Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 1:46
Ver. 46. In Kadesh—according unto the days that ye abode there— This should rather be at or near Kadesh, which gave name to that part of the desart southward of Kadesh. By the phrase according unto the days that ye abode there, some understand to mean, as long as ye abode at mount Sinai, i.e. nearly a whole year. But the most simple explication is, that they stayed here as long after this as they had done before it, which was at least forty days, the time spent by the spies in searching the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 1:46
46. So ye abode at Kadesh many days—That place had been the site of their encampment during the absence of the spies, which lasted forty days, and it is supposed from this verse that they prolonged their stay there after their defeat for a similar period. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 1:6-46
1. God’s guidance from Sinai to Kadesh 1:6-46Moses began his recital of Israel’s history at Horeb (Sinai) because this is where Yahweh adopted the nation by making the Mosaic Covenant with her. The trip from Egypt to Sinai was only preparation for the giving of the covenant. The Mosaic Covenant is central in Deuteronomy."The importance of history has two focal points: (a) there is the covenant tradition of promise, from Abraham to Moses; (b) there is the experience of God in history working out... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 1:19-46
These verses deal with Israel’s failure at Kadesh-Barnea, its causes and its consequences.The Hebrew word translated "take possession" (Deuteronomy 1:21), referring to the Promised Land, occurs over 50 times in Deuteronomy. God’s great desire for His people had been that they possess what He had promised them. Unfortunately the older generation would not because of fearful unbelief.The sending of the spies was the people’s idea (Deuteronomy 1:22; cf. Numbers 13:1-3). Moses agreed to it, as did... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 1:46
(46) So ye abode in Kadesh many days.—Better, and. In Numbers 14:25 the command was, “Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness.” This command was broken by the attack on the Canaanites, made on the morrow after the command. We cannot be certain that the many days spent in Kadesh were spent after the defeat. It may be merely a note of the fact that the time spent in Kadesh was considerable. The mission of the spies alone occupied forty days.According unto the days that ye abode... read more

Imperative and Desirable Changes Deuteronomy 1:6 ' The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb.' And He has been saying it at intervals ever since to communities and families and individuals, and often to their pain and wonder. I. On one side of our human nature we are never satisfied, always craving for enlargement and novelty.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-46
THE DIVINE GOVERNMENTDeuteronomy 1:1-46; Deuteronomy 2:1-37; Deuteronomy 3:1-29AFTER these preliminary discussions we now enter upon the exposition. With the exception of the first two verses of chapter 1, concerning which there is a doubt whether they do not belong to Numbers, these three chapters stand out as the first section of our book. Examination shows that they form a separate and distinct whole, not continued in chapter 4; but there has been a great diversity of opinion as to their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-46
1:1-4:43 HISTORICAL INTRODUCTIONIn style similar to that of ancient treaty documents, Deuteronomy opens by recounting all that Yahweh, Israel’s covenant God, has done for his people. It reminds them of his gracious acts on their behalf and calls from them a fitting response of covenant loyalty. The section summarizes events recorded in greater detail in Numbers 10:11-32:42.From Sinai to Kadesh (1:1-46)It was only eleven days’ journey from Mount Sinai to Kadesh-barnea, and about the same from... read more
