Deuteronomy 4:10, Deuteronomy 4:9 KJV

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:10

Specially the day . The word "specially," introduced by the translators into the Authorized Version, is a needless interpolation. With this verse begins a new sentence, which is continued in Deuteronomy 4:11 on to the end of Deuteronomy 4:13 . Render, On the day [i.e. at the time, the יום , is an adverbial accusative] when ye stood before Jehovah your God in Horeb … when ye came near and stood ,… then Jehovah spake to you , etc. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:10-14

The revelation at Horeb. A revelation— I. OF THE SPIRITUALITY OF GOD 'S NATURE . "Ye saw no similitude" ( Deuteronomy 4:12 ). A wonderful truth to be impressed on the minds of a people fresh from contact with the debasing idolatries of Egypt. A truth: 1. Difficult to grasp. 2. Elevating in its influence. 3. The apprehension of which is necessary for spiritual worship ( John 4:24 ). II. OF THE HOLINESS OF GOD 'S CHARACTER . The lightnings that... read more

A full stop should end Deuteronomy 4:9; and Deuteronomy 4:10 begin, At the time that thou stoodest, etc. Deuteronomy 4:11 then ye came near, etc. Moses, exhorting to heedful observance of the Law, strives to renew the impressions of that tremendous scene which attended its promulgation at Sinai. read more

Deuteronomy 4:9-10. Only take heed Their only danger was, lest they should grow careless and unmindful of all the wonderful things that God had done for them; for which reason he would have every Israelite to make these weighty concerns the subject of his most frequent study and intense meditation. Especially the day When God delivered the law from mount Sinai to them, with such awful appearances of divine majesty. Thou stoodest S ome of them stood there in their own persons, though then... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:1-43

Warning to be obedient (4:1-43)The reason Moses outlined Israel’s history was to show on the one hand that God’s promises did not fail, and on the other that his judgment on disobedience was certain. In view of this, the people were to keep all God’s laws and commandments without altering them to suit themselves. If they modelled their national life in Canaan on these laws, they would benefit themselves and be an example to others (4:1-8).In order that Israel might not forget his laws, God had... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 4:10-12

Ver. 10, 11, 12. Thou stoodest before the Lord thy God— See on ch. Deuteronomy 1:9. Unto the midst of heaven, ver. 11 is, in the Heb. in the heart of heaven, i.e. in the air. So Tyre is said to be in the heart of the sea, Eze 28:2 and Jesus Christ in the heart of the earth, Matthew 12:40. Two things are expressed in the 12th verse; the first, that God, who could have manifested himself under a human form, or any other sensible representation, in giving the law, chose not to do so. The second,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 4:10

10. the day that thou stoodest before the Lord . . . in Horeb—The delivery of the law from Sinai was an era never to be forgotten in the history of Israel. Some of those whom Moses was addressing had been present, though very young; while the rest were federally represented by their parents, who in their name and for their interest entered into the national covenant. read more
