Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 12:1-14

The central sanctuary 12:1-14When Israel entered the land the people were to destroy all the places and objects used in pagan worship by the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 12:2-4). Pagan peoples generally have felt that worshipping on elevated sites brings them into closer contact with their gods than is the case when they worship in low-lying places, unless those places had been the sites of supernatural events. The Canaanites typically visualized their gods as being above them. "’Places’... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 12:1-32

The Abolition of Idolatrous Places. The Centralisation of Worship. Abstinence from BloodThe larger section of the Second Discourse begins here and extends to the end of Deuteronomy 26. It consists of a code of laws, and constitutes the nucleus of the whole book: see on Deuteronomy 4:44-49. So far as any orderly arrangement can be discovered, Deuteronomy 12-16 are taken up with the more strictly religious duties; Deuteronomy 17-20 with civil ordinances; and Deuteronomy 21-26 with social and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 12:2

(2) Ye shall utterly destroy.—First of all these requirements is the destruction of every vestige of idolatry. In the land of Jehovah there must be no trace of any other god but Him. The non-fulfilment of this command in the early history of Israel has led some to suppose that the command itself belongs to later times. But it must be observed that the destruction of these things is inextricably connected with the conquest of the country in detail. It was part of the work assigned to the several... read more

(3) Destroy the names.—The substitution in later times of bosheth for baal in the names Jerubbaal (Jerubbesheth), Eshbaal (Ishbosheth), Meribbaal (Mephibosheth), is a curious example of the literal fulfilment of this command, or, perhaps, rather of the command in Exodus 23:13, of which the spirit and purport agree with this. read more

The Friendship of Christ (a University Sermon) Deuteronomy 12:13 ; Revelation 3:20 Your college days are preeminently days when you open the doors of your hearts and let new friends in. In these years you are generous, and ready to hear a knock, and to respond to it. I. Never has the history of any human life been truly and fully related. I fancy that if such a thing could be, the record would be mainly of those who at different stages and periods have come into it. Many of them have come and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 12:1-32

LAWS OF SACRIFICEDeuteronomy 12:1-32.IT is a characteristic of all the earlier codes of law-the Book of the Covenant, the Deuteronomic Code, and the Law of Holiness-that at the head of the series of laws which they contain there should be a law of sacrifice. Probably, too, each of the three had, as first section of all, the Decalogue. The Book of the Covenant and Deuteronomy undeniably have it so, and the earlier element which forms the basis of Leviticus 17:1-16; Leviticus 18:1-30; Leviticus... read more
