Deuteronomy 10:19 NIV

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 10:19

Love ye therefore the stranger ,.... Because the Lord loves him; and another reason follows, particularly binding on the Israelites: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt ; and therefore should sympathize with such, and show them compassion, relieve them in distress, and afford them whatever they want, and is in the power of their hands to communicate to them; remembering their own condition in Egypt, and how welcome such a treatment would have been to them then, as well as the kind... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12-22

Knowledge of God the parent of obedient faith. Every honest view we take of God's service brings to light fresh features of attractiveness. It is the only right course. It satisfies conscience, reason, affection, desire. Having right dispositions and purposes in life, all larger knowledge of God makes service pleasant; yea, true service ministers to our best life.

The supreme persuasive. The revelation of God's character in its double aspect of exalted might and of condescending grace. I. GOD EXALTED , YET STOOPING . ( Deuteronomy 10:14-16 .) The wonder of revelation: 1. That One so exalted should stoop at all . The wonder is not abated by reflecting that infinite perfection must include infinite mercy with every other attribute. It fills us with amazement to think of the Possessor of heaven and earth stooping to hold friendly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:18-19

As the impartial and incorruptible Judge, God executes the judgment of the fatherless and widow , vindicates the right of the defenseless ( Psalms 68:6 ; Psalms 146:9 ); and as the God of the whole earth, he loveth the stranger , helpless, and it may be oppressed, and giveth him food and raiment. Following him, Israel, as his people, were to be benevolent to the stranger, inasmuch as they themselves had been strangers in Egypt, and knew by experience what it was to be a stranger (cf.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:19

Love the stranger. The precept has numerous applications— I. TO LITERAL STRANGERS . Persons from foreign countries, or from distant parts of our own country, settling in our midst. Why should these be treated so often as intruders, "incomers," persons to be jealously watched and suspected, instead of being taken by the hand and welcomed? II. TO THE UNFRIENDED AND HELPLESS . To all whose hearts are lonely, and their lives destitute of the cheer given by the love and... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12-22

What God demands of Israel (10:12-11:32)In summary, Moses’ instruction to Israel as a people was that they were to fear, obey, love and serve God, in the assurance that he desired only their good (12-13). He had chosen them in mercy, and he wanted them likewise to show mercy to others. They were to have humble purity of heart and genuine love, both in their relations with him and in their relations with others (14-20). They were not to be arrogant or boastful, but were to remember their humble... read more
