Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 23:4

Ver. 4. Because they met you not with bread and water— It was a piece of ancient hospitality, to give strangers in their travels refreshment of bread and water; that is, of meat and drink. The Israelites, therefore, might well expect this civility from the Ammonites and Moabites, not only as fellow-creatures, but as their kindred people; and further still, on account of the respect which they had shewed them. See chap. Deuteronomy 2:19. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 23:6

Ver. 6. Thou shalt not seek their peace— All that is here forbidden is, the entering into public confederacies and alliances with them; notwithstanding which prohibition, they were bound to treat those people according to the rule of common justice and humanity. The words may be considered as a declaration of the inflexible resolution of these two nations to maintain idolatry, and to keep up the same hostile spirit towards the Hebrews, which their ancestors had begun; otherwise, if they had... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 23:7-8

Ver. 7, 8. Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite—an Egyptian— The first, the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob, were thereby more than neighbours; they were the brethren of the Israelites: and as to the Egyptians, though they at length cruelly oppressed the Jewish nation, yet were their ancestors at first very hospitably received by them; the memory of which benefit God would not permit them to lose. The children begotten of them were to enter into the congregation in the third generation.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 23:3

3. even to the their tenth generation shall they not enter—Many eminent writers think that this law of exclusion was applicable only to males; at all events that a definite is used for an indefinite number (Nehemiah 13:1; Ruth 4:10; 2 Kings 10:2). Many of the Israelites being established on the east side of Jordan in the immediate neighborhood of those people, God raised this partition wall between them to prevent the consequences of evil communications. More favor was to be shown to Edomites... read more

Public worship 23:1-8In the preceding chapter Moses explained the proper types of marital union. In this chapter he set forth the proper types of union of individuals with the covenant community.This section of verses (Deuteronomy 23:1-8) deals with people who were not born in Israel but wished to worship with full members of the nation."The ’assembly’ (qahal) refers here to the formal gathering of the Lord’s people as a community at festival occasions and other times of public worship and not... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 23:1-25

Laws regarding admittance to the Congregation, cleanliness in the Camp, Unchastity, Usury, and Vows1. Shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord] i.e. not merely as priests (see Leviticus 21:16-24) but as ordinary members of the nation of Israel, all of whom are ’holy unto the Lord.’ The reference in this v. is probably to the self-mutilation practised by the devotees of certain heathen gods, and alluded to by St. Paul in Galatians 5:12: cp. Deuteronomy 14:1. 2. A bastard is understood... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 23:3

(3) An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter. According to Rashi, “shall not marry an Israelitish woman.” It must be remembered that the children, according to Jewish law, follow the father, not the mother. The case of Ruth would not, therefore, be touched by this precept. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 23:4

(4) Because they met you not with bread and with water.—We learn incidentally from this passage how the Moabites and the Ammonites requited the forbearance shown them by the Israelites (Deuteronomy 2:9; Deuteronomy 2:19; Deuteronomy 2:29). No one not acquainted with the details of Israel’s intercourse with these people on their journey could have written thus.Because they hired against thee Balaam.—See Numbers 22:0 and Numbers 31:16, and Numbers 25:0. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 23:5

(5) Because the Lord thy God loved thee.—The contrast between what He says to Israel in this book and what He said by Balaam is very striking. (See on Deuteronomy 31:16.) read more
