Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:1-49

CRITICAL NOTES.—From the mention of what God had done for Israel, Moses passes to the obedience of the law.

Judgments—civil enactments, public and private. The two denote the whole law in its leading features (Leviticus 19:37).Deuteronomy 4:2.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 4:1-49

Deuteronomy 4:2 . Ye shall not add unto the word. This would be to debase revelation, and treat the divine law as a defective production of man, that needed additions and retrenchments. Solon, the Athenian lawgiver, obtained an oath from the principal officers of the senate to observe his laws inviolate for ten years, till he should return from his travels. Besides, the tabernacle being a type of heaven, would utterly be gaited and marred by the fanciful rituals devised by men. Yet many... read more

Deuteronomy 4:1-40Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land.Moses’ discourse1. In general it is the use and application of the foregoing history. It comes in by way of inference from it (Deuteronomy 4:1). This use we should make of the review of God’s providences, we should by them be quickened to duty and obedience. The histories of ancient times should, in like manner, be... read more

For let us remark, first, that the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:1-40

DISCOURSES BY MOSES. First Discourse, Deuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 4:40. Addressing the people, with the Promised Land in their sight, Moses reviews the events that have occurred in their march from Horeb to the plains of Moab. He reminds them how God had fulfilled his promises, and how they had sinned, and by their unbelief and rebellion had been kept from entering into the promised possession; and he admonishes them not to forfeit by new transgressions the land they are destined to conquer. read more
