申命記 7:16-18 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-26

Here, I. The caution against idolatry is repeated, and against communion with idolaters: ?Thou shalt consume the people, and not serve their gods.? Deut. 7:16. We are in danger of having fellowship with the works of darkness if we take pleasure in fellowship with those that do those works. Here is also a repetition of the charge to destroy the images, Deut. 7:25, 26. The idols which the heathen had worshipped were an abomination to God, and therefore must be so to them: all that truly love God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:16

And thou shall consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee ,.... All the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, which the Lord should deliver into their hands; them they were not to spare, but utterly destroy men, women, and children: thine eye shall have no pity upon them ; See Gill on Deuteronomy 7:2 , neither shall thou serve their gods, for that will be a snare unto thee ; which will bring into utter ruin and destruction; see Exodus 23:33 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:17

If thou shall say in thine heart ,.... Should have secret thoughts arise in the heart, misgivings of heart, fears and doubts there, which, though not outwardly expressed, might be inwardly retained: these nations are more than I ; seven to one, and perhaps anyone of them as powerful as Israel: how can I dispossess them ? of the land they inherit, and take possession of it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:18

Thou shalt not be afraid of them ,.... Neither on account of their number, nor their strength: but shall well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt ; a people more numerous and potent than the Canaanites, among whom the Lord wrought such wonderful things by his power, which obliged them to let Israel go; and his power was now the same, he could do as great things to the Canaanites as he had to the Egyptians; and as he had delivered them out of the hands of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:16

Verse 16 16.And thou shalt consume all the people. It is plain from the second part of the verse wherefore He commands the people of Canaan to be destroyed, when He forbids their gods to be worshipped. This precept, therefore, corresponds with the others, where He dooms in like manner these nations to utter destruction. I now pass over what I have explained elsewhere, i.e., that the vengeance which God exercised against these obstinate and ten-times lost people cannot be ascribed to cruelty.... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 7:17

Verse 17 17If thou shalt say in thine heart. Since it was a matter of great difficulty to destroy such a multitude of men, and despair itself would drive them to madness, so that it would be frivolous for the Israelites to cut off all hope of mercy, God anticipates their fear, and exhorts them to the strenuous execution of His sentence. From whence we gather some useful instruction; whenever God commands anything which exceeds our power, we must still obey and boldly break through whatever... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:9-16

The Divine veracity. Moses here speaks of the Divine faithfulness to those that love him, and also to those that hate him. Those who love him will have his mercy unto a thousand generations; those who hate him will have their hatred returned. He will repay such to their face. Let us look at the Divine veracity in the two aspects of blessing and of judgment. I. GOD 'S GRATITUDE FOR MAN 'S LOVE . God has a love of sovereignty, as we have just seen, which has no reason but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-16

The rewards of obedience. If Israel fulfilled its vocation, in keeping itself separate from the idolatries of the heathen, and in destroying them from the land; if further, in possession of the land, it adhered to God's commands, God would make his blessing rest on it in every sphere and department of existence. I. TEMPORAL PROSPERITY IS A LEGITIMATE OBJECT OF DESIRE . Otherwise it could not be named as part of the blessing, nor could the hope of it be held out as an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:12-26

Reward in proportion to arduous service. The enterprise upon which the Jews were entering was one of prodigious difficulty. They had to contend at the same time with stalwart human foes, and with the internal foes of evil lust. Here was a splendid field for eternal renown. In proportion to the difficulty of the enterprise would be the glory of success. I. OBSERVE THE DISCOURAGING ASPECTS OF THE UNDERTAKING . 1. Their adversaries were more numerous than they . The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 7:16

And thou shalt consume ; literally, eat , devour ( וְאָכַלְתָּ ). Unless they consumed them as one consumes food, they would be a snare to them, by tempting them to join in their idolatry. read more
