申命记 26:19 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Two things Moses here urges to enforce all these precepts:?1. That they were the commands of God, Deut. 26:16. They were not the dictates of his own wisdom, nor were they enacted by any authority of his own, but infinite wisdom framed them, and the power of the King of kings made them binding to them: ?The Lord thy God commands thee, therefore thou art bound in duty and gratitude to obey him, and it is at thy peril if thou disobey. They are his laws, therefore thou shalt do them, for to that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:19

To make thee high above all nations ,.... None of them having the Lord to be their God and King in such sense as Israel, nor they his people in such a peculiar sense as they were; nor having such laws and statutes as he had given to them; these things gave them a superiority over all other nations: which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour ; that is, which nations he made praiseworthy, famous, and honourable, for their extent, wealth, riches, and number; and yet on the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 26:19

Make thee high above all nations - It is written, Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people, Proverbs 14:34 . While Israel regarded God's word and kept his testimonies, they were the greatest and most respectable of all nations; but when they forsook God and his law, they became the most contemptible. O Britain, even more highly favored than ancient Israel! learn wisdom by what they have suffered. It is not thy fleets nor thine armies, howsoever excellent and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:12-19

Looking up for the blessing. The interests of the dependent classes, "the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow," being considered and secured by the tithing of the third year, the Jew was directed then to look up for the Divine blessing on the land. The tithe was first paid, and then the blessing sought. I. SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE SHOULD BE THE PRELIMINARY OF SUPPLICATION FOR BLESSING , AND NOT CONDITIONED UPON IT . There is a temptation to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Moses winds up his address by a solemn admonition to the people to keep and observe the laws and commandments which the Lord by him had laid upon them, reminding them that they had entered into covenant with God, and had thereby pledged themselves to obedience to all that he had enjoined, as he on his part had pledged himself to be their Benefactor, who would fulfill to them all his gracious promises, and would exalt them above all the nations of the earth. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:16-19

The golden chain. The end of the career of Moses was drawing nigh. Nothing could be more natural than that he should gather up all his powers to remind the people of their solemn vows, and to repeat in their hearing the sum and substance of that code which was to regulate their personal life, their religious service, and their judicial procedure. Having done this, he closes with a brief but very earnest appeal to the people's heart and conscience. In it there is much that has, primarily,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Avouching extraordinary. A wonderful sight! Israel and God exchanging pledges, plighting troth, "avouching" fidelity each to the other. The people, by the heed they had given to Moses' exposition of the Law, perhaps by signs made as he proceeded, had avouched their willingness to abide in the covenant. God, in turn, had renewed his promises and pledges towards them. The covenant thus renewed was the same in essentials as that made with believers. I. COVENANT WITH GOD INVOLVES ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:16-19

The spiritual creation. In the creation of the material world, "God spake, and it was done." But in dealing with rebellious men, obedience does not spontaneously follow on command. God has called into existence a substance that cannot arbitrarily be controlled—a human will. Therefore, to gain loyal response from human nature, God makes known himself as infinitely worthy of man's regard, indicates his authority, and sets forth the high advantages of his friendship. The largest obedience is... read more

A brief and earnest exhortation by way of conclusion to the second and longest discourse of the book.Deuteronomy 26:17Thou hast avouched - literally, “made to say:” so also in the next verse. The sense is: “Thou hast given occasion to the Lord to say that He is thy God,” i. e. by promising that He shall be so. Compare Exodus 24:7; Joshua 24:14-25, read more
