申命記 4:34-37 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:1-40

This most lively and excellent discourse is so entire, and the particulars of it are so often repeated, that we must take it altogether in the exposition of it, and endeavour to digest it into proper heads, for we cannot divide it into paragraphs. I. In general, it is the use and application of the foregoing history; it comes in by way of inference from it: Now therefore harken, O Israel, Deut. 4:1. This use we should make of the review of God's providences concerning us, we should by them be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:34

Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation ,.... As he now had done, namely, the nation of Israel out of the nation of the Egyptians; this he not only had assayed to do, but had actually done it; whereas no such instance like it could be produced, and especially as done in the manner this was: by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war ; the word "temptations" may be considered as a general word, as Aben Ezra thinks, and may signify the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:35

Unto thee it was showed ,.... What the Lord did in Egypt: that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, there is none else besides him ; that he is the one only living and true God, and there is no other: this phrase is often used by the Prophet Isaiah, to express the same great article of faith. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:36

Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee ,.... Thunder is the voice of God, and by which he instructs men in the greatness of his power, Job 26:14 , &c.; unless his voice in giving the law, which was for the instruction of Israel, is meant; for that was heard on earth, on Mount Sinai, to which the following refers: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire ; on Mount Sinai, which burned with it: and thou heardest his words out of the midst of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:37

And because he loved thy fathers ,.... Not their immediate fathers, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness, and entered not into the good land because of their unbelief, but their more remote fathers or ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who had some singular testimonies of the love of God to them, Abraham is called their friend of God, and Isaac was the son of promise in whom the seed was called; and Jacob is particularly said to be loved by God, when Esau was hated: therefore he... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:34

From the midst of another nation - This was a most extraordinary thing, that a whole people, consisting of upwards of 600,000 effective men, besides women and children, should, without striking a blow, be brought out of the midst of a very powerful nation, to the political welfare of which their services were so essential; that they should be brought out in so open and public a manner; that the sea itself should be supernaturally divided to afford this mighty host a passage; and that, in a... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:35

Verse 35 35.Unto thee it was shewed. He first says that God had so proved His divinity by miracles and prodigies, that the Israelites might know certainly that He was God. Whence, too, he concludes that He is the only God; for although God’s holy name be torn in pieces by various opinions, whilst each one manufactures his own gods for himself, yet is it still sure that the power and dominion of God cannot be withdrawn from Him, but reside in a single subject, as the logicians say. Therefore the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:37

Verse 37 37.And because he loved. These words admit of two meanings; for the copulative conjunction stands at the beginning of the verse, — “And because he loved thy fathers,” and also before the next clause, “and he chose their seed;” the reasons here assigned might, therefore, be taken in connection with the previous sentence, viz., that so many miracles were wrought because God had chosen Abraham and his seed. Others understand it differently, that this people was honored with so many... read more
