Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

Imperative and Desirable Changes Deuteronomy 1:6 ' The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb.' And He has been saying it at intervals ever since to communities and families and individuals, and often to their pain and wonder. I. On one side of our human nature we are never satisfied, always craving for enlargement and novelty. But on another side we are satisfied far too easily; we want to settle down in comfort, to be undisturbed, to rest and be content with the amount of knowledge we have, or... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

THE DIVINE GOVERNMENTDeuteronomy 1:1-46; Deuteronomy 2:1-37; Deuteronomy 3:1-29AFTER these preliminary discussions we now enter upon the exposition. With the exception of the first two verses of chapter 1, concerning which there is a doubt whether they do not belong to Numbers, these three chapters stand out as the first section of our book. Examination shows that they form a separate and distinct whole, not continued in chapter 4; but there has been a great diversity of opinion as to their... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 1:6-46

2. From Horeb to Kadesh 1. The command to go in and to possess the land (Deuteronomy 1:6-8 ) 2. The appointment of judges reviewed (Deuteronomy 1:9-18 ) 3. The failure to possess the land (Deuteronomy 1:19-33 ) 4. The judgment of God (Deuteronomy 1:34-46 ) In the beginning of our annotations we must guard once more against the misleading conception, that the book of Deuteronomy is nothing but a rehearsal of previous history. On account of this wrong estimate, the book has not received... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

THE COMMAND TO LEAVE HOREB (vs.1-8) In Numbers 32:1-42 Israel is seen to remain in the area east of Jordan long enough for the two and a half tribes to build cities. Thus God required no haste as to their entering the land. These addresses of Moses in Deuteronomy were delivered at that time, spoken to "all Israel" (v.1). Moses must have maintained a powerful voice (at age 120 years) to be able to make possible 3,000.000 people hear him! Verse 2 tells that from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

REVIEW OF ISRAEL ’S HISTORY A book written by Canon Bernard entitled The Progress of Doctrine in the New Testament, shows not only that the contents of its books are inspired, but their arrangement and order as well. The same might be said of the Old Testament, especially of the Pentateuch. To illustrate, the purpose of the Bible is to give the history of redemption through a special seed. In Genesis we have the election of that seed (Abraham), in Exodus their redemption, in Leviticus their... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

Remarkable Things Deu 1:6 This is the first remarkable thing in the opening chapter of the fifth book of Moses. God knows, then, how long we have been here or there. Our downsitting and our uprising, our going out and our coming in, are of consequence to him who made us. He keeps the time: he knows when we have been "long enough" in one place. He does not always consult us, saying, in terms of affectionate inquiry, Would you desire to tarry longer here? would it suit you to remain another... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:12

It is sweetly, said of JESUS, in his unequalled undertaking, "that of the people there was none with him." Isaiah 63:3 . Oh! thou precious bearer of the burdens of thy people! may I never lose sight of thee in this soul-strengthening character. Isaiah 53:4 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:9-18

9-18 Moses reminds the people of the happy constitution of their government, which might make them all safe and easy, if it was not their own fault. He owns the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham, and prays for the further accomplishment of it. We are not straitened in the power and goodness of God; why should we be straitened in our own faith and hope? Good laws were given to the Israelites, and good men were to see to the execution of them, which showed God's goodness to them, and the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 1:9-18

The Assistants of Moses v. 9. And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone. Moses does not observe the chronological order of events, but selects such as were of importance for his present purpose. It was while the people were encamped at Horeb that Moses arranged for assistants, Exodus 18:13-Ezekiel :. The seventy elders were appointed at a later date, Numbers 11:14-Amos :. v. 10. The Lord, your God, hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as... read more
