Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-8

We have here, I. The date of this sermon which Moses preached to the people of Israel. A great auditory, no question, he had, as many as could crowd within hearing, and particularly all the elders and officers, the representatives of the people; and, probably, it was on the sabbath day that he delivered this to them. 1. The place were they were now encamped was in the plain, in the land of Moab (Deut. 1:1, 5), where they were just ready to enter Canaan, and engage in a war with the Canaanites.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1

These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel ,.... Not what are related in the latter part of the preceding book, but what follow in this; and which were spoken by him, not to the whole body of the people gathered together to hear him, which they could not do without a miracle; but to the heads of the people, the representatives of them, who were convened to hear what he had to say, in order to communicate it to the people; unless we can suppose that Moses at different times to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:2

There are eleven days' journey from Horeb, by the way of Mount Seir, to Kadeshbarnea. Not that the Israelites came thither in eleven days from Horeb, for they stayed by the way at Kibrothhattaavah, a whole month at least, and seven days at Hazeroth; but the sense is, that this was the computed distance between the two places; it was what was reckoned a man might walk in eleven days; and if we reckon a day's journey twenty miles, of which See Gill on Jonah 3:3 , the distance must be two... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:3

And it came to pass in the fortieth year ,.... That is, of the coming of the children of Israel out of Egypt: in the eleventh month ; the month Shebet, as the Targum of Jonathan, which answers to part of January and part of February: in the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel according to all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them ; repeated to them the several commandments, which the Lord had delivered to him at different times. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:4

After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon ,.... Either Moses, speaking of himself in the third person, or rather the Lord, to whom Moses ascribes the victory; of this king, and his palace, and the slaughter of him, see Numbers 21:24 , and Og the king of Bashan , which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei; or near Edrei; for Edrei was not the name of a country, in which Ashtaroth was, but of a city at some distance from it, about six miles, as Jerom says F7 De... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:5

On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab ,.... On that side of Jordan in which the land of Moab was, and which with respect to the land of Canaan was beyond Jordan; this the Vulgate Latin version joins to the preceding verse: began Moses to declare this law : to explain it, make it clear and manifest; namely, the whole system and body of laws, which had been before given him, which he "willed" F11 הואיל "voluit", Montanus; "placuit", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "statuit",... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:1

These be the words which Moses spake - The five first verses of this chapter contain the introduction to the rest of the book: they do not appear to be the work of Moses, but were added probably either by Joshua or Ezra. On this side Jordan - בעבר beeber , at the passage of Jordan, i. e., near or opposite to the place where the Israelites passed over after the death of Moses. Though עבר eber is used to signify both on this side and on the other side, and the connection in which... read more
