Deuteronomy 10:21 NIV

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Educated Towards Spirituality Deuteronomy 10-11 How to introduce the spiritual element into all this instruction of an external and formal kind was the difficulty even of inspiration. We have felt all along that the speeches and instructions delivered to Israel meant, as to their purpose and issue, something that was not expressed. We now come to find an indication of that which is intensely spiritual. The method of its introduction is so it may be said, with reverence infinitely skilled.... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:21

Praise, the object whom thou must praise, and the source of all thy happiness and glory. Other nations will revere the Jews on this account. (Calmet) --- An ancient oracle could not refuse giving them this singular commendation, though to the prejudice of idolatry. "Chaldeans alone philosophy may claim --- but Hebrews worship God, the self-born King --- with pure religion."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:12-22

12-22 We are here taught our duty to God in our principles and our practices. We must fear the Lord our God. We must love him, and delight in communion with him. We must walk in the ways in which he has appointed us to walk. We must serve him with all our heart and soul. What we do in his service we must do cheerfully, and with good will. We must keep his commandments. There is true honour and pleasure in obedience. We must give honour to God; and to him we must cleave, as one we love and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 10:12-22

What The Fear of God Demands v. 12. And now, Israel, what doth the Lord, thy God, require of thee, thus Moses asks in a powerful appeal, but to fear the Lord, thy God, with the fear which flowed out of the realization of His grace and mercy, to walk in all His ways, as a manifestation of the right veneration, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul, as the culmination and completion of the true worship of Jehovah, v. 13. to keep the... read more

Deuteronomy 10:1-221At that time the Lord said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3And I made an ark of shittim [acacia] wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having [and] the two tables in mine hand. 4And he wrote on the tables, according to... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

What the Lord Requires of Us Deuteronomy 10:1-22 The second writing of the Law reminds us of the work wrought in us by the Holy Spirit. When first we hear the Law, we are condemned; but when we have repented and believed, God writes it on the fleshly tablets of our hearts, Hebrews 8:10 . Together with this deepening love and delight in God’s Law, we enter into the spiritual equivalent of Levi’s calling, standing to minister, and blessing in God’s name. Every word of the magnificent parable... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

In recounting the story of the writing of the Law the second time, Moses distinctly affirmed that these tables too were written by God Himself. This was the culminating word in all he had said to them concerning their unfaithfulness. Side by side with their failure had been the manifestation of the pity and forbearance of God. They were therefore now being called upon to enter the land in spite of their own unrighteousness because of the compassion of God and His set determination to carry... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:16-22

Their Required Response In The Light of What He Is, Is Now Expanded On (Deuteronomy 10:16-22 ). Deuteronomy 10:16 ‘ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your (of ye) heart, and be no more stiffnecked.’ In lieu of this, therefore, they, as a gathering of people, were all to circumcise the foreskins of their hearts, putting aside their obstinacy and stubbornness. They had to cast it from them. In other words just as the covering of their foreskin was removed in circumcision, so their obstinacy... read more
