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 18:6-8

There is a great tenderness manifested of the LORD'S attention in this precept, in the provision for the free-will service of the LORD'S ministers. Oh! do thou blessed SPIRIT, who hath the hearts of thy people at thy command, incline many such in our day to be instant in the work, to win souls to JESUS. 2 Timothy 4:1-2 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:8

Portion. Whence this was taken, whether from the tithes in general, or from the treasury of the temple, or from the revenue of the high priest, &c., does not appear. (Calmet) --- Fathers. The Levites might possess houses, suburbs, and cattle. (Menochius) --- Hebrew, "besides that which ariseth from the sale of his patrimony." (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:1-8

1-8 Care is taken that the priests entangle not themselves with the affairs of this life, nor enrich themselves with the wealth of this world; they have better things to mind. Care is likewise taken that they want not the comforts and conveniences of this life. The people must provide for them. He that has the benefit of solemn religious assemblies, ought to give help for the comfortable support of those that minister in such assemblies. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 18:1-8

The Dues of Priests and Levites v. 1. The priests, the Levites, the sons of the tribe of Levi, and all the tribe of Levi, the ministers known as the Levites proper, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel, Numbers 18:20; they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, Numbers 18:8-1 Samuel :, and His inheritance. v. 2. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord is their inheritance, as He hath said unto them. The inheritance of Jehovah, which was... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

the Prophet Who Was to Come Deuteronomy 18:1-22 Those that serve the altar may live by the altar. Let us not forget the needs of those who serve us in holy things. It is a blessed thing when an individual desires “the place that the Lord chooses.” Let us be true to the inner prompting, at whatever cost. We shall be fully repaid. When Peter loaned his boat Jesus returned it, filled with fish! We are to be “perfect with the Lord”- i.e., we are not knowingly to permit things that hurt or... read more
