申命記 31:28 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:22-30

Here, I. The charge is given to Joshua, which God has said (Deut. 31:14) he would give him. The same in effect that Moses had given him. The same in effect that Moses had given him (Deut. 31:7): Be strong and of a good courage, Deut. 31:23. Joshua had now heard from God so much of the wickedness of the people whom he was to have the conduct of as could not but be a discouragement to him: ?Nay,? says God, ?how bad soever they are, thou shalt go through thy understanding, for I will be with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:28

Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers ,.... The heads of the tribes, the princes, and all other inferior magistrates: that I may speak these words in their ears ; not the words of the law, but of the song which he was ordered to write, and is recorded in the following chapter: and call heaven and earth to record against them ; to bear witness of what he delivered to them, and to bear witness against them should they transgress the laws he gave them; and to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 31:28

Verse 28 28.Gather to me all the elders of your tribes. Special reference is here made to the Song, which we gather from the last verse to have been alone recited. Moses, indeed, appears to contradict himself when he commands the elders and officers only to be called to listen, whereas he soon afterwards records that he read it to the whole people. But these two things are easily reconciled, when we remember the order which he was accustomed to observe in gathering the multitude together; for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:9-29

The honor appertaining to God's Law. As our Lord, in the near prospect of death, employed his thoughts in comforting and instructing others, so Moses, instead of centering his thought upon himself, is only more eager to provide for the people's future obedience. Inasmuch as his days on earth were now very few, he yearned to crowd into them as much counsel and kindly warning as it was possible. To be of service to Israel—this absorbed the passions and desires of his soul. I. GOD 'S ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:16-29

The last precaution against idolatry. We cannot trace into all its ramifications the subtle influence of a good man's life. If it does not accomplish all that he has desired, it often achieves more than he imagines. It operates in directions he had not designed. The presence of a good man will often repress an evil which he cannot eradicate. All the faith and piety of Moses had hardly restrained the people from idolatry; his removal will be the loosening of the flood-gates which had held... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:16-30

God's foresight of Israel's declension. We learn— I. THAT THE FUTURE IS PERFECTLY UNVEILED TO GOD . God claims this power as one of his prerogatives ( Isaiah 41:22 ; Isaiah 42:9 ; Isaiah 43:25 , Isaiah 43:26 ; Isaiah 45:20 , Isaiah 45:21 ). And no one can question but that these predictions have been strikingly fulfilled. The people did corrupt themselves and turn aside, and evil did befall them in the latter days ( Deuteronomy 31:29 ). II. THAT ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:24-29

After the installation of Joshua, only one thing remained for Moses to do that all things might be set in order before his departure. This was the finishing of the writing of the Book of the Law, and the committing it finally to the priests, to be by them placed by the ark of the covenant, that it might be kept for all future generations as a witness against the people, whose apostasy and rebellion were foreseen. Whether this section is to be regarded as wholly written by Moses himself, or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:24-30

The Divine testimony deposited in the ark. Moses, being thus commissioned of God to utter the inspired warning, loses no time in summoning the congregation. But while doing so, he gives precise directions to the Kohathites, who had charge of the ark, to deposit his manuscripts within it. Is anything to be learned from this consignment of the sacred books? I. THE SACRED BOOKS ARE NOT COMPLIMENTARY TO HUMAN NATURE . The Pentateuch, in its tremendous charges and... read more

Call heaven and earth to record against them (cf. Deuteronomy 32:1 ). These words ; the words of his charge, and especially the song he had composed, and which it would be the business of these officers to teach to the congregation. read more

Moses completes the writing out of the book of the Law, and directs it to be placed by the ark of the covenant.Deuteronomy 31:24The “book” here spoken of would contain the whole Pentateuch up to this verse, and be “the Book of Moses,” called generally by the Jews “the Law” (compare Matthew 22:40; Galatians 4:21).Deuteronomy 31:25The Levites, which bare the ark - i. e., as in Deuteronomy 31:9, “the priests the sons of Levi.” The non-priestly Levites could not so much as enter the sanctuary or... read more
