Deuteronomy 29:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:10-29

It appears by the length of the sentences here, and by the copiousness and pungency of the expressions, that Moses, now that he was drawing near to the close of his discourse, was very warm and zealous, and very desirous to impress what he said upon the minds of this unthinking people. To bind them the faster to God and duty, he here, with great solemnity of expression (to make up the want of the external ceremony that was used (Exod. 24:4-8), concludes a bargain (as it were) between them and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:10

Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God ,.... Being gathered together at the door of the tabernacle, at the summons of Moses. Aben Ezra interprets it round about the ark, which was the symbol of the divine Presence: your captains of your tribes ; the heads and rulers of them: your elders and your officers, with all the men of Israel ; not the seventy elders only, but their elders in their several tribes, cities, and families, men of gravity and prudence, as well as of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:10

Ye stand - all of you before the Lord - They were about to enter into a covenant with God; and as a covenant implies two parties contracting, God is represented as being present, and they and all their families, old and young, come before him. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:10

Verse 10 10.Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God. Again does Moses, as God’s appointed (261) representative, sanction the doctrine proclaimed by him by a solemn adjuration. With this design he says that the Israelites stood there not only to hear the voice of God, but to enter into covenant with Him, in order that they might apply themselves seriously, and with becoming reverence, to perform the promise they had given. Nor does he only address their chiefs, but, after having... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-13

The renewal of God's covenant with Israel. Every act of obedience is a step of the soul upward. It leads us into clearer light and into purer air. The man is braced by the exercise. On the other hand, the neglect of a great occasion of blessing is an irreparable loss. I. NOTE GOD 'S GRACIOUS ACTIVITY ON BEHALF OF HIS COVENANT PEOPLE . Ancient Israel was sadly prone to forget what God had done for them. Ingratitude is base. It injures greatly the man who is guilty of... read more

Translate: Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God, your chiefs, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, every man of Israel. The two members are parallel: the heads or chiefs are the elders and officers, the tribes are all Israel The Authorized Version follows the LXX ; but against the idiom of the Hebrew. Ibn Ezra says ראשֵׁיכֵם is instead of ראֹשֵׁי , but this can hardly be. read more

National covenanting. This covenant— I. WAS MADE WITH THE NATION AS SUCH . National covenanting finds modern exemplifications in the Scotch covenants, and in the " Solemn League and Covenant " of 1643-44. Irrespective, however, of the particular stipulations of these covenants, the propriety of such engagements must be pronounced doubtful. The case of Israel can scarcely be pleaded as a precedent. Certainly, were God to reveal himself to any nation now as he did to that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:10-21

Apostasy in heart a root of bitterness. In the midst of this paragraph there is an expression of which the writer to the Hebrews makes use as a warning. It is found in the eighteenth verse: "Lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood." In the Epistle to the Hebrews 12:10 , the sacred writer says, "Looking diligently … lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." The root bearing gall and wormwood which Moses deprecates is,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:10-28

The land of promise becoming accursed. Moses has tried the principle of gratitude with the Israelites, urging obedience from a sense of the great goodness of the Lord. And now he turns to the other principle of fear , which cannot be dispensed with in religion, £ and urges obedience out of respect for the Promised Land, since if they are disobedient it will be turned to a land accursed. The land will in such a ease become a witness to the curse of God, instead of continuing a... read more
