Deuteronomy 11:18 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:18-25

Here, I. Moses repeats the directions he had given for the guidance and assistance of the people in their obedience, and for the keeping up of religion among them (Deut. 11:18-20), which is much to the same purport with what we had before, Deut. 6:6 Let us all be directed by the three rules here given:?1. Let our hearts be filled with the word of God: Lay up these words in your heart and in your soul. The heart must be the treasury or store-house in which the word of God must be laid up, to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:18-20

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart, and in your soul ,.... Treasure up the laws of God delivered to them in their minds, retain them in their memories, and cherish a cordial affection for them; which would be an antidote against apostasy, idolatry, and other sins, Psalm 119:11 . and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes ; of this and the two following verses; see Gill on Deuteronomy 6:7 ; see Gill on Deuteronomy 6:8 ... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 11:18

Verse 18 18.Therefore shall ye lay up these my words. He again demands their serious attention, lest if the doctrine he propounds should be only lightly and carelessly received, it should speedily be let slip; for to lay up in, or on, the heart, is the same as to hide deeply in it; although, where the word “soul” is added, the “heart” refers to the mind, or the intellectual faculties. In fine, he commands them to have the Law not only impressed on the mind, but embraced with sincere affection.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:2-22

Obligations arising from personal experience. "Chastisement" ( Deuteronomy 11:2 ) in its wide sense of discipline. The educative process by which God converted, or aimed at converting, the hordes who left Egypt into a nation of brave, free, God-fearing, self-respecting, obedient men and women. This education blended deliverance with judgment on their enemies; loving-kindness in the bestowal of mercies, with severe chastisements in cases of rebellion; attention to their necessities, with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:10-18

Canaan and Egypt. I. ITS CONTRAST WITH EGYPT . ( Deuteronomy 11:10 , Deuteronomy 11:11 .) Not, like Egypt, a land rainless and artificially watered. It had no Nile. It drank in water from the rains of heaven. It was thus in a peculiar way a land dependent upon God. Egypt's fertility depended on God also, but less directly. Its contrivances for irrigation gave it, or might seem to give it, a semi-independence. Palestine was a land, on the contrary, whose peculiar conditions... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:18-21

God's Word potent to dominate the whole life. The Word of God, like light, is diffusive. It propagates itself. So long as its proper field of activity is unoccupied, it must spread. It radiates its magnetic influence on every side. I. TRUTH , POSSESSING THE HEART , BECOMES THE FOUNT OF ALL RIGHTEOUS PRINCIPLE . As the pulverized soil is the proper home of seed; as the housewife's dough is the proper home of leaven; so the heart of man is the proper abode of truth.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 11:18-25

Family training an dement of success. As in Deuteronomy 6:6-25 , Moses again insists on the words of God being preserved among the people by faithful family instruction. The "home school" is, in fact, the great factor in national success. Education must give due prominence to the family institution, as the providential unit of mankind. And here let us notice— I. GOD 'S WORDS ARE TO BE RECEIVED FIRST OF ALL INTO THE HEART . It is when individuals, and... read more
