Deuteronomy 29:6 KJV

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 29:6

Ver. 6. Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine— The meaning is, that they were not nourished by the ordinary method of sustenance, but were constantly supported by a miraculous supply from God, who graciously fed them for a course of years, without any labour of their own, with bread from heaven, and water from the rock. It is added, that ye might know that I am the Lord your God. It is read in the Alexandrian MSS. οτι ουτος κυριος ο θεος υμων, That He is the Lord your God. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 29:2-8

1. Historical review 29:2-8The emphasis in this section is on God’s faithfulness in bringing Israel to its present position (cf. Deuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 4:40). To do this God had provided for the people in the wilderness and had given them victory over some of their enemies (e.g., Sihon and Og). He had also given them some of the land He had promised them. One writer concluded that most of the Israelites could not respond to God because they did not enjoy a faith relationship with Him,... read more

VI. MOSES’ THIRD MAJOR ADDRESS: AN EXHORTATION TO OBEDIENCE 29:2-30:20"The rest of chapter 29 contains many reminiscences of the Near Eastern treaty pattern. It is not presented in a systematic manner but in narrative form. However, elements of the pattern are clearly discernible, making it extremely likely that some kind of covenant ceremony underlies the events here reported." [Note: Thompson, p. 279.] The form of this section argues for it being a covenant renewal. There is a historical... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 29:6

(6) Ye have not eaten bread—but manna (Deuteronomy 8:3).Neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink.—A fact stated here only, and evidently coming from the lips of one who “knew their walking through the wilderness.” “They drank of that spiritual rock that followed them; and that Rock was Christ.” God cared for their physical health and strength by the natural food which He gave them, and made their natural food represent the act of feeding upon Him. It is observable also that God seems to have... read more

The Secret and the Unrevealed Things Deuteronomy 29:29 There are some things respecting which we ought to be agnostics. They are the secret things which belong to God. There are other things concerning which we ought not to be agnostics. They are the revealed things which belong to us and to our children. I.

MOSES’ FAREWELL SPEECHESDeuteronomy 4:1-40, Deuteronomy 27:1-26; Deuteronomy 28:1-68; Deuteronomy 29:1-29; Deuteronomy 30:1-20.WITH the twenty-sixth chapter the entirely homogeneous central portion of the Book of Deuteronomy ends, and it concludes it most worthily. It prescribes two ceremonies which are meant to give solemn expression to the feeling of thankfulness which the love of God, manifested in so many laws and precepts, covering the commonest details of life, should have made the... read more
