신명기 33:1 KRV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1-5

1-5 To all his precepts, warnings, and prophecies, Moses added a solemn blessing. He begins with a description of the glorious appearances of God, in giving the law. His law works like fire. If received, it is melting, warming, purifying, and burns up the dross of corruption; if rejected, it hardens, sears, pains, and destroys. The Holy Spirit came down in cloven tongues, as of fire; for the gospel also is a fiery law. The law of God written in the heart, is a certain proof of the love of God... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

The Blessing of Moses. As the aged patriarch Jacob laid his blessing upon his sons in the form of prophecies, so Moses, before being gathered to his people, spoke a prophetic blessing upon the people whose leader he had been for forty years. By the inspiration of God he was able to foretell the fortunes of the individual tribes, both as an encouragement and as a warning to them. v. 1. And this is the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, who was distinguished by this honoring title, ... read more

THE BLESSING OF MOSESDeuteronomy 33:1-291And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2And he said,The Lord came from Sinai,And rose up [brake forth] from Seir unto them;He shined forth from Mount Paran,And he came with [out of] ten thousands of saints [myriads of holiness]:From his right hand went a fiery law for them [fire, law for them];13Yea, he loved [is cherishing] the people;All his saints are in thy hand:And they sat down... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-17

the Blessing of the Chosen People Deuteronomy 33:1-17 The glorious nature of God is the opening theme here. The reference is to the giving of the Law when, amid fire and the mediation of angels, God descended on Sinai, Psalms 18:7-9 ; Habakkuk 3:3-4 . Oh, that we, too, may sit as pupils in God’s school and receive His words, Deuteronomy 33:3 . Though Reuben could not excel, he was not forgotten. Simeon is omitted because of Numbers 25:14 . Judah was to receive prosperity in prayer, in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

Here we have the record of the final words of Moses to the nation. They also take the form of a song. Often he had set before the people cursing and blessing His last words were of blessing only. First, in stately and majestic language he affirmed anew the majesty of Jehovah. In the midst of these statements is a word which arrests us: “Yea, He loveth the people." It may be that the Hebrew word there might be rendered "tribes," and that the reference was to Israel. Personally, however, I... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1

Chapter 33 The Final Blessing of Moses On His People. The dying words of a righteous man were in those days seen as having special significance. It was recognised that at such a time a man might receive unusual insights, and his words were indeed seen as actually affecting that future in some way. We are given no context for the blessing which is simply slipped in here as the final words of Moses. Deuteronomy 33:1 ‘ And this is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

Deuteronomy 33. The Blessing of Moses.— Of this poem (quite unconnected with the context) the following statements may be made: ( a) It was composed during the prosperous reign of Jeroboam II (786– 746 B.C.) A date after the disruption is required by Deuteronomy 33:7; a period of prosperity by Deuteronomy 33:13-Esther :. Prior to 786 B.C. Israel had been ruled by petty kings, and after 746 B.C. the Northern Kingdom had a long and disastrous struggle with Damascus. ( b) The writer belonged... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1

He is said to bless them ministerially, partly by praying to God with faith for his blessing upon them; partly by foretelling the blessings which God would confer upon them, for the prophets are oft said to do what they foretell should be done, as Genesis 49:7; Jeremiah 1:10; Ezekiel 43:3; Hosea 6:5. And Moses calls himself here the man of God, i.e. the servant, or prophet, or minister of God, as this phrase signifies, 1 Samuel 9:6,1 Samuel 9:7; 1 Timothy 6:11, to acquaint them that the... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

CRITICAL NOTES.—Moses now performs the last great act of life and blesses the tribes of Israel. “The blessing opens with a solemn conclusion of the covenant and giving of the law at Sinai, by which the Lord became King of Israel, to indicate at the outset the source from which all blessings must flow to Israel (Deuteronomy 33:2-5). Then follow the separate blessings upon the different tribes” (Deuteronomy 33:6-25).—(Keil). Compare these blessings with those of Jacob (Genesis 27:40-46; Genesis... read more

Chapter 33Chapter thirty-three,Now this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel just before he died. And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints; Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
