What God Is And Why He Has Chosen Them (Deuteronomy 10:14-15 ). Deuteronomy 10:14 ‘ Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.’ For it was necessary for them to recognise Him for what He is.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:16-22

Their Required Response In The Light of What He Is, Is Now Expanded On (Deuteronomy 10:16-22 ). Deuteronomy 10:16 ‘ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your (of ye) heart, and be no more stiffnecked.’ In lieu of this, therefore, they, as a gathering of people, were all to circumcise the foreskins of their hearts, putting aside their obstinacy and stubbornness.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 10:16

Rest not in your bodily circumcision, but seriously set upon that substantial work which is signified and designed thereby: cleanse your hearts from all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, which is fitly compared to the foreskin, which if not cut off, made persons profane, unclean, and odious in the sight of God.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Chapter 10In chapter ten He continues of their failures during the wilderness experiences. And he's reminding them of the failure at the time when God had given to him the law on the two tables of stone.
