Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 1:3-4

(3, 4) Moses spake unto the children of Israel . . . after he had slain Sihon . . . and Og.—The conquest of these two kings and their territories was one of the exploits of the fortieth year. (See Numbers 21:21-35.) Before the eleventh month of that year, not only Sihon and Og, but also the five princes of Midian, “who were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country” (Joshua 13:21), had also been slain (Numbers 31:0). This completed the conquest, and was the last exploit of Moses’ life. In the... read more

Imperative and Desirable Changes Deuteronomy 1:6 ' The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb.' And He has been saying it at intervals ever since to communities and families and individuals, and often to their pain and wonder. I. On one side of our human nature we are never satisfied, always craving for enlargement and novelty. But on another side we are satisfied far too easily; we want to settle down in comfort, to be undisturbed, to rest and be content with the amount of knowledge we have, or... read more

THE DIVINE GOVERNMENTDeuteronomy 1:1-46; Deuteronomy 2:1-37; Deuteronomy 3:1-29AFTER these preliminary discussions we now enter upon the exposition. With the exception of the first two verses of chapter 1, concerning which there is a doubt whether they do not belong to Numbers, these three chapters stand out as the first section of our book. Examination shows that they form a separate and distinct whole, not continued in chapter 4; but there has been a great diversity of opinion as to their... read more

Analysis and Annotations I. THE FIRST DISCOURSE OF MOSES AND RETROSPECT 1. The Introduction CHAPTER 1:1-5 The people were still on this side of Jordan in the wilderness. The second verse, containing a parenthetical statement, gives the story of their unbelief, as recorded in the Book of Numbers. “There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.” They might have reached the place they occupied now, facing Jordan and the land, in eleven days. It took them... read more

1:2([There are] eleven days’ [journey] from {c} Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)(c) In Horeb, or Sinai, forty years before the law was given: but because all that were then of age and judgment were now dead, Moses repeats the same to the youth who either then were not born, or had not judgment. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

THE COMMAND TO LEAVE HOREB (vs.1-8) In Numbers 32:1-42 Israel is seen to remain in the area east of Jordan long enough for the two and a half tribes to build cities. Thus God required no haste as to their entering the land. These addresses of Moses in Deuteronomy were delivered at that time, spoken to "all Israel" (v.1). Moses must have maintained a powerful voice (at age 120 years) to be able to make possible 3,000.000 people hear him! Verse 2 tells that from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

REVIEW OF ISRAEL ’S HISTORY A book written by Canon Bernard entitled The Progress of Doctrine in the New Testament, shows not only that the contents of its books are inspired, but their arrangement and order as well. The same might be said of the Old Testament, especially of the Pentateuch. To illustrate, the purpose of the Bible is to give the history of redemption through a special seed. In Genesis we have the election of that seed (Abraham), in Exodus their redemption, in Leviticus their... read more

Remarkable Things Deu 1:6 This is the first remarkable thing in the opening chapter of the fifth book of Moses. God knows, then, how long we have been here or there. Our downsitting and our uprising, our going out and our coming in, are of consequence to him who made us. He keeps the time: he knows when we have been "long enough" in one place. He does not always consult us, saying, in terms of affectionate inquiry, Would you desire to tarry longer here? would it suit you to remain another... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:2

It is equally to be observed, the time specified yet remaining to be fulfilled; to show how exact the LORD is to his word, and to his promise: Reader! let you and I pause in the several parts of our pilgrimage state; and depend upon it, we shall find also, no less, how faithful our GOD is. This is one of our GOD'S precepts, and the observance of it is its own reward; to remember how the LORD hath dealt by us, that we may know the righteousness of the LORD. Micah 6:5 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:3

I would beg the Reader yet further to remark, from the great particularity observed, that it is not a thing of small moment to notice, where, and when, and how, divine manifestations are made to us. This memorable spot, this memorable time and manner, no doubt were sweet to Israel, when Moses halted in the journey to speak to the people once more in the name of the LORD. And is it not sweet, very sweet to us, when JESUS at any time, or in any place, arrests our souls in our pilgrimage, to speak... read more
