Deuteronomy 10:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

There were four things in and by which God showed himself reconciled to Israel and made them truly great and happy, and in which God's goodness took occasion from their badness to make him the more illustrious:? I. He gave them his law, gave it to them in writing, as a standing pledge of his favour. Though the tables that were first written were broken, because Israel had broken the commandments, and God might justly break the covenant, yet when his anger was turned away the tables were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:10

And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights ,.... Which is to be connected with Deuteronomy 10:6 and relates what passed before he came down from the mount with the two tables; as that he stayed there as long as he did when he received the first tables, and fasted also as long as he did then; see Exodus 34:28 . and the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also ; to his prayer on the behalf of the people: and the Lord would not destroy thee ;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

The results of the intercessory prayer of Moses. In these verses we have a very brief statement of the results of the pleading of Moses for Israel with God, which can only be duly appreciated when set side by side with the fuller account in Exodus 33:1-23 ; Exodus 34:1-35 . It is clear, even from the few words here given us, that the Lord's wrath was turned away, that the covenant and the covenant promise were again renewed. But we must at least indicate the points of detail ere we can... read more

Tokens of mercy. Various pledges of his forgiveness were given by God to the people. I. THE RENEWAL OF THE TABLES . ( Deuteronomy 10:1-5 .) 1. Reconciliation to God is only possible through return to obedience . God cannot but require that we accept his commands, and make them the rule of our life ( Matthew 5:19 , Matthew 5:20 ; Romans 6:13-23 ). Such return to obedience is involved in gospel faith ( Romans 7:4 ). "Repent ye" ( Mark 1:15 ). 2. The Law... read more

Progress. Progress is the law of human life. Perfection is reached only by steady advancement. I. PROGRESS IS MARKED BY DISTINCT STAGES . There are times for action, and times for rest. Neither body nor mind can, in our present state, bear the strain of continuous exertion. There is an advantage in an occasional halt, by which we can review the past, measure our progress, examine our resources, and reconnoiter the future. The soul is many-sided, and advance in knowledge,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:10-11

Moses here sums up the general result of his intercession. As at the first, he was on the mount the second time forty days and forty nights; and in response to his pleading, the Lord willed not to destroy Israel, and commanded him to resume his place as leader of the people, and conduct them to the Promised Land "This commandment and promise was a testimony that God now was reconciled unto them by the intercession of Moses" (Ainsworth). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:10-22

New obedience. Moses, having detailed the success of his intercession in Horeb, and that the threatened doom was averted and the pilgrimage proceeded with, goes on in this passage to analyze the obedience to be rendered. It is all summed up in fearing the Lord, walking in his ways, loving him, serving him with heart and soul, and keeping his commandments. Let us try to grasp the description of new obedience here presented. I. ISRAEL WAS TO BE A GOD - FEARING PEOPLE . A... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

These verses are closely connected with the preceding chapter, and state very briefly the results of the intercession of Moses recorded in Deuteronomy 9:25-29. The people are reminded that all their blessings and privileges, forfeited by apostasy as soon as bestowed, were only now their own by a new and most unmerited act of grace on the part of God, won from Him by the self-sacrificing mediation of Moses himself Deuteronomy 10:10.Deuteronomy 10:1-5. The order for making the ark and tabernacle... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:1-11

Warning against stubbornness (9:1-10:11)Moses warned the Israelites not to boast about their coming victories. The conquest of Canaan was by God’s power, not theirs. It was because of the wickedness of the Canaanites, not because of any goodness in the Israelites (9:1-5).Israel, in fact, was a stubborn people, who deserved none of God’s good gifts. Moses reminded them of their rebellion at Sinai, how they promised to obey God’s law, but broke it before it was even written down (6-21; see notes... read more
