Deutéronome 22:12 BDS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

LAWS OF PURITY (CHASTITY AND MARRIAGE)IN dealing with the ten commandments it has been already shown that, though these great statements of religious and moral truth were to some extent inadequate as expressions of the highest life, they yet contained the living germs of all that has followed. But we cannot suppose that the reality of Israelite life from the first corresponded with them. They contained much that only the experience and teaching of ages could fully bring to light; therefore we... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:8-30

LAWS OF KINDNESSWITH the commands we now have to consider, we leave altogether the region of strict law, and enter entirely upon that of aspiration and of feeling. Kindness, by its very nature, eludes the rude compulsion of law, properly so called. It ceases to be kindness when it loses spontaneity and freedom. Precept, therefore, not law, is the utmost that any lawgiver can give in respect to it; and this is precisely what we have in Deuteronomy, so far as it endeavors to incite men to... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

18. Against Inhumanity and Different Violations, False Testimony and Sins of Adultery CHAPTER 22 1. Laws against inhumanity (Deuteronomy 22:1-12 ) 2. Concerning false testimony (Deuteronomy 22:13-21 ) 3. Sins of adultery (Deuteronomy 22:22-30 ) Laws on the second table are now more fully expounded by Moses. The love to the neighbor is to be expressed by guarding and preserving that which is his property. The strayed and fallen animal belonging to another had to be helped. To leave them... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

LAWS THAT TEST TRUE DISCERNMENT (vs.1-12) The laws in this section require a proper consideration of God's creation, whether of humans, animals, birds or even inanimate things. This involves our discernment of things from God's viewpoint. If someone's ox or sheep went astray, then one who saw this was responsible to see that it was brought back to its owner (v 1). If the owner was not known, the finder was to keep the animal until he found its owner (v.2). This is just as proper today as it... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

VARIOUS REGULATIONS EXPIATION OF INNOCENT BLOOD (Deuteronomy 21:1-9 ) These ceremonies showed the sanctity associated with human life. The “rough valley” of verse 4 is in the Revised Version “running water,” and the whole was calculated to lead to the discovery of criminals and repress crime. FEMALE CAPTIVES (Deuteronomy 21:10-14 ) These regulations were to improve the usages of the nations concerning the capture of females in war. A month was the period of mourning among the Jews, and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:9-12

Similar commands we meet with in Leviticus 19:19 . Certainly there must have been somewhat of a spiritual meaning couched under these things; and what more likely to be intended by it, than that the heart should not be sown with diverse doctrine's: that the man who plows spiritually, should not mingle anything idolatrous with the true worship of the GOD of Israel: and put not on the woollen garment of his own poor righteousness, with the linen robe of GOD'S righteousness. Precious JESUS! do I... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:5-12

5-12 God's providence extends itself to the smallest affairs, and his precepts do so, that even in them we may be in the fear of the Lord, as we are under his eye and care. Yet the tendency of these laws, which seem little, is such, that being found among the things of God's law, they are to be accounted great things. If we would prove ourselves to be God's people, we must have respect to his will and to his glory, and not to the vain fashions of the world. Even in putting on our garments, as... read more

Various Minor Regulations v. 1. Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them, by acting as though one did not see and knew nothing of the matter, Exodus 23:4; thou shalt in any case, most certainly, bring them again unto thy brother. v. 2. And if thy brother, the member of the Israelitish nation, be not nigh unto thee, if he does not live in the immediate neighborhood, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it, the lost animal, unto thine... read more
