G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

Lest We Forget Deuteronomy 8:1-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We remember a verse which reads, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." There are some who desire to hold themselves completely to the New Testament message for the Church. This, however, cannot be right, in view of the Scripture we have just quoted. The Old Testament is filled with messages to Israel, or, concerning Israel, which have a... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—In addition to the danger of being ensnared by idolatry, after their settlement in Canaan, Israel might fall into pride and forget God in the enjoyment of its products. To guard against this, Moses reviews the past and indicates the Divine purpose in the 40 years’ wanderings.Deuteronomy 8:1. Renewed admonition to keep the law.Deuteronomy 8:2. Remember that God’s designs may be realised and right effects produced (Deuteronomy 13:3; 2 Chronicles 32:31). Humble, i.e., to bring them... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

By a miracle the Lord preserved the clothes of the Israelites from wearing and decay, or by means of trade and war with the supplies they brought from Egypt, and by their own manufactures in the deserts; for they were never seen in nakedness and rags. The beautiful cloth of the tabernacle was all manufactured in the vicinity of mount Sinai; consequently, they could do much towards manufacturing their own raiment. Deuteronomy 8:9 . Dig brass. ... read more

We need a good memory and a good forgettery.I. First, then, the past; we are to remember it. The old lawgiver sought to make the nation’s great history sacramental. Much might well be forgotten.
