Deuteronomy 33:26 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26-29

These are the last words of all that ever Moses, that great writer, that great dictator, either wrote himself or had written from his dictation; they are therefore very remarkable, and no doubt we shall find them very improving. Moses, the man of God (who had as much reason as ever any mere man had to know both), with his last breath magnifies both the God of Israel and the Israel of God. They are both incomparable in his eye; and we are sure that in this his judgment of both his eye did not... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun ,.... Or Israel, as all the three Targums; for this is one of the names of the people of Israel; See Gill on Deuteronomy 32:15 ; and the Lord was their God in a special sense, having chosen, redeemed them, and made a covenant with them; and there is no God like him for the perfections of his nature, his purity and holiness, his goodness, wisdom, power, faithfulness, &c.; and for the wonderful works of nature, providence, and grace, done by... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:26

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun - We have already seen the literal meaning of Jeshurun, Deuteronomy 32:15 ; but besides its literal meaning, it seems to be used as an expression of particular affection: hence Calmet understands it as a diminutive of the word Israel. We know that τεκνοι , sons, in the mouth of St. John, signifies much less than τεκνια , which, properly translated, would be beloved children, a term which at once shows the helplessness of the offspring, and... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:26

Verse 26 26.There is none like unto the God. Moses proceeds from the parts to the whole, and now comes to speak of the whole body, which consisted of the twelve families. All that he says tends to the same end, viz., that the people of Israel were happy as being taken by God under this faithful guardianship: for nothing is more to be desired with regard to our best interests, than that our welfare should be intrusted to the hand of God. But, since this inestimable blessing of being protected by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

EXPOSITION The blessing consists of a series of benedictions on the several tribes ( Deuteronomy 33:6-25 ), preceded by an introduction ( Deuteronomy 33:1-5 ), and followed by a conclusion ( Deuteronomy 33:26-29 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun. The points and accents direct that this should be read, There is none like God , O Jeshurun ; and though all the ancient versions read as does the Authorized Version, the Masoretic punctuation is vindicated here by the following thy help, which shows that Israel is here addressed. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26-29

As Moses commenced by celebrating the glorious majesty of Jehovah when he appeared to establish his covenant with Israel, so he concludes with a reference to God as the eternal Refuge and the saving Help of his people. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26-29

The glory of Israel's God, and the blessedness of God's Israel. Ere Moses quite throws up his task, he gives us his view of Israel as a whole. He has had a word of blessing for tribe by tribe, and now he takes one last look at the whole nation, and viewing it in the light of that eternal world on which he is so soon to enter, his words are richer, riper, sweeter than any we yet have read. The name he gives to the people is very significant—"Jeshurun." The word is found but four times in... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26-29

Israel's happiness. A noble climax! The round of blessing has been completed, and the dying lawgiver revels in the thought of the greatness and felicity thence resulting to favored Israel. One by one the tribes have passed before his eye, and he has sketched in outline, not indeed their actual future, but what might have been, what would have been their future, had they remained faithful to their God. The picture is largely an ideal one, though in the after-history of the tribes, in the... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:26-29

The incomparable Savior. In finishing the blessing of the people, Moses cannot refrain from bursting into a tribute of admiration for him who had brought them thus far. He speaks of God's incomparable excellency, and how happy Israel was in relying upon his power. We shall notice the two thoughts in this order as cause and effect. I. THE INCOMPARABLE EXCELLENCY OF GOD . This is brought out in several particulars. And: 1. God is incomparably excellent in himself . He... read more
