Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-9

The charge here given them is the same as before, to keep and do all God's commandments. Their obedience must be, 1. Careful: Observe to do. 2. Universal: To do all the commandments, Deut. 8:1. And, 3. From a good principle, with a regard to God as the Lord, and their God, and particularly with a holy fear of him (Deut. 8:6), from a reverence of his majesty, a submission to his authority, and a dread of his wrath. To engage them to this obedience, besides the great advantages of it, which he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:3

And he humbled thee ,.... Or afflicted thee with want of bread: and suffered thee to hunger ; that there might be an opportunity of showing his mercy, and exerting his power: and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know ; a sort of food they had never seen before, and when they saw it, knew not what it was, but asked, what is it? Exodus 16:15 . Thus the Lord humbles his people by his Spirit and grace, and brings them to see themselves to be in want,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:4

Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee , &c.; They wanted not clothes all the forty years they were in the wilderness; which some account for by the rising generation being supplied with the clothes of those that died in the wilderness, and with the spoils they took from Amalek, Exodus 17:1 and others, as Aben Ezra observes, remark that they brought much clothes with them out of Egypt, which no doubt they did; see Exodus 12:35 and he adds, as worthy of notice, that the manna they lived... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:5

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart ,.... Frequently think of, and meditate upon, revolve in their thoughts, well weigh in their minds, and take into thorough and deliberate consideration in their hearts; it being a matter of great moment and importance to them for their peace and comfort and the glory of God, namely, what follows: that as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee ; that they stood in the same relation to God as a son to a father, and therefore... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:6

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God ,.... Not only because they are the commands of God, and of a covenant God and Father, which are reasons sufficient for the observance of them; but because the Lord had dealt so bountifully with them, in providing food and raiment for them in the wilderness, which always continued with them; and because, when he afflicted them, it was a fatherly chastisement, with great tenderness and compassion, and for their good; all which... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:3

He - suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee - God never permits any tribulation to befall his followers, which he does not design to turn to their advantage. When he permits us to hunger, it is that his mercy may be the more observable in providing us with the necessaries of life. Privations, in the way of providence, are the forerunners of mercy and goodness abundant. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:4

Thy raiment waxed not old, etc. - The plain meaning of this much-tortured text appears to me to be this: "God so amply provided for them all the necessaries of life, that they never were obliged to wear tattered garments, nor were their feet injured for lack of shoes or sandals." If they had carvers, engravers, silversmiths, and jewelers among them, as plainly appears from the account we have of the tabernacle and its utensils, is it to be wondered at if they also had habit and sandal... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:3

Verse 3 3.And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger. Inasmuch as they were sometimes made to suffer hunger in the wilderness, he proves the advantage of this discipline, because they thus learnt that the human race does not live by bread and wine alone, but by the secret power of God. For though all confess that it is through God’s goodness that the earth is fruitful, still their senses are so tied to the meat and drink, that they rise no higher, and do not acknowledge God as their... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:5

Verse 5 5.Thou shalt also consider in thine heart. He concludes that in the constant tenor of God’s acts, from the time the Israelites were brought out of Egypt, His paternal care for their instruction might be recognised For the word יסר, (258) yasar, is taken by some in too restricted a sense for “to chastise,” whereas it comprehends the whole process of a proper education; as if he had said, that unless they were hereafter submissive, and disposed to be dutiful, they would be something more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-6

EXPOSITION FURTHER EXHORTATION TO OBEDIENCE , ENFORCED BY A REVIEW OF GOD 'S DEALINGS WITH ISRAEL IN THE WILDERNESS . That they might be induced the more faithfully to observe all the commandments which had been enjoined upon them so as to go on and prosper, they are called to remember the experiences of the forty years in the wilderness, when God guided them and disciplined them for their good. He humbled them that he might test the state of their heart... read more
