Deuteronomy 10:11-16 KJV

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12-22

Here is a most pathetic exhortation to obedience, inferred from the premises, and urged with very powerful arguments and a great deal of persuasive rhetoric. Moses brings it in like an orator, with an appeal to his auditors And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee? Deut. 10:12. Ask what he requires; as David (Ps. 116:12), What shall I render? When we have received mercy from God it becomes us to enquire what returns we shall make to him. Consider what he requires, and you... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:11

And the Lord said unto me, arise, take thy journey before the people ,.... Here Moses goes on with his relation of things at Mount Sinai, how that upon his supplication for the people, on account of the destruction they were threatened with for their idolatry, the Lord was graciously pleased not only to hear him and forgive the people, but ordered him to go before them, and lead them on towards the land of Canaan he had promised them, Exodus 32:34 , that they may go in and possess the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee ,.... For all these favours bestowed upon them, the forgiveness of their sins, and a fresh intimation of their possession of the land of Canaan, and the renewal of the promise of it made to their fathers: but to fear the Lord thy God ; to fear him with a filial fear, to fear him and his goodness, and him for his goodness sake, and particularly for his pardoning grace and mercy vouchsafed to them; see Psalm 130:4 , to walk... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:14

Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, are the Lord's thy God ,.... Made and possessed by him; the airy and starry heaven, the third heaven, which is the heaven of heavens, the seat of the divine Majesty, the habitation of angels and glorified saints: the earth also , with all that therein is ; that is his property, and at his disposal, being made by him, and all that is upon it, or contained in it, even whatsoever is on or in the whole terraqueous globe; see Psalm 115:15 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:15

Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them ,.... Though the heavens and the earth, and all the inhabitants of them are the Lord's by creation, yet he had a special regard unto, and a peculiar complacency in, the fathers of the Israelites, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; from whence arose some particular expressions of love to them, signified by various acts of kindness done them, and promises made unto them: and he chose their seed after them, even you above all the people, as it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:16

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart ,.... Content not yourselves with, nor put your confidence in outward circumcision of the flesh, but be concerned for the circumcision of the heart; for removing from that whatever is disagreeable to the Lord, even all carnality, sensuality, hypocrisy, and superfluity of naughtiness, and for having that put there which is well pleasing in his sight; and which though it is the work of God, and he only can do it and has promised it, yet such an... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:12

Now, Israel, what doth the Lord - require of thee - An answer is immediately given. God requires, That ye fear him as Jehovah your God; him who made, preserves, and governs you. That ye walk in all his ways - that, having received his precepts, all of which are good and excellent, ye obey the whole; walking in God's ways, not your own, nor in the ways of the people of the land. That ye love him - have confidence in him as your father and friend, have recourse to him in all your... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:14

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens - All these words in the original are in the plural number: השמים ושמי השמים הן hen hashshamayim , ushemey hashshamayim ; behold the heavens and the heavens of heavens. But what do they mean? To say that the first means the atmosphere, the second the planetary system, and the third the region of the blessed, is saying but very little in the way of explanation. The words were probably intended to point out the immensity of God's creation, in... read more
