L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

GOD: MAJESTIC AND FAITHFUL (vs.l-4) In these four verses the introduction of this song of Moses is both magnificent and beautiful. The heavens and the earth are called to hear the faithful words from the mouth of the Lord. His teaching drops as the rain, not like a cloudburst, but as the refreshing, nourishing dew on the land or as showers on the grass. How well it would be with us if we received it as such, appreciating its living value and refreshment. For it begins, not with what we may... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-43

THE CLOSE OF MOSES ’ LIFE ENCOURAGEMENT (Deuteronomy 31:1-8 ) The law has been rehearsed and Moses’ exhortation is drawing to a conclusion. Several days may have been occupied in the review covered by Deuteronomy thus far. And now, Israel, by its leaders, having been gathered together at the place of meeting, Moses is apprising them of his imminent departure. Though advanced in years (Deuteronomy 31:2 ), was he conscious of mental or physical decay (Deuteronomy 34:7 )? Can you perceive a... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

The Song of Moses Deuteronomy 32:0 What interest can we have in the study of events which occurred thousands of years ago? If that is the question which we put to ourselves, no wonder the answer is sometimes disappointing. We do not study the events which happened thousands of years ago. That would be too narrow a way of putting the case; we might then be mere antiquarians, deeply interested in something that transpired innumerable centuries since. We are not studying the events. We are... read more

Even people void of understanding, in divine truths, may consider the sure consequence of sin. The wages of sin is, and must be death. Romans 6:23 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:30-38

There are two ways of reading those verses. If we consider the words, How should one Israelite chase a thousand? we must then view the salvation of Israel, as effected by GOD. But if we consider the words, rather as corresponding to a deserted state by reason of Israel's sin, it will then appear; that the timidity of Israel ariseth, in that the LORD hath given them into the hands of their enemies. See Isaiah 30:17 . The contrast drawn between the confidence of GOD'S enemies, and the GOD of his... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:30

Thousand. In the battles which the Israelites had fought, the hand of God had appeared so visibly in their defence, giving them the victory over nations much more numerous, (Calmet) that all must confess their defeat must be in punishment of some former transgression, and that it is not the mighty hand of the enemy, but God himself, who chastises his people, as he had foretold, chap. xxviii. 7, 25, 49. (Haydock) --- Of this the neighbouring nations were convinced, as Achior declared to the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:31

Judges. The Egyptians, Amalecites, &c., had witnessed the miracles which God had now wrought for 40 years' time, in favour of his people. (Haydock) --- They knew also how the Israelites had been punished for their sins. (Menochius) --- Though they followed a false religion themselves, they could discern the beauty of the true one. (Worthington) --- Video meliora proboque---Deteriora sequor. (Ovid) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:26-38

26-38 The idolatry and rebellions of Israel deserved, and the justice of God seemed to demand, that they should be rooted out. But He spared Israel, and continues them still to be living witnesses of the truth of the Bible, and to silence unbelievers. They are preserved for wise and holy purposes and the prophecies give us some idea what those purposes are. The Lord will never disgrace the throne of his glory. It is great wisdom, and will help much to the return of sinners to God, seriously to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 32:19-43

Jehovah's Sentence and its Execution v. 19. And when the Lord saw it, by the testimony of His own personal observation, He abhorred them, He rejected them with a feeling of bitterness, because of the provoking, the vexation, the grief, of His sons and of His daughters. The behavior of the children of Israel caused the Lord to plan their rejection with a severe punishment. v. 20. And He said, I will hide My face from them, withdraw His mercy, be inaccessible to all their pleading for... read more
