abated. Sometimes... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

Deuteronomy 9:1 . This day; at this time, or in the course of a month. Day is often used in scripture for the whole of a man’s life, for a season, and for a short time. Deuteronomy 9:19 . I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure. To this text St. Paul refers, Hebrews 12:21. The fire on mount Sinai terrified the people at the promulgation of the law; but we do not read that Moses was terrified till God testified his anger by some most vivid appearance of the fire because of the... read more
