Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:20-22

False Prophets will Arise. The Test of A True Prophet (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 ). Deuteronomy 18:20 “ But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.” But the danger was that false prophets would also arise.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:9-22

Deuteronomy 18:9-Song of Solomon : . Concerning the Prophet.— The Israelites are to consult Yahweh through His accredited messenger the prophet, and not through diviners who seek oracles by heathen methods. There is no parallel law in JE because about 800 B.C. and earlier the religious community was simple and undifferentiated: nor in P, where the priest is everything. For the several technical terms in Deuteronomy 18:10 f. (all denoting diviners of various kinds), see EBi. 1117, 2895, and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

Chapter 18Now again he repeats how the tribe of Levi is not to be given any portion of the land but they will eat the offerings that were given unto the Lord made by fire as their inheritance for the Lord is their inheritance. And thus the priest, when he offered a sacrifice, they were to give the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks and the maw.Also they were to give to the priest the first fruit of their corn, and of their wine, and of their oil and the first of the fleece of thy sheep... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

Deuteronomy 18:1 . They shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire. The sin- offerings, except the skin and the fat, which were burnt on the altar. The ecclesiastics having relinquished the two great sources of wealth, lands and trade, it was but common justice that the laymen should give the guardians of the altar a suitable supply of food and raiment for them and their families. Deuteronomy 18:10 . Useth divination. One who attempts to discover secrets in a supernatural way. The... read more
