Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Deuteronomy 32:1-John : . Moses’ Song is a didactic poem, a theodicy in which Yahweh’ s ways are vindicated. In its sentiments and artistic form it is unsurpassed in the poetry of the OT. Its dominant theme is Yahweh’ s justice and lovingkindness to Israel notwithstanding the nation’ s sinfulness. It is impossible to fix the date of this poem with any confidence. But points of contact with Jer., Isaiah 40-55, Ezek., and the Wisdom literature suggest the closing years of the Exile (say 550... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Delitz). The poem divided into six parts.Deuteronomy 32:1-3. Introductory, importance of doctrine... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Deuteronomy 32:1 . Give ear, oh ye heavens, and I will speak. This ode, which is full of rhythm, and of almost every poetic excellence and beauty, has been called the Swan song of Moses, who died singing sublime but mournful notes. The principal words have been much copied by future prophets. It is carmen seculare, a song to the age, of truth, not of flattery. Deuteronomy 32:2 . My doctrine shall drop as the rain. In hieroglyphic writing, rain often designates knowledge and science,... read more
