14. The Rights of the Priests and the Levites, the True and the False Prophet CHAPTER 18 1. The rights of the priests and Levites (Deuteronomy 18:1-8 ) 2. Forbidden things (Deuteronomy 18:9-14 ) 3. The true and the false prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15-22 ) The priests, the Levites, were the servants of Jehovah and had no inheritance with Israel, but Jehovah Himself was their inheritance. How the people were to minister unto them is now commanded by Moses. They were both dependent on the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

PRIESTS AND LEVITES: THEIR DUE (vs.1-8) The proper support of the priests and Levites is again insisted on. Since they were given no inheritance in the land, and were separated to care for the interests of God among the people, then they were entitled to eat of the offerings that Israel made to the Lord (vs.1-2). this portion of the offerings consisted of the shoulders, the cheeks and the stomach of a bull or sheep. This was not from the burn offerings, which were all offered to the Lord in... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

FURTHER CONDITIONS OF BLESSING THE JUDGE AND THE KING (Deuteronomy 17:0 ) In the preceding chapter, Deuteronomy 16:18 , provision was made for judges and other officers of the civil law. They were to hold court in the gates of the cities, the place of ingress and egress, for the cities were walled. This idea of judges sitting in the gates still lingers in the Orient and gives significance to the Mohammedan terms Ottoman Porte and Sublime Porte. Review the preceding chapter and observe the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

The Predicted Prophet Deu 18:15-22 A wonderful desire is this no marvel that it elicited divine commendation: "Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not" ( Deu 18:16 ). On hearing these words the Lord himself said, "They have well spoken that which they have spoken" ( Deu 18:17 ). The divinity that is in a man seems to lie a long way down. Great circumstances are required really to rouse a man that he may see for a... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:9-14

It is wonderful to observe, how much Moses was led to speak to the people against the idolatry of the neighboring nations around them. As if the LORD meant to convey by the frequency of his precepts on this subject, the extreme jealousy he had for his honour. I cannot help adding, from the view here given of GOD'S displeasure, at the pretended diviners of what is to come, how cautious our children should be made of listening to the pretended prognostications of modern fortune-tellers. Alas!... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:11

Charmer of serpents, Psalm lvii. 6. One who makes a compact with the devil. --- Spirits. Python was the name of the serpent which Apollo slew. It might be derived from the Hebrew patah, "to seduce," because a serpent seduced Eve, and dealers with the devil generally deceived those who consult them. Septuagint, "a belly talker," as these impostors muttered some sounds, imitating that a spirit gave answers from their belly, See Isaias xxix. 4. --- Tellers. Hebrew, "wise men." (Haydock) ---... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:9-14

9-14 Was it possible that a people so blessed with Divine institutions, should ever be in any danger of making those their teachers whom God had made their captives? They were in danger; therefore, after many like cautions, they are charged not to do after the abominations of the nations of Canaan. All reckoning of lucky or unlucky days, all charms for diseases, all amulets or spells to prevent evil, fortune-telling, &c. are here forbidden. These are so wicked as to be a chief cause of the... read more

Warning Against Heathen Abominations v. 9. When thou art come into the land which the Lord, thy God, giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations, those customs which the Lord particularly abhorred and loathed. v. 10. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, as the worshipers of Moloch, or Molech, did, or that useth divination, to uncover the future, Numbers 23:23, or an observer of times, a... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Deuteronomy 18:9-22

Deuteronomy PROPHETS AND THE PROPHET Deu_18:9 - Deu_18:22 . It is evident from the connection in which the promise of ‘a prophet like unto Moses’ is here introduced that it does not refer to Jesus only; for it is presented as Israel’s continuous defence against the temptation of seeking knowledge of the divine will by the illegitimate methods of divination, soothsaying, necromancy, and the like, which were rampant among the inhabitants of the land. A distant hope of a prophet in the far-off... read more
