申命記 7:23-26 JC

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:26

REFLECTIONS MY soul! pause over the review which thou hast made in this chapter, both of the enemies of Israel, and Israel's GOD driving them out before him. Bring home to thine own heart the circumstances of their spiritual state, and examine thy case by Israel's. Have you discovered that the same foes are now opposing your eternal welfare, as opposed Israel's conquest of Canaan? Have you felt their power, seen their malice, and learnt your own total inability to fight your way through them?... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:26

An anathema. That is, a thing devoted to destruction; and which carries along with it a curse. (Challoner) --- Like it. The curse rested upon those who kept any of the spoils. This brought death upon Achan, (Josue vii. 1,) and upon some of the soldiers of Judas the Machabee, who had secreted some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews, 2 Machabees xii. 40.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:12-26

12-26 We are in danger of having fellowship with the works of darkness if we take pleasure in fellowship with those who do such works. Whatever brings us into a snare, brings us under a curse. Let us be constant to our duty, and we cannot question the constancy of God's mercy. Diseases are God's servants; they go where he sends them, and do what he bids them. It is therefore good for the health of our bodies, thoroughly to mortify the sin of our souls; which is our rule of duty. Yet sin is... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 7:12-26

The Extermination of the Heathen Nations Enjoined v. 12. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord, thy God, shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which Ha sware unto thy fathers. He would fulfill all the promises of mercy given to the patriarchs, and He would carry out the terms of the covenant with respect to both rewards and punishments. v. 13. And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee, as manifestations... read more

Deuteronomy 7:1-261When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations [heathen] before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater [more numerous] and mightier than thou; 2And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee, [and] thou shalt smite them and utterly destroy them,1 thou shalt make no covenant with... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-26

What the Lord Does for His People Deuteronomy 7:12-26 The promises to obedience are enlarged upon with touching copiousness. Love, blessing, keeping, peace, multiplication, fruit and health lie along the narrow pathway entered by the strait gate of the Cross. However forbidding its entrance, it “leadeth unto life.” May Christ secure in us this obedience which He, too, demands and achieves by His Spirit! John 14:15 . Whatever be the strength of the Amalekites and Hittites of the heart, let us... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 7:1-26

Continuing to deal with the responsibilities of the people as they entered the land, Moses insisted upon the absolute necessity for the maintenance of the attitude of separation to God. Stringent instructions were given in this .matter. They must not compromise with the people of the land. They must not many with them because such alliance would result in corruption of the chosen people and their straying after other gods. Moreover, they were to sweep out all the signs of false religion,... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:22-23

LITTLE BY LITTLE!‘And the Lord thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little,’ etc. Deuteronomy 7:22-Isaiah : I. There can be no doubt that these passages represent the Jewish nation as bound to a perpetual conflict with idolatry.—The resistance was primarily an internal one. The members of the nation were never to bow down to natural or human symbols. But they were not merely to be tenacious of the true worship and watchful against the false; they were to go forth... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:16-26

They Must Thoroughly Cleanse The Land of Both Its Peoples and Its Idolatry, And He Himself Will Be With Them To Enable Them To Do It (Deuteronomy 7:16-26 ). This reference to their enemies who hate them leads back to the subject of the destruction of their enemies in the land. The land must be thoroughly cleansed of them. And they need not be afraid of them because Yahweh Himself will be with them to deliver them. (In this passage it is ‘thou’ (the nation as a whole) all the way through... read more
