Deuteronomy 6:18 NIV

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 6:1-25

The appeal of Moses was now elaborated in a great statement on the deepest value of the commandment and the corresponding responsibilities of the people Observe the peculiar form of the opening statement, "Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments." The very form suggested the unification of plurality and evidently was intended to do so, for it led to the statement, "Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." Here Jehovah was used as name and as title, its supreme value, of course,... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 6:18

Not that which is right in thine own eyes, as many superstitious and sinful practices seem right and good to evil-minded men. Let God’s will and word, and not thine own fancy or invention, be thy rule in God’s service. Good actions are oft said to be right in God’s sight, as Jeremiah 34:15; Acts 4:19; and evil actions are oft said to be right in our own eyes, as Deuteronomy 12:8; Judges 17:6. read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 6:1-25

Deuteronomy 6:4 . יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחד , Jehovah our Elohim is one Jehovah. There is uniformly an elision of the letter ם mem, when the plural is associated with the noun; and the י yod is not used in the paradigm of Hebrew verbs to designate the plural noun. The name of the Divinity being here used three times, as in Psalms 33:6, Isaiah 49, 63., and the central name or noun, Elohinu, being in the plural number, indicates to us that mysterious sociality in the Trinity in unity, known... read more
