Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 7:20

(20) The hornet.—To be understood literally. (See on Deuteronomy 1:44, and Joshua 24:12.) The “land flowing with (milk and) honey” may well have swarmed with bees and hornets. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

Growing Great Ideas Deuteronomy 7:9 How to begin to teach the supreme ideas of time and space, and God and heaven, and eternity; that is the subject. We are familiar with these great words, so familiar indeed with them that we think nothing about them. We thus ruin ourselves by reading religious books and going to religious services. Nothing so ruinous as going to church, if we do not go in the right spirit and with adequate intelligence of the meaning of the act. I know nothing so really bad... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

THE BANDeuteronomy 7:1-26As in the previous chapter we have had the Mosaic and Deuteronomic statement of the internal and spiritual means of defending the Israelite character and faith from the temptations which the conquest in Canaan would bring with it, in this we have strenuous provision made against the same evil by external means. The mind first was to be fortified against the temptation to fall away: then the external pressure from the example of the peoples they were to conquer was to be... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

3. The Possession of the Land and Their Separation CHAPTER 7 1. The command to destroy the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 7:1-4 ) 2. The command to destroy their idolatry (Deuteronomy 7:5-11 ) 3. The promise of blessing and help (Deuteronomy 7:12-26 ) Seven nations are mentioned as occupying the land, which God gave to Israel. These nations were steeped in the most awful licentiousness and practised the vilest abominations. There are different reasons to believe that Satan possessed them in a... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Deuteronomy 7:20

7:20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the {h} hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.(h) There is not a creature so small, that I will not arm it to fight on your side against them. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

ISRAEL SEPARATED TO GOD (vs.1-11) Again the Lord emphasizes the importance of Israel's sanctification from the nations. When they entered the land, God would give them victory over the inhabitants, as He had promised, seven nations greater and mightier than they (v.1). But on Israel's part there was to be no mercy shown to these enemies. They were to utterly destroy them (v.2). This is a picture of believers today being responsible to destroy the deception of evil spirits in opposing the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

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 7:1-26

Prohibitions Deuteronomy 7:0 This chapter might be so read as to give great offence. There is in it a tone of pitilessness. The whole chapter is a vengeful speech. The chapter is charged with partiality on the part of God towards one nation, as though other nations were self-created or had been fashioned by inferior deities, and were worthy of nothing but contempt and destruction. Who made the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:17-20

Here again, as before, Israel is reminded of GOD'S former mercies, as the surest encouragement to the expectation of future favors. Reader! I pray you mark it down in the history of your own life-the mercy I need tomorrow is best ensured in the mercy I received yesterday. Remember what was before said: "Know, therefore, that the LORD thy GOD he is GOD, the faithful GOD. He is, he will be, faithful." And nothing so sweet, as to look back and trace proofs of it, as we have come along the path of... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:19

Plagues. Hebrew, "trials." God manifested by this means the latent dispositions of the Egyptians, while he punished their wickedness at the same time. (Haydock) read more
