Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-10

Chapter 30 God’s Continuing Mercy. This chapter begins by recognising that both the blessings and the cursings described in Deuteronomy 28:0 will finally have their effects. Moses was fully aware that God had not at this stage permanently given to His earthly people a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear as he had said (Deuteronomy 29:4). It was he himself who had declared that they were a stiffnecked people (Deuteronomy 9:6) and needed to be circumcised in heart (Deuteronomy 10:16).... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 30:6

The Lord will circumcise thine heart, or, for the Lord will circumcise thine heart, i.e. will by his word and Spirit change and purge thy heart from all thine idolatry, and superstition, and wickedness, and incline thy heart to love him, as it here follows. See Deuteronomy 10:16. And so this is produced to show why and how those great things should be accomplished; God would first convert and sanctify them, the fruit whereof should be this, that they should return and obey God’s commandments,... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 30:9

Whereas thou didst formerly receive and enjoy these mercies for thy hurt, through thy own wicked and foolish heart, when thou wast full and fat, forgetting God, and kicking against him, Deuteronomy 31:20; Deuteronomy 32:15, now thou shalt have them for thy good; thy heart shall be so changed by the grace of the gospel that thou shalt not now abuse them, but employ them to the more cheerful and faithful service of God, the giver of them. Rejoice over thee for good, i.e. to do thee good; as he... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 30:10

This caution and condition is added to warn them that they should not receive the grace of God in vain, and to teach them that the grace of God doth not discharge man’s obligation to his duty, nor excuse him for the neglect of it, and that conversion and sanctification, though it be God’s work, yet it is man’s duty. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—Israel were rejected and exiled on account of apostacy, but not absolutely east off for ever. If they would return to the Lord he would turn his favour towards them again, and gather them out of dispersion.Deuteronomy 30:1-3. Mind, bethink themselves, not mere recollection, but consideration of their conduct and condition. Return (Deuteronomy 30:2) from idolatry to the service of Jehovah; in penitence and obedience. Thy captivity, Deuteronomy 30:3. Not to bring back the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

Chapter 30.It shall come to pass when all these things are come upon thee the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and you call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God has driven thee ( Deuteronomy 30:1 ).In other words, you are driven out of the land and you're in captivity and you remember what God has said.And you return unto the LORD your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all of your... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

Deuteronomy 30:5 . The Lord thy God will bring thee into the land, when thou art penitent, by the marvellous munificence of Darius, and of Cyrus his nephew. What a luminous vision of future things! The Jews and many christians hope for a second gathering in the latter day. See notes on the last ten chapters of Ezekiel. Deuteronomy 30:6 . Circumcise thy heart, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. Love, perfect love, is the consummation of the law. Here is proof that the temporal... read more

Deuteronomy 30:6Circumcise thine heart. CircumcisionCircumcision was the sign of the covenant God made with Abraham, mention of which we have in Genesis 17:1-27, and which the first martyr, St. Stephen, quoted in that remarkable address in Acts 7:8, where he said, “And He gave him the Covenant of Circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day.” And St. Paul in writing to the Romans 4:11, speaking of Abraham, says, “And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal... read more
