2:9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children {e} of Lot [for] a possession.(e) Which were the Moabites and Ammonites. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 2:1-37

WILDERNESS WANDERINGS (vs.1-25) From Kadesh Barnea Israel had to virtually retrace their steps, going back toward the Red Sea. Believers today find similar experiences because of lack of faith. Instead of progressing in the path of obedience to God, we must go back to learn afresh what the Red Sea deliverance means, for this speaks of the judgment of sin in the flesh by means of the cross of Christ, and if we do not learn it properly as we begin our wilderness history, we shall have to... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:1-37

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 2:1-37

Providential Lines Deuteronomy 2:0 There is a remarkable expression in the fifth verse "because." The same expression occurs in the ninth verse "because." The same word occurs in the nineteenth verse "because." Yet it is the infinite God who speaks and puts himself in the position of one who would explain to his creatures his reasons for making certain allotments. Instead of speaking as one might suppose the Eternal Majesty of the Universe to speak, he seems to place himself upon a level with... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:9

Evidently this precept was intended to teach the people of GOD then, and through them the people of GOD in all ages, not to love the world neither the things of the world. They who are set out for Canaan, are to have no objects to allure or lead them out of the way. Sweet is that account of the Patriarchs, Hebrews 11:13-16 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:9

Moabites. They allowed the Hebrews to pass, as the Idumeans had done; (ver. 29,) but they treated them with no particular marks of affection, (chap. xxiii. 3,) nor would they suffer them to go across their country, Judges xi. 17. --- Ar is sometimes called Rabbah Moab, "the great city of the Moabites," (Josue xiii. 25,) and Areopolis. (Eusebius) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 2:8-23

8-23 We have the origin of the Moabites, Edomites, and Ammonites. Moses also gives an instance older than any of these; the Caphtorims drove the Avims out of their country. These revolutions show what uncertain things wordly possessions are. It was so of old, and ever will be so. Families decline, and from them estates are transferred to families that increase; so little continuance is there in these things. This is recorded to encourage the children of Israel. If the providence of God has done... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 2:1-15

From Kadesh to the Brook Zered v. 1. Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, that is, in the direction toward the Red Sea, Numbers 14:25, as the Lord spake unto me; and we compassed Mount Seir many days, ever moving around in the neighborhood of this mountain range, in the Wilderness of Paran, down to the Elanitic Gulf. v. 2. And the Lord spake unto me, saying, v. 3. Ye have compassed this mountain long enough, after they had been journeying back... read more

(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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:1-15

Journeying and Dying in the Wilderness Deuteronomy 1:41-46 ; Deuteronomy 2:1-15 We cannot obtain by our impetuosity and insistence what God offers only as a free gift to our faith. The Land of Promise is not to be obtained by strength of hand, but by the soul that lives in the will of God. Even when we are rebellious and unbelieving, God does not forget nor forsake us, Deuteronomy 2:7 . He knows our walking through the great wilderness which we have chosen. Through all the forty years He... read more
