F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:1-17

the Rewards of Obedience Deuteronomy 11:1-17 In this chapter the introductory portion of this book closes, and two final arguments are brought to bear on the chosen people, to induce them to love God and keep His charge. The one has already been referred to, consisting of those awful judgments with which God had punished the stiff-neckedness of Pharaoh and the rebellions of the Wilderness. We may as well learn sooner than later, that God will have us holy, and if we will not yield to His... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

As Moses concluded his great call to the people to the pathway of obedience, he reminded them what varied experiences they had had from which they knew the nature of the government and power of God. He wooed them toward obedience by speaking of the excellencies of the land to which they were going and by contrasting it with the land of Egypt from which they had come. Egypt was the place of forced cultivation. The new land was one watered, and loved, and watched by God. For all material... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 11:10

i.e. With great pains and labour of thy feet, partly by going up and down to fetch water and disperse it, and partly by digging furrows with thy foot, and using engines for distributing the water, which engines they thrust with their feet. For though the river Nilus did once in a year overflow the grounds, and made them fruitful, yet ofttimes it failed or scanted them, and then they were put to great pains about their ground; and when it did overflow sufficiently, and left its mud upon the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

Chapter 11In chapter eleven he continues his warnings to them, as they are about to come into the land. And he reminds them again of the miracles that God did for them in bringing them out of Egypt. How He spoiled the Pharaoh and all of his land, how He destroyed the armies of Egypt there in the Red Sea, and how He watched over them, nurtured them, kept them, preserved them all through the wilderness right up to this moment and what He did to those that rebelled against them. Dathan and Abiram,... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 11:1-32

Deuteronomy 11:10 . Water it with thy foot. Egypt was watered periodically by the overflowing of the Nile; and the husbandman, following the retiring waters, sowed his seed. When the droughty season came on, the country being intersected with canals, they watered the corn with machines worked by the foot. The overflowing of rivers is finely improved in the sacred writings. “Thou visitest the earth and waterest it, thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God.” Psalms 65:9. Of the... read more
