The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:16

They were, therefore, to lay aside all insensibility of heart and all obduracy, to acknowledge God's supremacy, to imitate his beneficence, and to fear and worship him. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart. As circumcision was the symbol of purification and sign of consecration to God, so the Israelites are enjoined to realize in fact what that rite symbolized, viz. purity of heart and receptivity for the things of God. This is enforced by the consideration that Jehovah the alone... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:16

Heart circumcision. I. HEART CIRCUMCISION IN ITS IMPORT . 1. Betokens the existence of natural impurity . The rite of circumcision, as the initiatory rite of the covenant, taught that man, in his natural, unpurified state, is unfit for fellowship with God. "In us, that is, in our flesh, dwells no good thing" ( John 3:6 ; Romans 7:18 ). It was a symbol of the putting away of "the filth of the flesh"—a truth now signified in baptism ( Colossians 2:11 ; 1 Peter 3:21... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:17

God of gods ( Psalms 136:2 ). Not only supreme over all that are called god, but the complex and sum of all that is Divine; the Great Reality, of which the "gods many" of the nations were at the best but the symbols of particular attributes or qualities. Which regardeth not persons; is not partial, as a judge who has respect to the condition and circumstances of parties rather than to the merits of the case (cf. Le Deuteronomy 19:15 ; Acts 10:34 ; Ephesians 6:9 ; Jud Ephesians 1:16 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:18-19

As the impartial and incorruptible Judge, God executes the judgment of the fatherless and widow , vindicates the right of the defenseless ( Psalms 68:6 ; Psalms 146:9 ); and as the God of the whole earth, he loveth the stranger , helpless, and it may be oppressed, and giveth him food and raiment. Following him, Israel, as his people, were to be benevolent to the stranger, inasmuch as they themselves had been strangers in Egypt, and knew by experience what it was to be a stranger (cf.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:19

Love the stranger. The precept has numerous applications— I. TO LITERAL STRANGERS . Persons from foreign countries, or from distant parts of our own country, settling in our midst. Why should these be treated so often as intruders, "incomers," persons to be jealously watched and suspected, instead of being taken by the hand and welcomed? II. TO THE UNFRIENDED AND HELPLESS . To all whose hearts are lonely, and their lives destitute of the cheer given by the love and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:20

Reverting to his main theme, Moses anew exhorts Israel to fear Jehovah their God, and to show true reverence to him by serving him, by cleaving to him, and by swearing in his Name (cf. Deuteronomy 4:4 ; Deuteronomy 6:13 ; Acts 11:23 ). Such reverence was due from Israel to God, because of the great things he had done for them, and those terrible acts by which his mighty power had been displayed on their behalf. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:20

Religion in brief. A text made illustrious by our Savior's use of it. Like Deuteronomy 10:12 , a summary of duty, but in a form giving prominence to the truth that fear of God works from within outwards. This central religious principle particularizes itself into— I. SERVING HIM —or religion in deed. In resistance of all seductions to a counter-service ( Matthew 4:10 ). In the faithful and diligent discharge of all duties. II. CLEAVING TO HIM —or religion in heart.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:21

He is thy praise, i . e . the Object of thy praise; the Being who had given them abundant cause to praise him, and whom they were bound continually to praise (cf. Psalms 22:3 ; Psalms 109:1 ; Jeremiah 17:14 ). Terrible things; acts which by their greatness and awful effects inspired fear and dread into those by whom they were witnessed. For thee ; literally, with thee , i . e . either in thy view or towards thee, for thy behoof (comp. Deuteronomy 1:30 ; 1 Samuel 12:7 ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 10:12

After these emphatic warnings against self-righteousness the principal topic is resumed from Deuteronomy 6:0, and this division of the discourse is drawn to a conclusion in the next two chapters by a series of direct and positive exhortations to a careful fulfillment of the duties prescribed in the first two of the Ten “Words.”Deuteronomy 10:12What doth the Lord thy God require ... - A noteworthy demand. God has in the Mosaic law positively commanded many things. However, these relate to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 10:16

On “circumcision” see Genesis 17:10. This verse points to the spiritual import of circumcision. Man is by nature “very far gone from original righteousness,” and in a state of enmity to God; by circumcision, as the sacrament of admission to the privileges of the chosen people, this opposition must be taken away ere man could enter into covenant with God. It was through the flesh that man first sinned; as it is also in the flesh, its functions, lusts, etc., that man’s rebellion against God... read more
