Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:24-40

24-40 Moses urged the greatness, glory, and goodness of God. Did we consider what a God he is with whom we have to do, we should surely make conscience of our duty to him, and not dare to sin against him. Shall we forsake a merciful God, who will never forsake us, if we are faithful unto him? Whither can we go? Let us be held to our duty by the bonds of love, and prevailed with by the mercies of God to cleave to him. Moses urged God's authority over them, and their obligations to him. In... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 4:14-24

Warning Against Idolatry v. 14. And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it, namely, the precepts contained in the legislation beginning with Exodus 21. v. 15. Take ye, therefore, good heed unto yourselves, every one was to watch carefully over his soul; for ye saw no manner of similitude, no form or outline which could be used as the basis for a picture, on the day that the Lord spake unto you... read more

The separation of the Cities of Refuge as a pause to the first discourse.Deuteronomy 4:41-4341Then [After that] Moses severed three cities on this [that] side Jordan, toward the sun-rising; 42That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares [without design] and hated him not in times past [yesterday, the third day]; 43and that fleeing [and flee] unto one of these cities he might live: Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of [for] the Reubenites; and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:15-31

Jehovah “a Jealous God” Deuteronomy 4:15-31 How often Moses repeats, “ take heed. ” We must watch as well as pray and keep our souls diligently. We must specially beware of idols-that is, any visible thing which takes the place of the unseen and eternal, veiling it from our view. The soul must learn to lean on the everlasting arm. How true that description of the iron furnace! The metaphor is derived from the process of smelting metal. We have had our Egypts, where by trials the real ore of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 4:1-49

On the ground of this survey Moser exhorted the people to be obedient, His appeal was based on the greatness of their God and the perfection of His law. Their whole existence as a nation centered around a spiritual ideal. Therefore, he re-emphasized the importance of their attempting to make no likeness to God. Looking on into the future, he uttered words which in the light of subsequent history are seen to have been prophetic. He actually foretold the story of the corruption of the people in... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:1-49

Parting Words Deuteronomy 4:1-49 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is, perhaps, strange to some that we speak of the fourth chapter of Deuteronomy as "Parting words," yet the whole Book of Deuteronomy centers in the final message which Moses gave to the Children of Israel. You remember in Deuteronomy 3:27 God had told Moses of his being permitted to ascend to the top of Pisgah and behold the promised land. The actual ascent is described in chapter 34, Deuteronomy 34:1 . Moses was 120 years of age. He had... read more

They Are To Remember That Yahweh Is Without Form, And Is A Consuming Fire, And Must Therefore Avoid Making Any Graven Image for Worship Purposes For That Would Be to Adulterate and Misrepresent Yahweh (Deuteronomy 4:15-24 ). a Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire (Deuteronomy 4:15). b Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourselves a graven image in the form of any figure, the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:1-40

Deuteronomy 4:1-Matthew : . Second Part of Moses’ First Address.— This contains exhortations to obedience from motives of self-interest and of gratitude to Yahweh, and forms an apparent logical unity with Deuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 3:29: but the two pieces had probably a separate origin. The lessons in Deuteronomy 4:1-Matthew : are not drawn immediately from chs. 1– 3. The writer of 1– 3 has in mind the events which followed the departure from Horeb: that of Deuteronomy 4:1-Matthew :... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 4:24

A consuming fire; a just and terrible God, who, notwithstanding his special relation to thee, will severely punish and destroy thee if thou provokest him by idolatry, or other ways. A jealous God, who being espoused to thee, will be highly incensed against thee, (if thou followest after other lovers, or committest whoredom with idols,) and will bear no rival or partner. read more
