Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

As we have told you the word Deuteronomy means the second law. It is really a rehearsal, sort of a capsulation by Moses of the law that was given. Deuteronomy itself, though it covers the forty years from Egypt to the entering in of the Promised Land, covered only about forty days, as far as the time of it being given to the children of Israel.Moses was now an aging man, however he was still very spry. He still had excellent eyesight, excellent hearing, none of his forces had abated. Sometimes... read more

Deuteronomy 9:1 . This day; at this time, or in the course of a month. Day is often used in scripture for the whole of a man’s life, for a season, and for a short time. Deuteronomy 9:19 . I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure. To this text St. Paul refers, Hebrews 12:21.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 9:8

8. Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord How startling the indictment against them! How emphatic the condemnation! Their sins are brought out in bold relief, with the background of Horeb, the mountain of God, to deepen the effect. The mountain was radiant with the august splendour of the divine presence, the words of the law were echoing from the craggy granite peaks; the people are turning back in their hearts to the land of their taskmasters. At the very time Moses is in communion with... read more
