The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

Mercies Promised to the Obedient v. 1. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse which I have set before thee, and history shows that the fulfillment of the curse came exactly as threatened by the Lord, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord, thy God, hath driven thee, for the bitter misery of their condition would bring at least some of the people to their senses, v. 2. and shalt return unto the Lord, thy... read more

Deuteronomy 30:1-201And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set [given] before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind [thou turnest it back (takest) to thy heart] among all the nations [heathen] whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, 2And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart [with thine whole heart] and with... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

Promises to Returning Wanderers Deuteronomy 30:1-10 The Hebrew people have often turned to this chapter in the belief that the day must come when God will pity their forlorn condition and restore them from “the outmost parts of heaven.” They do not consider that the promise was fulfilled in the return of a handful of their race under Nehemiah and Ezra. The precious promise of Deuteronomy 30:6 , where the initial rite of Judaism is to have its spiritual fulfillment, should be compared with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

Continuing his discourse, Moses uttered words thrilling at first with tenderness and urgent appeal. In the first ten verses of the chapter we have the long look ahead of love. He seems to have seen the people in the conditions which he had predicted must result from disobedience, scattered far off from their own land. He saw them, however, returning in spirit to God as the result of severe discipline. In view of this, he saw how ready God would ever be to receive and pardon them when they... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

Chapter 30 God’s Continuing Mercy. This chapter begins by recognising that both the blessings and the cursings described in Deuteronomy 28:0 will finally have their effects. Moses was fully aware that God had not at this stage permanently given to His earthly people a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear as he had said (Deuteronomy 29:4). It was he himself who had declared that they were a stiffnecked people (Deuteronomy 9:6) and needed to be circumcised in heart (Deuteronomy 10:16).... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

Deuteronomy 30:1-2 Samuel : seems like an expansion of Deuteronomy 4:29-Obadiah :, and sums up the promises of D, expressing them from the standpoint of the Exile. Deuteronomy 30:1 . the blessing and the curse: referring to Deuteronomy 28. Deuteronomy 30:3 . turn thy captivity: render, “ restore thy fortunes” ( Job 42:10). Deuteronomy 30:6 . circumcise thy heart: Deuteronomy 10:16 *. Deuteronomy 30:7 f. The curse now resting on Israel will be transferred to their enemies. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 30:6

The Lord will circumcise thine heart, or, for the Lord will circumcise thine heart, i.e. will by his word and Spirit change and purge thy heart from all thine idolatry, and superstition, and wickedness, and incline thy heart to love him, as it here follows. See Deuteronomy 10:16. And so this is produced to show why and how those great things should be accomplished; God would first convert and sanctify them, the fruit whereof should be this, that they should return and obey God’s commandments,... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—Israel were rejected and exiled on account of apostacy, but not absolutely east off for ever. If they would return to the Lord he would turn his favour towards them again, and gather them out of dispersion.Deuteronomy 30:1-3. Mind, bethink themselves, not mere recollection, but consideration of their conduct and condition. Return (Deuteronomy 30:2) from idolatry to the service of Jehovah; in penitence and obedience. Thy captivity, Deuteronomy 30:3. Not to bring back the... read more
