Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:5

Reader! do you know anything of this precept in your own experience? If so, bless the HOLY GHOST for shedding abroad this love in your heart: for he is the author of it. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:6-8

What can the imagination form of more loveliness, than that of beholding a pious parent encircled by his little family, to whom he is recounting the LORD'S gracious dealings with his soul. Reader! only picture to yourself a father, or a master, thus engaged, and then ask, whether the blessing of the LORD must not rest upon such households! And observe moreover, the care that is taken, by the Jewish law-giver, acting in his high character under GOD, to enforce religion as a personal thing, as... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:9-12

Observe, how the man of GOD speaks with confidence of the people's possessing Canaan, as if it were already in possession. Reader! do not overlook the sweet property of faith. And why should not true believers in JESUS speak with the same confidence of their heavenly inheritance, since he is gone before to take possession of it in their name John 14:1-2 . Observe also what stress Moses lays, upon the attention to a change of circumstances, when from, a wilderness state they are brought into the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:5

Whole heart....soul....and strength. God admits of no partner, nor will he suffer any rivulet to be drawn from the fountain of love, which is not ultimately referred to himself. Our neighbour we must love only for his sake, and by the observance of this two-fold precept, we shall fulfil the whole law and the prophets, Matthew xxii. 40. (Haydock) See St. Augustine, de Doct. i. 22. --- We must love God disinterestedly for his own sake: we must sacrifice our soul and life for his honour, with all... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:7

Tell. Hebrew, "thou shalt chew them" as nurses do bread for their little ones; or thou shalt "sharpen," like a razor, "explain clearly and often," these precepts, which are of the utmost importance. --- Meditate; speak of them to others, (Calmet) and entertain thyself with them in thy own heart. The mouth of the just man shall meditate wisdom, and (that is) his tongue shall speak judgment, Psalm xxxvi. 30., and Exodus xiii. 9. --- Sleeping. The spouse, in the canticle, (Canticle of... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:8

Sign, or seal, (Canticle of Canticles viii. 6.; Calmet) attached to the ring which the Jews wore on their fingers, (Haydock) to seal their letters, after they were enveloped and tied with linen. The Jews have bandages of vellum on their hand, with sentences of the law inscribed upon them, (Calmet) as well as others upon their forehead; while many get the whole law, particularly the Book of Deuteronomy, by heart: for which purpose, the Rabbins inform us, there were above 4000 schools and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:4-5

4,5 Here is a brief summary of religion, containing the first principles of faith and obedience. Jehovah our God is the only living and true God; he only is God, and he is but One God. Let us not desire to have any other. The three-fold mention of the Divine names, and the plural number of the word translated God, seem plainly to intimate a Trinity of persons, even in this express declaration of the unity of the Godhead. Happy those who have this one Lord for their God. It is better to have one... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:6-16

6-16 Here are means for maintaining and keeping up religion in our hearts and houses. 1. Meditation. God's words must be laid up in our hearts, that our thoughts may be daily employed about them. 2. The religious education of children. Often repeat these things to them. Be careful and exact in teaching thy children. Teach these truths to all who are any way under thy care. 3. Pious discourse. Thou shalt talk of these things with due reverence and seriousness, for the benefit not only of thy... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 6:1-15

The Emphatic Admonition v. 1. Now, these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, the general laws, the special ordinances which concerned Israel as the covenant people, and the observances which flow from the obligations which men owe to God and to their fellow-men, which the Lord, your God, commanded to teach you that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it; v. 2. that thou mightest fear the Lord, thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I... read more
