Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:7

The line is here drawn, as it is in many other parts of the word of GOD, between the righteous and the wicked. Isaiah 65:13-15 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:8-10

These are all so many beautiful repetitions of GOD'S mercy and love to his people. I would beg the Reader in this place to remark with me, how the HOLY GHOST, by his servant Moses, hath altered the phrase concerning JEHOVAH. In the former chapters, while the LORD is holding forth his denunciations against Israel's rebellion, he is proclaimed in his great and incommunicable character of JEHOVAH. But in this chapter, when Moses is commanded to proclaim him in his covenant relationship, as a GOD... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:6

Circumcise. Septuagint, "purify." Chaldean, "take away the folly from." After the captivity, idolatry was never very prevalent among the Jews. (Haydock) --- But this prediction will not be fulfilled till the Jews acknowledge the Messias. (Calmet) --- Those whose hearts are circumcised, as God here promises, are enabled to love him above all things; and no doubt he will fulfil what he has thus engaged to do, with regard to some. (Worthington) (St. Augustine, q. 53.) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:9

Fathers. He will again take a pleasure in bestowing favours upon thee, (Calmet) of a spiritual and more lasting nature. Hence the Jews may understand that they have not yet repented, as they ought to do; since they have been under the wrath of God for above 1500 years. (Salien) (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

1-10 In this chapter is a plain intimation of the mercy God has in store for Israel in the latter days. This passage refers to the prophetic warnings of the last two chapters, which have been mainly fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and in their dispersion to the present day; and there can be no doubt that the prophetic promise contained in these verses yet remain to come to pass. The Jewish nation shall in some future period, perhaps not very distant, be converted to the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

Mercies Promised to the Obedient v. 1. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse which I have set before thee, and history shows that the fulfillment of the curse came exactly as threatened by the Lord, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord, thy God, hath driven thee, for the bitter misery of their condition would bring at least some of the people to their senses, v. 2. and shalt return unto the Lord, thy... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

Deuteronomy 30:1-201And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set [given] before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind [thou turnest it back (takest) to thy heart] among all the nations [heathen] whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, 2And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart [with thine whole heart] and with... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

Promises to Returning Wanderers Deuteronomy 30:1-10 The Hebrew people have often turned to this chapter in the belief that the day must come when God will pity their forlorn condition and restore them from “the outmost parts of heaven.” They do not consider that the promise was fulfilled in the return of a handful of their race under Nehemiah and Ezra. The precious promise of Deuteronomy 30:6 , where the initial rite of Judaism is to have its spiritual fulfillment, should be compared with... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

Continuing his discourse, Moses uttered words thrilling at first with tenderness and urgent appeal. In the first ten verses of the chapter we have the long look ahead of love. He seems to have seen the people in the conditions which he had predicted must result from disobedience, scattered far off from their own land. He saw them, however, returning in spirit to God as the result of severe discipline. In view of this, he saw how ready God would ever be to receive and pardon them when they... read more
