Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 1:6-46

2. From Horeb to Kadesh 1. The command to go in and to possess the land (Deuteronomy 1:6-8 ) 2. The appointment of judges reviewed (Deuteronomy 1:9-18 ) 3. The failure to possess the land (Deuteronomy 1:19-33 ) 4. The judgment of God (Deuteronomy 1:34-46 ) In the beginning of our annotations we must guard once more against the misleading conception, that the book of Deuteronomy is nothing but a rehearsal of previous history. On account of this wrong estimate, the book has not received... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

THE COMMAND TO LEAVE HOREB (vs.1-8) In Numbers 32:1-42 Israel is seen to remain in the area east of Jordan long enough for the two and a half tribes to build cities. Thus God required no haste as to their entering the land. These addresses of Moses in Deuteronomy were delivered at that time, spoken to "all Israel" (v.1). Moses must have maintained a powerful voice (at age 120 years) to be able to make possible 3,000.000 people hear him! Verse 2 tells that from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

REVIEW OF ISRAEL ’S HISTORY A book written by Canon Bernard entitled The Progress of Doctrine in the New Testament, shows not only that the contents of its books are inspired, but their arrangement and order as well. The same might be said of the Old Testament, especially of the Pentateuch. To illustrate, the purpose of the Bible is to give the history of redemption through a special seed. In Genesis we have the election of that seed (Abraham), in Exodus their redemption, in Leviticus their... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

Remarkable Things Deu 1:6 This is the first remarkable thing in the opening chapter of the fifth book of Moses. God knows, then, how long we have been here or there. Our downsitting and our uprising, our going out and our coming in, are of consequence to him who made us. He keeps the time: he knows when we have been "long enough" in one place. He does not always consult us, saying, in terms of affectionate inquiry, Would you desire to tarry longer here? would it suit you to remain another... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:19-46

I did not think it needful to stop the Reader with any observations which arise out of these verses, having already dwelt upon the subject in the Commentary on the 13th and 14th Chapters of the Book of Numbers. If the Reader will consult what is there said, he will find that what suits the one is equally applicable to the other. And he will discover, moreover, that this part of Moses' sermon is a beautiful duplicate of that history. But while I refer the Reader to what hath been already brought... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:46

REFLECTIONS WHAT a most beautiful representation doth this chapter afford of a faithful, laborious minister, in the character of Moses! Who can behold this aged servant of JEHOVAH, thus sermonizing even to the very close of life, and going over again and again in relation, all the great things the LORD had shown him and the people, without being struck with the loveliness of such a minister, and being led to admire yet more and more those holy principles which he laboured to impress upon the... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:46

Time. Hebrew adds, "according to the days that you abode." All the time that the Hebrews spent in that neighbourhood they remained at Cades-barne. The Rabbins say 38 years; but Moses informs us, that they were so long in coming thence to the torrent of Zared, chap. ii. 14. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:19-46

19-46 Moses reminds the Israelites of their march from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, through that great and terrible wilderness. He shows how near they were to a happy settlement in Canaan. It will aggravate the eternal ruin of hypocrites, that they were not far from the kingdom of God. As if it were not enough that they were sure of their God before them, they would send men before them. Never any looked into the Holy Land, but they must own it to be a good land. And was there any cause to distrust... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 1:19-46

Kadesh-Barnea and the Spies. v. 19. And when we departed from Horeb, Numbers 10:11, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, during their journey to reach that country, as the Lord, our God, commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea, which may be considered as being located in the extreme southern boundary of the Amorite country. v. 20. And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, the range which... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Deuteronomy 1:6-46

I. THE FIRST DISCOURSEDeuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 4:401. The command of God for the breaking up from Horeb—and the promise. (Deuteronomy 1:6-8).6The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all [his neighbors—see marg.] the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea-side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto... read more
