Deuteronomy 29:2-31:29

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

25. The Repetition of the Covenant and the Repetition of the Curse CHAPTER 29 1. The repetition of the covenant (Deuteronomy 29:1-15 ) 2. The repetition of the curse (Deuteronomy 29:16-29 ) The words of the covenant are once more brought to their remembrance. Once more all the goodness of the Lord towards them is unfolded by Moses, how the Lord had dealt with Egypt and how their eyes had seen the signs and great miracles. (Verses 5 and 6 are the direct words of Jehovah, ending with the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

THE CONDITIONAL COVENANT RENEWED (vs.1-29) Verse I speaks of a covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with Israel in the land of Moab, "Beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb." This covenant is not different in its terms, but is really a renewing of the covenant in Horeb. For it is conditional, in contrast to the "New Covenant" ofJeremiah 31:31-34; Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is unconditional, for it speaks only of what God will do for Israel in greatly blessing them, with... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

THE PALESTINIAN COVENANT The subject of these chapters is new and exceedingly important, containing what is called the Palestinian covenant. Note that while the land was unconditionally given to Abraham and his seed in what we call the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 13:15 ; Genesis 15:7 ), yet it was under another and conditional one that Israel ultimately entered the land under Joshua. It is this covenant that is recorded in the present chapters. This was utterly violated by the nation, for... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Secret Things Deu 29:29 We have here two words of permanent significance, the confusion of which would lead to all kinds of spiritual disaster. These words are "secret" and "revealed." It is something to know that this distinction was so early made in human thinking. The distinction, in fact, can be found in the communications which passed between God and man in the garden of Eden itself. The simple law is that some "things" belong unto the Lord our God; we have nothing to do with them; we... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-3

It must have been a very interesting moment this, when Moses, acting as the minister of JEHOVAH, made this appeal to the people. There is nothing we need more, than to be reminded of past mercies. And hence, one of the most precious offices of the HOLY GHOST is, when he mercifully acts as our Remembrancer, to bring to our recollection the tender manifestations of JESUS'S love. John 14:26 . Reader! hath the HOLY SPIRIT indeed brought to your remembrance, all that the LORD your GOD hath done for... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-9

1-9 Both former mercies, and fresh mercies, should be thought on by us as motives to obedience. The hearing ear, and seeing eye, and the understanding heart, are the gift of God. All that have them, have them from him. God gives not only food and raiment, but wealth and large possessions, to many to whom he does not give grace. Many enjoy the gifts, who have not hearts to perceive the Giver, nor the true design and use of the gifts. We are bound, in gratitude and interest, as well as in duty... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 29:1-9

Of the Deliverance from Egypt v. 1. These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, while they were still encamped in the steppes east of Jordan, beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb. This verse is inserted to form the transition from the preceding speeches and to be the title of the last admonitions of Moses, especially of his urgent invitation to be mindful of the covenant and to keep its... read more

Deuteronomy 29:1-291These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make [to close] with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made [closed] with them in Horeb. 2And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land. 3The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:... read more

the Covenant that Brings Prosperity Deuteronomy 29:1-13 In one great final convocation Moses rehearsed the Covenant, and endeavored to bind the people to its provisions. It becomes us all from time to time to look into the vows that we have made, reviewing them to see if we have carefully observed and kept our pledges. We need also to enlarge their scope as one new department after another is added to the experience of our souls. A review also of God’s great love and care through past years... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

The fourth discourse of Moses urged the people to be true to the Covenant, the terms of which had been given and are recorded in the previous chapter. It is to be carefully remembered that the first verse of chapter twenty-nine in our arrangement is the last of chapter twenty-eight in the Hebrew Bible. The statement, "These are the words of the covenant," refers to what had already been uttered. In thus especially appealing to them, Moses first referred to the Lord's deliverances for them,... read more
