Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-5

Here is, I. A very strange supposition, Deut. 13:1, 2. 1. It is strange that there should arise any among themselves, especially any pretending to vision and prophecy, who should instigate them to go and serve other gods. Was it possible that any who had so much knowledge of the methods of divine revelation as to be able to personate a prophet should yet have so little knowledge of the divine nature and will as to go himself and entice his neighbours after other gods? Could an Israelite ever... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:2

And the sign and wonder come to pass whereof he spake unto thee ,.... The sign he promised to give, or the miracle he proposed to do, to show the reality of his mission, and the truth of his doctrine, which is performed, or seemingly performed, by legerdemain, by magic art, or by the help of the devil; which the Lord sometimes suffered for the trial of the faith and obedience of his people, and for the hardening of others in their unbelief, and which issues in their destruction; see 2... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:3

Thou shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams ,.... Even though he does give the sign, and work the wonder; for it might be reasonably concluded there must be fallacy in him, and that neither he nor his miraculous sign could come from God, who would never send a person to enable him to do signs and wonders, to persuade men to believe and act contrary to a former declaration of his mind and will; to break a plain law of his, as in Deuteronomy 5:7 , this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:4

Ye shall walk after the Lord your God ,.... As he has directed, according to the laws and rules which he has given, both with respect to their moral and civil conduct, and their religious worship of him; and so the Targum of Jonathan,"ye shall walk after the worship of the Lord your God:" and fear him, and keep his commandments ; fear to offend him, and so keep his commandments; or keep his commandments from or through fear; not a servile but a filial one, a reverential affection for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:5

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death ,.... Which death, according to the Targum of Jonathan, was to be killed with the sword: because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God ; or "spoken revolt against the Lord" F12 סרה "apostasiam", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "defectionem", Tigurine version. , high treason against him, delivering out doctrine that tends to cause his subjects to rebel against him, and revolt from him; and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:3

The Lord your God proveth you - God permits such impostors to arise to try the faith of his followers, and to put their religious experience to the test; for he who experimentally knows God cannot be drawn away after idols. He who has no experimental knowledge of God, may believe any thing. Experience of the truths contained in the word of God can alone preserve any man from Deism, or a false religion. They who have not this are a prey to the pretended prophet, and to the dreamer of dreams. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:3

Verse 3 3.For the Lord your God proveth you. (Latin, tentat vos.) Whenever this word, which means to tempt, is applied to God, it is not used in a bad sense, for “to take by guile,” or, “to lay snares of deceit to entrap the unwary,” but only for “to prove or examine.” Now, God proves men’s hearts, not that He may learn what was before unknown, but to lay open what was before concealed. The expression, “to know,” therefore, refers to experimental knowledge only. The explanation of Augustine is... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 13:5

Verse 5 5.And that prophet. Since the ministers of Satan deceive men by their plausible exterior, when they vaunt themselves to be the prophets of God, Moses had already admonished them, that all. teachers were not to be listened to indifferently, but that the true were to be distinguished from the false, and that, after judgment had, those should obtain credit who deserved it. He now subjoins the punishment of such as should creep in under the name of a prophet to draw away the people into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-5

EXPOSITION IDOLATERS AND ENTICERS TO IDOLATRY TO BE PUT TO DEATH . The case supposed here is that of one professing to have supernatural intelligence, who should, by giving a sign or a wonder, endeavor to draw away the people to idolatry. Such a one was to be put to death. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 13:1-6

False prophets. In viewing the bearings of this passage on the credentials of revelation, two points should be observed. 1. The case supposed is one in which the prophet contradicts a revelation already received. 2. The prophet does not dispute the evidence of that earlier revelation. On the contrary, he admits it. He stands within the lines of it. He professes to speak under its authority. Yet he asks the people to violate its fundamental laws. This of itself was sufficient to... read more
