L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

REMEMBER! DO NOT FORGET! (vs.1-20) Israel was left no opportunity to say they did not understand what God was telling them. He repeated it in many different ways and insisted on it in no uncertain terms. Verse 1 emphasizes again that Israel must observe every commandment God gave, that they might live and multiply in possession of their land. They must remember how the Lord God had led them all through their forty years of trial in the wilderness. That history was designed by God to humble... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

The Plan of Life Deuteronomy 8:0 This chapter may be considered as laying down the sacred and stimulating doctrine that our life is planned and ordered for us as to its divine side and moral obligation. We are not called upon to consider the great questions of moral duty or righteousness or good conduct in any of its vital springs, with a view to conceiving some plan of our own as to the realisation of perfect character. The idea of this chapter is that all moral duties have been defined and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1

CONTENTS The subject of Moses' Sermon is continued through this chapter. The man of GOD makes use of some of the most persuasive arguments to enforce an observance of the holy precepts he had given to Israel. Deuteronomy 8:1 Nothing can be more important to consider, both in a legal and in a gospel sense, than what Moses here mentions; that all GOD'S commands are alike to be regarded, and not with a partial attention. The apostle hath settled the vast consequence of this in a single verse, when... read more
