Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1

Ver. 1. Give ear, O ye heavens— Nothing can be more elegant and magnificent than the exordium of this divine ode: its whole disposition and form is regular, easy, and accommodated to the nature of the argument, in an order nearly historical. It contains a great variety of important matter: the truth and justice of God; his paternal love, and most propense benignity to his peculiar people: and, on the other hand, the ungrateful and rebellious temper of this people; then the ardour of the divine... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 32:2

Ver. 2. My doctrine shall drop as the rain— That is, As the rain which falls upon the earth is ordained to fertilize and nourish the plants and animals, so the heavenly doctrine, proceeding from God himself, is proper to open the understanding, soften the heart, and produce the most happy fruits. This metaphor is frequently used in Scripture, as well as in prophane authors. See Job 29:22.Isaiah 45:8; Isaiah 45:8; Isaiah 55:10-11. Pro 25:14 and Homer, Iliad. 3: ver. 222. The corresponding clause... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 32:3

Ver. 3. Because I will publish the name of the Lord— Houbigant renders it, Whilst I shall celebrate the name of the Lord; which seems to be right. Moses's subject is the celebration of the great Jehovah; and to this great subject he calls the heavens and the earth to be attentive: at the same time exhorting the people to join with him in the exalted theme, and to celebrate the infinite power and supreme dominion of the great object of their adoration. Ascribe ye greatness unto our God— The... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 32:4

Ver. 4. He is the rock— Houbigant translates thus: Creatoris perfecta sunt opera; the Creator's work is perfect. We interpret הצור hatzur, says he, of the Creator: for the word is derived in this place from צור tzur, to form, to effect; as פעלו paalo, his work, demonstrates; not from צור tzur, a rock: for this appellation of God is then used, when God is considered as a refuge for salvation, or, a rock of salvation; or when at any time allusion is made to a similitude drawn from a rock: but no... read more

Ver. 5. They have corrupted themselves, &c.— Is there corruption in Him? no: but of his children the spot is theirs. Dr. Waterland. Houbigant renders it: They are corrupt: they are not his children: They are blotted: a wicked, and perverse generation. In which version he follows the Samaritan and several others. Dr. Lowth, though he gives, as we shall soon see, a different interpretation, and as good a one, perhaps, as can be offered of the Hebrew text, yet rather agrees with Houbigant in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1

1. Give ear, O ye heavens; . . . hear, O earth—The magnificence of the exordium, the grandeur of the theme, the frequent and sudden transitions, the elevated strain of the sentiments and language, entitle this song to be ranked amongst the noblest specimens of poetry to be found in the Scriptures. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:2

2, 3. My doctrine shall drop, c.—The language may justly be taken as uttered in the form of a wish or prayer, and the comparison of wholesome instruction to the pure, gentle, and insinuating influence of rain or dew, is frequently made by the sacred writers (Isaiah 5:6 Isaiah 55:10; Isaiah 55:11). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:4

4. He is the Rock—a word expressive of power and stability. The application of it in this passage is to declare that God had been true to His covenant with their fathers and them. Nothing that He had promised had failed; so that if their national experience had been painfully checkered by severe and protracted trials, notwithstanding the brightest promises, that result was traceable to their own undutiful and perverse conduct; not to any vacillation or unfaithfulness on the part of God (James... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 32:5

5. They have corrupted themselves—that is, the Israelites by their frequent lapses and their inveterate attachment to idolatry. their spot is not the spot of his children—This is an allusion to the marks which idolaters inscribe on their foreheads or their arms with paint or other substances, in various colors and forms—straight, oval, or circular, according to the favorite idol of their worship. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 32:1-4

Moses called on the whole earth to listen to what follows (Deuteronomy 32:1-2). The subject of this song would be God. The "name" of God is the expression of His character as He revealed this. The purpose of the song is that everyone would recognize God as the great God He is and that His people would respond to Him appropriately. By comparing his teaching to rain and dew, Moses was saying it would be a life-giving blessing to the Israelites. Rain and dew were major sources of blessing in the... read more
