Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

ISRAEL’S ELECTION, AND MOTIVES FOR FAITHFULNESSDeuteronomy 9:1-29; Deuteronomy 10:1-22; Deuteronomy 11:1-32THE remaining chapters of this special introduction to the statement of the actual laws beginning with chapter 12 contain also an earnest insistence upon other motives why Israel should remain true to the covenant of Yahweh. They are urged to this, not only because life both spiritual and physical depended upon it, as was shown in the trials of the wilderness, but they are also to lay it... read more

5. Warning Against Self-Righteousness and Their Previous Failures CHAPTERS 9:1-10:11 1. The warning (Deuteronomy 9:1-6 ) 2. The failures of the past (Deuteronomy 9:7-24 ) 3.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

THE SECOND GIVING OF THE LAW (vs.1-11) While Moses had spoken of events later than the giving of the law insist on the moral lessons of Israel's disobedience through the wilderness (ch.9:22-23), he returned in verse 25 to his intercession for Israel at the time of the giving of the law. Now he recalls God's instructions to hew two more tablets of stone (v.1), and bring them to the mountain of God. But He adds, "and make yourself an ark of wood." God would write the commandments again on... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

WARNING AND EXHORTATIONS OBEDIENCE (Deuteronomy 7:0 ) What were the names of the seven nations of Canaan to be cast out for their iniquity (Deuteronomy 7:1 )? Who would cast them out, and in what manner is the supernatural character of the act emphasized? Nevertheless, what illustrates the divine use of means (Deuteronomy 7:2 )? What command is laid on the Israelites in the premises (Deuteronomy 7:2-3 )? And why (Deuteronomy 7:4 )? To what extent should their zeal be exhibited, and why... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Educated Towards Spirituality Deuteronomy 10-11 How to introduce the spiritual element into all this instruction of an external and formal kind was the difficulty even of inspiration. We have felt all along that the speeches and instructions delivered to Israel meant, as to their purpose and issue, something that was not expressed. We now come to find an indication of that which is intensely spiritual. The method of its introduction is so it may be said, with reverence infinitely skilled.... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1

CONTENTS In the continuation of Moses' Sermon, the man of GOD, in this chapter, makes a beautiful digression from complaining, as in the former chapter, of Israel's rebellion, to remark in this the unmerited examples of the LORD'S mercy. He points out some evidences of it in restoring the tables; continuing the priesthood; separating the tribe of Levi; and regarding Moses' intercession for them. He takes occasion, from all these things, in the close of the chapter to exhort them to obedience. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1

Wood. Moses had received this injunction, before he ascended the mount the second time, Exodus xxv. 10. But he executed it only after he had received the second tables of the law, Exodus xxxvii. 1. (Menochius) --- Some pretend that the made an ark of setim-wood, to contain the tables, till Beseleel should have completed his, which was covered with gold, and inclosed the former. (Drusius) --- But this seems unnecessary. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

1-11 Moses reminded the Israelites of God's great mercy to them, notwithstanding their provocations. There were four things in and by which the Lord showed himself reconciled to Israel. God gave them his law. Thus God has intrusted us with Bibles, sabbaths, and sacraments, as tokens of his presence and favour. God led them forward toward Canaan. He appointed a standing ministry among them for holy things. And now, under the gospel, when the pouring forth of the Spirit is more plentiful and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

A Further Recital of Wilderness Events v. 1. At that time, when Moses was engaged in his earnest intercession for Israel, the Lord said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto Me into the mount, Exodus 34:1-:, and make thee an ark of wood, Exodus 25:10. Moses here, as often, groups events which belong together logically, even though this is not the chronological order. v. 2. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou... read more

Deuteronomy 10:1-221At that time the Lord said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3And I made an ark of shittim [acacia] wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having [and] the two tables in mine hand. 4And he wrote on the tables, according to... read more
