James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

WARNING AND EXHORTATIONS OBEDIENCE (Deuteronomy 7:0 ) What were the names of the seven nations of Canaan to be cast out for their iniquity (Deuteronomy 7:1 )? Who would cast them out, and in what manner is the supernatural character of the act emphasized? Nevertheless, what illustrates the divine use of means (Deuteronomy 7:2 )? What command is laid on the Israelites in the premises (Deuteronomy 7:2-3 )? And why (Deuteronomy 7:4 )? To what extent should their zeal be exhibited, and why... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

Prohibitions Deuteronomy 7:0 This chapter might be so read as to give great offence. There is in it a tone of pitilessness. The whole chapter is a vengeful speech. The chapter is charged with partiality on the part of God towards one nation, as though other nations were self-created or had been fashioned by inferior deities, and were worthy of nothing but contempt and destruction. Who made the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 7:8

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "The Lord loved you." Deu 7:8 The word love is an Old Testament word. It would not be difficult to show that the tenderest expressions ever used by heaven to earth are reported not in the New Testament but in the Old. It is not enough for the people to know that their Lord is almighty, because power may become a terror. Not only power belongeth unto God but also mercy: this is the complete aspect of the divine nature. That the Lord loved Israel was... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:7-8

I hardly know a passage in the Old Testament more sweetly expressive of the freeness and sovereignty of grace; and more encouraging at the same time to the mind of every poor enquiring sinner. Dear JESUS! and are all the numberless proofs of thy mercy towards thy people, the sole result of the FATHER's everlasting love, thine own most free and unmerited grace, and the blessed SPIRIT's fellowship? LORD! help me ever to keep these gracious testimonies in view, to comfort my soul in a dark and... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:1-11

1-11 Here is a strict caution against all friendship and fellowship with idols and idolaters. Those who are in communion with God, must have no communication with the unfruitful works of darkness. Limiting the orders to destroy, to the nations here mentioned, plainly shows that after ages were not to draw this into a precedent. A proper understanding of the evil of sin, and of the mystery of a crucified Saviour, will enable us to perceive the justice of God in all his punishments, temporal and... read more

The Eradication of Idolatry Commanded v. 1. When the Lord, thy God, shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, an event certain to materialize in the near future, and hath cast out many nations before thee, great in numbers, in resources, and in valor, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; v. 2. and when the Lord, thy God, shall... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:1-11

No Compromise with Idolatry Deuteronomy 6:20-25 ; Deuteronomy 7:1-11 The great Lawgiver had His eye constantly on the coming generation. It is good when the children are so arrested by our religious life, that they come to ask us to tell them the reasons that account for it. Seek to live so purely and devoutly, and yet so attractively, that the young people around will be compelled to inquire after your secret, Luke 11:1 . We are not only to teach the children, but to guard them against... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

Continuing to deal with the responsibilities of the people as they entered the land, Moses insisted upon the absolute necessity for the maintenance of the attitude of separation to God. Stringent instructions were given in this .matter. They must not compromise with the people of the land. They must not many with them because such alliance would result in corruption of the chosen people and their straying after other gods. Moreover, they were to sweep out all the signs of false religion,... read more
