Deuteronomy 29:7 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-9

Now that Moses had largely repeated the commands which the people were to observe as their part of the covenant, and the promises and threatenings which God would make good (according as they behaved themselves) as part of the covenant, the whole is here summed up in a federal transaction. The covenant formerly made is here renewed, and Moses, who was before, is still, the mediator of it (Deut. 29:1): The Lord commanded Moses to make it. Moses himself, though king in Jeshurun, could not make... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:7

And when ye came unto this place ,.... The borders of Moab, the wilderness before it, to which joined the plains they were now in; see Numbers 21:13 , Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle ; not together, but one after the other, and that very quickly; as soon almost as they had fought with the one, and conquered him, the other came out against them: and we smote them ; killed them and their armies, and the inhabitants of their countries; the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 29:7

Verse 7 7.And when ye came unto this place. This, a third instance (of God’s goodness), because He had smitten the first enemies, who encountered them to impede their passage, and thus had already begun to bring them into a place of rest. For inasmuch as the two tribes and a half had here chosen their home, they might behold as in a mirror that the possession of the promised land awaited them. Hence, then, Moses concludes that they were under obligation to keep the law, and exhorts them to shew... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-9

Time-defying habiliments. After the extensive list of curses to be recited amid the mountains, Moses proceeds to speak of the perfect providences of the pilgrimage as a loud call to obedience out of gratitude. He points out not only the miracles connected with the Exodus, but also the arrangements of, as we should say, the commissariat. They had not to manufacture bread, for the manna fell from heaven; they had not to carry with them wine or strong drink, for the pure water out of the... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:2-9

Seeing, yet not seeing. The Israelites had seen God's mighty works ( Deuteronomy 29:9 ), yet God had not given them a heart to perceive, nor eyes to see ( Deuteronomy 29:4 ). I. NATURAL SIGHT WITHOUT SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT . Moses accuses the people of blindness to the facts of their own history. These facts included: 1. God's mighty works in Egypt; here, as in Deuteronomy 4:34 ; Deuteronomy 7:19 , classified as temptations, signs, and wonders ( Deuteronomy 7:2 ,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

The covenant renewed (29:1-30:20)Israel’s lack of understanding of God and his ways meant that the people needed constant reminders of the covenant’s purpose, meaning and requirements. Moses gave them such a reminder in this his farewell address to the nation, acting as God’s representative in the renewal of the covenant as he had done at the establishment of the covenant at Sinai (Horeb) (29:1-9). The renewed oath of allegiance that the people swore before entering Canaan was binding on future... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 29:7-8

Ver. 7, 8. And when ye came unto this place— They were now in a part of the country which they had conquered, ch. Deuteronomy 4:45-46. The sense appears to be this: "As, therefore, God has thus far performed his covenant with you, given you victory over your enemies, and their land for an inheritance to your tribes; do you take care to perform your part in return, and to keep the words of his covenant—that ye may prosper." REFLECTIONS.—The former covenant was made at Sinai. This is a repetition... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 29:2-20

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
