Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

As we have told you the word Deuteronomy means the second law. It is really a rehearsal, sort of a capsulation by Moses of the law that was given. Deuteronomy itself, though it covers the forty years from Egypt to the entering in of the Promised Land, covered only about forty days, as far as the time of it being given to the children of Israel.Moses was now an aging man, however he was still very spry. He still had excellent eyesight, excellent hearing, none of his forces had abated. Sometimes... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 9:1-29

Deuteronomy 9:1 . This day; at this time, or in the course of a month. Day is often used in scripture for the whole of a man’s life, for a season, and for a short time. Deuteronomy 9:19 . I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure. To this text St. Paul refers, Hebrews 12:21. The fire on mount Sinai terrified the people at the promulgation of the law; but we do not read that Moses was terrified till God testified his anger by some most vivid appearance of the fire because of the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 9:1-6

Deuteronomy 9:1-6Hear, O Israel.The call to attentionI. He represents to them the formidable strength of the enemies which they were now to encounter (Deuteronomy 9:1-2). This representation is much the same with that which the evil spies had made (Numbers 13:28-29; Numbers 13:31-33), but made with a very different intention: that was designed to drive them from God, and to discourage their hope in Him; this, to drive them to God, and engage their hope in Him, since no power less than that... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 9:4-5

Deuteronomy 9:4-5Not for thy righteousness.That outward success, prosperity, and greatness in the world is no true evidence of graceI. Men are very prone to make the outward prosperity and increase which God giveth them an argument of their righteousness, and so of God’s love to them, to save them. They think it impossible that, seeing God hath so blessed them here, He should damn them hereafter. For the discovery of the weakness of this prop take notice first of these particulars.1.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:3

Deu 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God [is] he which goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. Ver. 3. As a consuming fire. ] The force whereof is violent and irresistible. "Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? Woe unto us! who shall deliver us?" &c., said those crest-fallen Philistines at the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 9:4

Deu 9:4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. Ver. 4. For my righteousness. ] We are all apt to weave a web of righteousness of our own, to spin a thread of our own to climb up to heaven by, to set a price upon ourselves above the market, to think great thoughts of... read more
