Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:2-8

A Quick Resume Of Their History (Deuteronomy 29:2-8 ). In the light of the covenant which he had given (Deuteronomy 29:1), he began by a quick reminder of their reasons for confidence in Yahweh, and of why they should be grateful to Him so that they should respond accordingly. He cited four things, Yahweh’s deliverance from Egypt (compare Deuteronomy 1:30; Deuteronomy 4:20; Deuteronomy 4:34; Deuteronomy 4:37; Deuteronomy 5:6; Deuteronomy 5:15; Deuteronomy 6:12; Deuteronomy 6:21-22;... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Deuteronomy 29:1 belongs, as in the Heb. Bible, to the preceding chapter. It is the formal ending of the great discourse ( Deuteronomy 4:44, Deuteronomy 12-26, Deuteronomy 28). Deuteronomy 29 (except Deuteronomy 29:1) and Deuteronomy 30 form ostensibly Moses’ third address, in the course of which Israel is urged to obey Yahweh and to enter into covenant relations with Him ( Deuteronomy 29:2-Ezra :), words of warning ( Deuteronomy 29:16-Joel :) being followed by words of promise ( Deuteronomy... read more

Not eaten bread, i.e. common bread purchased by your own money, or made by your own hands, but heavenly and angelical bread, Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 78:24,Psalms 78:25. You have subsisted without bread, the staff of life. Neither wine or strong drink, but only water out of the rock. The Lord your God; the Lord omnipotent and all-sufficient for your provision, without the help of any creatures, and your God in covenant with you, who hath a true affection to you, and fatherly care of you, even... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

CRITICAL NOTES.—The discourse is continued—the subject of that is the covenant of Israel with God—its privileges conferred and obligations imposed. Besides (Deuteronomy 29:1), not a new covenant, but repetition, renewal of the old at a suitable time.Deuteronomy 29:2-9. Obligation to obey on account of what God had done for Israel. All Israel. Represented by Elders (cf. Deuteronomy 29:10). Temptations. Testings, provings (cf. Deuteronomy 4:34; Deuteronomy 7:19). Not given. They felt no want and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Chapter 29Chapter twenty-nine, God continues with this covenant.These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel. And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen what the Lord has done before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and his servants. The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: Yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear,... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Deuteronomy 29:1 . The words of the covenant; from co, con, or com; a social prefix; and venio, to come; the coming of two parties into one compact. The vendor gets the best terms he can, and the buyer aims at a bargain. Just the reverse of this is the divine covenant: frail sinful man is not exalted into co- partnership with the Almighty. The covenant is all grace to man, and dictated by the donor; man has but to consent to it with all his heart, and all his soul. The blessings and... read more
