The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:6-9

The separation of the sons of Levi. The tables of stone in the ark had to be committed to special officers. These were the sons cf. Levi. God called them to this, a high and glorious honor surely. They were also to minister unto him and to bless in his Name. To this order of men no mere temporal inheritance was given; God was their inheritance. I. IT IS SURELY DESIRABLE THAT A SPECIAL ORDER OF MEN SHOULD BE SET APART FOR THE CUSTODY OF THE DIVINE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:6-11

Progress. Progress is the law of human life. Perfection is reached only by steady advancement. I. PROGRESS IS MARKED BY DISTINCT STAGES . There are times for action, and times for rest. Neither body nor mind can, in our present state, bear the strain of continuous exertion. There is an advantage in an occasional halt, by which we can review the past, measure our progress, examine our resources, and reconnoiter the future. The soul is many-sided, and advance in knowledge,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:8

At that time ; the time when the covenant was restored at Sinai, not the time when Aaron died. The appointment of the tribe of Levi for service took place in connection with that of Aaron and his sons to the priesthood ( Numbers 3:4 ). The service to which the tribe of Levi was chosen appertained to the tribe as such, including the priests as well as the non-priestly Levites, though parts of it specially belonged to the one class rather than the other. Thus the bearing of the ark was the... read more

Moses here sums up the general result of his intercession. As at the first, he was on the mount the second time forty days and forty nights; and in response to his pleading, the Lord willed not to destroy Israel, and commanded him to resume his place as leader of the people, and conduct them to the Promised Land "This commandment and promise was a testimony that God now was reconciled unto them by the intercession of Moses" (Ainsworth). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:10-22

New obedience. Moses, having detailed the success of his intercession in Horeb, and that the threatened doom was averted and the pilgrimage proceeded with, goes on in this passage to analyze the obedience to be rendered. It is all summed up in fearing the Lord, walking in his ways, loving him, serving him with heart and soul, and keeping his commandments. Let us try to grasp the description of new obedience here presented. I. ISRAEL WAS TO BE A GOD - FEARING PEOPLE . A... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12-13

God had showed great favor to Israel; what return did he require? Only what, without any prescription, they were bound to render—fear, love, and obedience (comp. Micah 6:8 ). To fear the Lord thy God (cf. Deuteronomy 6:2 , Deuteronomy 6:13 ). To walk in all his ways ; to receive his truth, accept his law, and follow the course of conduct which he prescribes (cf. Genesis 18:19 ; Psalms 25:4 , Psalms 25:5 ; Psalms 67:2 ; Acts 18:25 , Acts 18:26 ). To love him (cf. Exodus... read more

The supreme requirement. With this Moses began ( Deuteronomy 6:4 ), and with this he ends. The sum of the Law, and the sum of all his exhortations. It all and always comes back to this ( Ecclesiastes 12:13 ): "What doth the Lord require of thee?" etc. We have here: 1. The central requirement. 2. The all-embracing requirement. 3. The indispensable requirement; that for which nothing else can be accepted as a substitute. 4. The requirement of kindness— "for thy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12-16

Israel's duty summed up and touchingly enforced. The rehearsal and review of Israel's waywardness, in which the great lawgiver had been reminding the people how much God had had to bear with from them, must have been extremely painful to him, as it was reproachful for them. That part of the review closes with the eleventh verse. And then follows thereon one of the most tender and touching appeals to which the old man could give vent. The two first words of the twelfth verse," And now,"... read more
