Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Deuteronomy 10:1-221At that time the Lord said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3And I made an ark of shittim [acacia] wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having [and] the two tables in mine hand. 4And he wrote on the tables, according to... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

What the Lord Requires of Us Deuteronomy 10:1-22 The second writing of the Law reminds us of the work wrought in us by the Holy Spirit. When first we hear the Law, we are condemned; but when we have repented and believed, God writes it on the fleshly tablets of our hearts, Hebrews 8:10 . Together with this deepening love and delight in God’s Law, we enter into the spiritual equivalent of Levi’s calling, standing to minister, and blessing in God’s name. Every word of the magnificent parable... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

In recounting the story of the writing of the Law the second time, Moses distinctly affirmed that these tables too were written by God Himself. This was the culminating word in all he had said to them concerning their unfaithfulness. Side by side with their failure had been the manifestation of the pity and forbearance of God. They were therefore now being called upon to enter the land in spite of their own unrighteousness because of the compassion of God and His set determination to carry... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:16-22

Their Required Response In The Light of What He Is, Is Now Expanded On (Deuteronomy 10:16-22 ). Deuteronomy 10:16 ‘ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your (of ye) heart, and be no more stiffnecked.’ In lieu of this, therefore, they, as a gathering of people, were all to circumcise the foreskins of their hearts, putting aside their obstinacy and stubbornness. They had to cast it from them. In other words just as the covering of their foreskin was removed in circumcision, so their obstinacy... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 10:17

Regardeth not persons, whether Jews or Gentiles, but deals justly and equally with all sorts of men; and as whosoever fears and obeys him shall be accepted of him, so all incorrigible transgressors shall be severely punished, and you no less than other people; therefore do not flatter yourselves as if God would bear with your sins because of his particular kindness to you or to your fathers. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

CRITICAL NOTES.—Deuteronomy 10:1. That time. The order for the ark was given before the apostasy of the people, cf. Exodus 25:0, and the tables were put into it after the dedication of the tabernacle. But Moses connects events related to each other for his own purpose without strict chronological order.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Chapter 10In chapter ten He continues of their failures during the wilderness experiences. And he's reminding them of the failure at the time when God had given to him the law on the two tables of stone. And how that when he came down from the mountain that the people had made this golden calf and were worshipping it and how the tables of stone were broken. And so he was commanded by the Lord to take two more tables of stone. And for another forty days and forty nights in fasting without water... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Deuteronomy 10:6 . Mosera: there Aaron died. In Numbers 20:28; Numbers 33:38-39, we read that Aaron died in mount Hor, which was seven days’ journey from Moseroth. This place is full of difficulties. Why are Aaron and Levi mentioned here at all? Because they were the guardians of the ark, and of the tables mentioned above; and because the Lord had pardoned Aaron. The difficulty respecting the place of Aaron’s death is thus accounted for by some that Israel, intimidated by the advantages... read more
