F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-14

Moses’ Song: the Lord’s Favor upon Israel Deuteronomy 31:30 ; Deuteronomy 32:1-14 The song of Moses, like the fabled song of the swan, was his last and sweetest. It is probably the noblest ode in the whole compass of the Bible, and is the source from which subsequent singers derived suggestions for their noblest outbursts. The marginal references prove how deeply it dyed the national sentiment. It excels in the names and designations of the Almighty. He is the Rock: Deuteronomy 31:4 ;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Here we have the song itself. The first part (verses Deuteronomy 32:1-3; Deuteronomy 32:1-3) consists of a call to attention. Heaven and earth are called to listen while the servant of God proclaims the name of God. This he does immediately (verses Deu 32:3-4 ), celebrating His greatness, His perfection, His justice, His faithfulness. Briefly he refers to the people (verse Deu 32:5 ) and nothing good is said of them. Proceeding with the song, the tender government of God is illustrated in the... read more

Witnesses Are Called On To Bear Witness To His Words (Deuteronomy 32:1-3 ). Deuteronomy 32:1-3 “Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth. My teaching will drop like the rain; My speech will distil like the dew, As the raindrops on the fresh grass, And as the showers on the vegetation. For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh, Ascribe you (ye) greatness to our God.” First heaven and earth are called on to witness to what Moses will speak (compare... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 32:2

Look what effect rain and dew have upon herbs and grass, which they make fresh and fragrant and growing, the same effect I may justly expect and hope that my discourse will have upon your hearts, i.e. to make them soft and pliable and fruitful. Or this may be a prayer, Let my doctrine drop, &c. Oh that it might do so, that my discourse might not be lost upon you, but be profitable to you! the future tense of the indicative mood being put for the imperative mood, as is usual. 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

Chapter 32So this is the song that Moses taught the children of Israel. And incidentally it was the first hit rock song.

Joseph Sutcliffe

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
