deuteronomio-1:22-42-rva

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:19-46

Moses here makes a large rehearsal of the fatal turn which was given to their affairs by their own sins, and God's wrath, when, from the very borders of Canaan, the honour of conquering it, and the pleasure of possessing it, the whole generation was hurried back into the wilderness, and their carcases fell there. It was a memorable story; we read it Num. 13:1-14:45; but divers circumstances are found here which are not related there. I. He reminds them of their march from Horeb to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:22

And ye came near unto me everyone of you ,.... Not every individual of them, but the heads of their tribes, that represented them; this is not to be understood of the present generation personally, but of their fathers, who all died in the wilderness, save a very few of them; but they being the same people and nation, it is so expressed: and said, we will send men before us ; that is, they thought it was proper and prudent so to do, and came to Moses to consult him about it; for we are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:23

And the saying pleased me well ,.... Taking it to be a rational and prudent scheme, not imagining it was the effect of fear and distrust: and I took twelve men of you out of a tribe ; whose names are given in Numbers 13:4 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:24

And they turned and went up into the mountain ,.... As they were ordered and directed by Moses, Numbers 13:17 . and came unto the valley of Eshcol ; so called from the cluster of grapes they cut down there, as they returned: and searched it out ; the whole land, and so were capable of giving a particular account of it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:25

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands ,.... Besides the cluster of grapes, which was carried between two men on a staff; even pomegranates and figs, Numbers 13:23 , and brought it down unto us ; who lay encamped at the bottom of the mountain: and brought us word again ; what sort of a land it was: and said, it is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us ; that is, Caleb and Joshua, two of the spies, said this, as the Targum of Jonathan expresses it, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:26

Notwithstanding, ye would not go up ,.... And possess it, as the Lord had bid them, and Moses encouraged them to do, as well as Joshua and Caleb, who were two of the spies sent into it: but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God ; disregarded the word of the Lord, and disobeyed his command, and thereby bitterly provoked him, which rebellion against him, their King and God, might well do. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:27

And ye murmured in your tents ,.... Not in a private manner; for though the murmurs began there, they having wept all night after the report of the spies; yet it became general and public, and they gathered together in a body, and openly expressed their murmurs against Moses and Aaron, Numbers 14:1 , and said, because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt ; a strange expression indeed! when it was such a plain amazing instance of his love to them, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:28

Whither shall we go up ?.... What way can we go up into the land? where is there any access for us? the mountain we are come to, and directed to go up, is possessed by the Amorites, a strong and mighty people, who keep and guard the passes, that there is no entrance: our brethren have discouraged our hearts ; ten of the spies; for Joshua and Caleb encouraged them with very powerful arguments, which had they listened to, it would have been well for them: saying, the people is greater... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:29

Then I said unto you, dread not, neither be afraid of them. With such like words he had exhorted and encouraged them before the spies were sent, and he still uses the same, or stronger terms, notwithstanding the report that had been made of the gigantic stature and walled cities of the Canaanites. This speech of Moses, which is continued in the two following verses, is not recorded in Numbers 14:5 , it is only there said, that Moses and Aaron fell on their faces, but no account is given of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:30

The Lord your God, which goeth before you ,.... In a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night: he shall fight for you ; wherefore, though their enemies were greater and taller than they, yet their God was higher than the highest; and cities walled up to heaven would signify nothing to him, whose throne is in the heavens: according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes : which is observed to encourage their faith in God; for he that wrought such wonders... read more
