Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:1-3

Observe here, 1. That Moses taught the people all that, and that only, which God commanded him to teach them, Deut. 6:1. Thus Christ's ministers are to teach his churches all that he has commanded, and neither more nor less, Matt. 28:20. 2. That the end of their being taught was that they might do as they were taught (Deut. 6:1), might keep God's statutes (Deut. 6:2), and observe to do them, Deut. 6:3. Good instructions from parents and ministers will but aggravate our condemnation if we do... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:4-16

Here is, I. A brief summary of religion, containing the first principles of faith and obedience, Deut. 6:4, 5. These two verses the Jews reckon one of the choicest portions of scripture: they write it in their phylacteries, and think themselves not only obliged to say it at least twice every day, but very happy in being so obliged, having this saying among them, Blessed are we, who every morning and evening say, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. But more blessed are we if we duly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:3

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it ,.... Or them, the commandments given them: that it may be well with thee ; in body and estate: and that ye may increase mightily ; not only in wealth and riches, but chiefly in numbers: as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee ; a promise of increase of numbers was frequently made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; as that their seed should be as the stars of heaven, and as the dust of the earth, and the sand on the sea shore,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel ,.... These are the words of Moses, stirring up the people to an attention to what he was about to say of this great and momentous article, the unity of God, to prevent their going into polytheism and idolatry. From one of the words here used, the Jews call this section Kiriathshema, which they oblige themselves to read twice a day, morning and evening F14 Mist. Beracot, c. 1. sect. 1, 2. ; the last letter of the first word in this verse, "Shema", meaning "hear", and the... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:3

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it - Literally, Ye shall hear, O Israel, and thou shalt keep to do them. God is to be heard; no obligation without law to found it on, and no law in religion but from God. The commandment must be understood in order to be obeyed. It must be observed - attentively considered, in order to be understood. And, It must be performed, that the end for which it was given may be accomplished, viz., that God may be glorified, and that it may be well... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel - אחד יהוה אלהינו יהוה ישראל שמע shema Yisrael , Yehovah Eloheinu , Yehovah achad . These words may be variously rendered into English; but almost all possible verbal varieties in the translation (and there can be none other) amount to the same sense: "Israel, hear! Jehovah, our God, is one Jehovah;" or, "Jehovah is our God, Jehovah is one;" or, "Jehovah is our God, Jehovah alone;" or, "Jehovah is our God, Jehovah who is one;" or, "Jehovah, who is our God, is the one... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:4

Verse 4 4.Hear, O Israel. When Moses proclaims that God is One, the statement is not confined to His sole essence, which is incomprehensible, but must be also understood of His power and glory, which had been manifested to the people; as though he had said, that they would be guilty of rebellion unless they abode in the One God, who had laid them under such obligations to Himself. Therefore he not only calls him Jehovah, but at the same time infers that He is the God of that people whom he... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 6:4

These words form the beginning of what is termed the “Shema” (“Hear”) in the Jewish Services, and belong to the daily morning and evening office. They may be called “the creed of the Jews.”This weighty text contains far more than a mere declaration of the unity of God as against polytheism; or of the sole authority of the revelation that He had made to Israel as against other pretended manifestations of His will and attributes. It asserts that the Lord God of Israel is absolutely God, and none... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 6:4

Deuteronomy 6:4. Hear, O Israel! The passage contained in this and the following verse, the Jews reckoned one of their choicest portions of Scripture. They wrote it on their phylacteries, (or slips of parchment bound on their foreheads, their necks, their breasts, or wrists,) and thought themselves not only obliged to repeat it twice every day, but very happy in being so obliged; having this saying among them, “Blessed are we who, every morning and evening, say, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our... read more
