F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

What the Lord Requires of Us Deuteronomy 10:1-22 The second writing of the Law reminds us of the work wrought in us by the Holy Spirit. When first we hear the Law, we are condemned; but when we have repented and believed, God writes it on the fleshly tablets of our hearts, Hebrews 8:10 . Together with this deepening love and delight in God’s Law, we enter into the spiritual equivalent of Levi’s calling, standing to minister, and blessing in God’s name. Every word of the magnificent parable... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

In recounting the story of the writing of the Law the second time, Moses distinctly affirmed that these tables too were written by God Himself. This was the culminating word in all he had said to them concerning their unfaithfulness. Side by side with their failure had been the manifestation of the pity and forbearance of God. They were therefore now being called upon to enter the land in spite of their own unrighteousness because of the compassion of God and His set determination to carry... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-5

Chapter 10 The Renewing of the Covenant and The Priesthood and the Servants of the Tabernacle. The covenant having been broken we come now to the renewing of the broken covenant, followed by the renewal of the priesthood and the replacing of the firstborn sons of failed Israel with the Levites who had proved their worth. The first part of the chapter is a miscellany of different activities importantly involved in the renewing of the broken covenant and the provision for its protection once... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

Deuteronomy 9:7 b – Deuteronomy 10:11 (or Deuteronomy 10:9). Narrative of the legislation on Mount Horeb; for the purpose apparently of illustrating Deuteronomy 9:7 a. This historical survey suddenly thrust into a hortatory context closely resembles Deuteronomy 1-3, and is thought by Horst and Bertholet to be by the same author. They agree with Steuernagel (who, however, says its closest affinities are with Deuteronomy 5) in holding it to be an interpolation here. But surely the history... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1

At that time, When God was newly appeased by my intercession. An ark of wood; either a temporary ark for this use, till the other was finished; or the famous ark, as may seem by comparing this with Deuteronomy 10:5. It is not evident in what order these things were done, nor is it strange if Moses in this short and general relation neglect the order of time, as being nothing to his present purpose. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

CRITICAL NOTES.—Deuteronomy 10:1. That time. The order for the ark was given before the apostasy of the people, cf. Exodus 25:0, and the tables were put into it after the dedication of the tabernacle. But Moses connects events related to each other for his own purpose without strict chronological order.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Chapter 10In chapter ten He continues of their failures during the wilderness experiences. And he's reminding them of the failure at the time when God had given to him the law on the two tables of stone. And how that when he came down from the mountain that the people had made this golden calf and were worshipping it and how the tables of stone were broken. And so he was commanded by the Lord to take two more tables of stone. And for another forty days and forty nights in fasting without water... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Deuteronomy 10:6 . Mosera: there Aaron died. In Numbers 20:28; Numbers 33:38-39, we read that Aaron died in mount Hor, which was seven days’ journey from Moseroth. This place is full of difficulties. Why are Aaron and Levi mentioned here at all? Because they were the guardians of the ark, and of the tables mentioned above; and because the Lord had pardoned Aaron. The difficulty respecting the place of Aaron’s death is thus accounted for by some that Israel, intimidated by the advantages... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 10:1

Deuteronomy 10:1Two tables of stone.The tables of stone-What do they symboliseThese were made before any part of the tabernacle furniture. Their history heralds forth their transcendant importance. No compend of moral truth may pretend to compare with them, for glory and grandeur of origin; for simplicity and completeness of adaptation to man’s necessities, or for sublime exhibitions of the Divine perfections. Such an illustrious transcript of the moral attributes of God and His claims upon the... read more
