James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Review and Prospect Deuteronomy 3:0 Is it not remarkable that good causes and good men should meet with constant opposition? We are now perusing the history of a journey which was undertaken by divine direction, and again and again almost on every page we come upon the fact that the journey was from end to end bitterly opposed. Probably, if the people had started on a pilgrimage at their own suggestion, they could hardly have encountered severer hostility. We may even go further and say Had... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 3:24

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "Thou hast begun to skew thy servant thy greatness." Deu 3:24 This is what is always happening. The broadest revelation is but a beginning of the disclosure of divine riches. Even if there be no more seed given, the possibilities of growth and development are infinite. At the last we shall feel that we have but begun to see the greatness of God. This is the glory of the Bible: no man can read it through with the feeling that he has exhausted its whole... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:23-25

As this is a very interesting part in the life of Moses, and as the subject held forth to us in it is highly instructive, I would beg the Reader to pause over it, and remark with me some of the sweet considerations which arise out of it. And first, consider the mercy prayed for. It was to see that good land, which was Canaan, the glory of all lands, as the Prophet called it. Ezekiel 20:6 . But it was not simply the good land of Canaan, considered in respect to its fruitfulness and excellency,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:21-29

21-29 Moses encouraged Joshua, who was to succeed him. Thus the aged and experienced in the service of God, should do all they can to strengthen the hands of those who are young, and setting out in religion. Consider what God has done, what God has promised. If God be for us, who can be against us, so as to prevail? We reproach our Leader if we follow him trembling. Moses prayed, that, if it were God's will, he might go before Israel, over Jordan into Canaan. We should never allow any desires... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 3:21-29

A Charge to Joshua v. 21. And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord, your God, hath done unto these two kings; so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. The conquered lands of the vanquished kings were lying before Joshua's eight, and this fact gave Joshua a perpetual guarantee of the Lord's assistance in the work which was still before him, which he must do after the death of Moses. v. 22. Ye shall not fear them, this was more... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

I. THE FIRST DISCOURSEDeuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 4:401. The command of God for the breaking up from Horeb—and the promise. (Deuteronomy 1:6-8).6The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all [his neighbors—see marg.] the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea-side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-22

the Inheritance of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh Deuteronomy 3:1-22 Sihon’s defeat, described in the previous chapter, compelled his ally Og to take the field and oppose the further advance of Israel. “ He came out ” against them. Perhaps also Joshua 24:12 affords a clue. Swarms of hornets harassed him and his people, and drove them out of their stone houses and fortifications; they preferred meeting the chosen race in the open to the scourge of these formidable creatures. When God says, “Fear... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:23-29

“Take Heed to Thyself” Deuteronomy 3:23-29 ; Deuteronomy 4:1-14 Strong faith was required by the two and a half tribes to leave their wives and children while they went to succor their brethren. But God’s commands and assurances foreclosed all arguments. Whenever we are summoned to special service, we may consign the care of our personal interests to God. Seek first the kingdom, and all other things will be added. Notice that Moses referred to the wondrous acts of the Exodus as only the ... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Turning Backward Deuteronomy 2:1-37 and Deuteronomy 3:1-29 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Last week we closed with God's refusal to permit the Children of Israel to go into the land of Canaan. They had come up to Kadesh-barnea; they had sent spies into the land, but they had rebelled against the Lord and had not believed Him. For this cause, and because of their murmurings, the Lord said, "Turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness." Last week we saw that God had told them of how they started... read more
