申命記 9:8 JCB

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

Criticisms and Cautions Deuteronomy 9:0 The expression of the first verse brings to our mind the truth that in life there are many days which are so special that they stand out by themselves, points of history, glittering aspects of time. Moses says, "Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over Jordan this day." Life focalises itself in a mere point. The preparation may be long and tedious, so much so as to tax our patience and sometimes throw our faith into sore vexation and trouble; but when God's... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:8

Here the man of GOD particulariseth the instances of Israel's rebellion. Horeb, of all places, should have called forth obedience. For there the LORD confirmed the authority of his holy law, by the awful demonstration of the mount burning with fire. But alas!, neither the mount burning with fire, nor all the threatenings of everlasting burning, can deter from the commission of sin, unless Almighty grace restrain. Reader! do you know this? do you really believe, it? If not, may He who alone can... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 9:7-29

7-29 That the Israelites might have no pretence to think that God brought them to Canaan for their righteousness, Moses shows what a miracle of mercy it was, that they had not been destroyed in the wilderness. It is good for us often to remember against ourselves, with sorrow and shame, our former sins; that we may see how much we are indebted to free grace, and may humbly own that we never merited any thing but wrath and the curse at God's hand. For so strong is our propensity to pride, that... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 9:7-29

Instances of Rebellious Behavior. In support of the term "stiff-necked people," which he had just applied to the children of Israel, Moses now adduces a few incidents from the wilderness journey. v. 7. Remember and forget not how thou provokedst the Lord, thy God, to wrath in the wilderness, their rebelliousness had been a constant challenge to the wrath of God; from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt until ye came unto this place ye have been rebellious against the... 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
