Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:6-23

6-23 The order in which the tribes are here blessed, is not the same as is observed elsewhere. The blessing of Judah may refer to the whole tribe in general, or to David as a type of Christ. Moses largely blesses the tribe of Levi. Acceptance with God is what we should all aim at, and desire, in all our devotions, whether men accept us or not, 2 Corinthians 5:9. This prayer is a prophecy, that God will keep up a ministry in his church to the end of time. The tribe of Benjamin had their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

The Blessing of Moses. As the aged patriarch Jacob laid his blessing upon his sons in the form of prophecies, so Moses, before being gathered to his people, spoke a prophetic blessing upon the people whose leader he had been for forty years. By the inspiration of God he was able to foretell the fortunes of the individual tribes, both as an encouragement and as a warning to them. v. 1. And this is the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, who was distinguished by this honoring title, ... read more

THE BLESSING OF MOSESDeuteronomy 33:1-291And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2And he said,The Lord came from Sinai,And rose up [brake forth] from Seir unto them;He shined forth from Mount Paran,And he came with [out of] ten thousands of saints [myriads of holiness]:From his right hand went a fiery law for them [fire, law for them];13Yea, he loved [is cherishing] the people;All his saints are in thy hand:And they sat down... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Deuteronomy 33:16

Deuteronomy ‘AT THE BUSH’ Deu_33:16 I Think this is the only reference in the Old Testament to that great vision which underlay Moses’ call and Israel’s deliverance. It occurs in what is called ‘the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before his death,’ although modern opinion tends to decide that this hymn is indeed much more recent than the days of Moses. There seems a peculiar appropriateness in this reference being put into the mouth of the ancient... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-17

the Blessing of the Chosen People Deuteronomy 33:1-17 The glorious nature of God is the opening theme here. The reference is to the giving of the Law when, amid fire and the mediation of angels, God descended on Sinai, Psalms 18:7-9 ; Habakkuk 3:3-4 . Oh, that we, too, may sit as pupils in God’s school and receive His words, Deuteronomy 33:3 . Though Reuben could not excel, he was not forgotten. Simeon is omitted because of Numbers 25:14 . Judah was to receive prosperity in prayer, in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

Here we have the record of the final words of Moses to the nation. They also take the form of a song. Often he had set before the people cursing and blessing His last words were of blessing only. First, in stately and majestic language he affirmed anew the majesty of Jehovah. In the midst of these statements is a word which arrests us: “Yea, He loveth the people." It may be that the Hebrew word there might be rendered "tribes," and that the reference was to Israel. Personally, however, I... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

Deuteronomy 33. The Blessing of Moses.— Of this poem (quite unconnected with the context) the following statements may be made: ( a) It was composed during the prosperous reign of Jeroboam II (786– 746 B.C.) A date after the disruption is required by Deuteronomy 33:7; a period of prosperity by Deuteronomy 33:13-Esther :. Prior to 786 B.C. Israel had been ruled by petty kings, and after 746 B.C. the Northern Kingdom had a long and disastrous struggle with Damascus. ( b) The writer belonged... read more
