Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:15-18

The Treacherous Nature of Their Behaviour Is Described (Deuteronomy 32:15-18 ). Deuteronomy 32:15-16 ‘But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked, You are waxed fat, you are grown thick, you are become sleek, Then he forsook God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. They moved him to jealousy with what was strange, With abominations they provoked him to anger.’ But His ‘righteous one’ (Jeshurun) grew fat, and kicked out, they got fatter and fatter and grew sleek and well... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Deuteronomy 32:1-John : . Moses’ Song is a didactic poem, a theodicy in which Yahweh’ s ways are vindicated. In its sentiments and artistic form it is unsurpassed in the poetry of the OT. Its dominant theme is Yahweh’ s justice and lovingkindness to Israel notwithstanding the nation’ s sinfulness. It is impossible to fix the date of this poem with any confidence. But points of contact with Jer., Isaiah 40-55, Ezek., and the Wisdom literature suggest the closing years of the Exile (say 550... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

The song composed by Moses and recited to the people as a witness against them. “It embraces the whole future history of Israel, and bears all the marks of prophetic testimony in the perfectly ideal picture which it draws on the one hand, or the benefits and blessings conferred by the Lord upon His people; on the other hand of the ingratitude with which Israel repaid God for them all” (cf. Delitz). The poem divided into six parts.Deuteronomy 32:1-3. Introductory, importance of doctrine... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Chapter 32So this is the song that Moses taught the children of Israel. And incidentally it was the first hit rock song. It is a song about the Rock.Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the rock, His work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment, a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He ( Deuteronomy 32:3-4 ).So the song begins with a declaration of God as our Rock, of His works, His ways, His judgments, His truths, His... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Deuteronomy 32:1 . Give ear, oh ye heavens, and I will speak. This ode, which is full of rhythm, and of almost every poetic excellence and beauty, has been called the Swan song of Moses, who died singing sublime but mournful notes. The principal words have been much copied by future prophets. It is carmen seculare, a song to the age, of truth, not of flattery. Deuteronomy 32:2 . My doctrine shall drop as the rain. In hieroglyphic writing, rain often designates knowledge and science,... read more

Deuteronomy 32:18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful.Forgetful of the RockHow is it that men soon forget the solid, the real, the substantial? What is it that delights men in spluttering rockets, in coloured fountains, in lamps swinging upon trees that are offended by their presence? See the great seething crowd waiting for the coloured fountains to spring up, and for all the little electric lamps confined in tinted globes to shine among swaying branches! What exclamations of idiotic... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:18

Deu 32:18 Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. Ver. 18. And hast forgotten God that formed thee. ] Or, That brought thee forth. Here God is compared to a mother, as in the former clause to a father. So James 1:18 , "Of his own will begat he us," - απεκυησε , He brought us forth, and did the office of a mother to us; which doth notably set forth his love and the work of his grace. read more
