Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:19-25

The method of this song follows the method of the predictions in the foregoing chapter, and therefore, after the revolt of Israel from God, described in the Deut. 32:15, 16, here follow immediately the resolves of divine Justice concerning them; we deceive ourselves if we think that God will be thus mocked by a foolish faithless people, that play fast and loose with him. I. He had delighted in them, but now he would reject them with detestation and disdain, Deut. 32:19. When the Lord saw their... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:26-38

After many terrible threatenings of deserved wrath and vengeance, we have here surprising intimations of mercy, undeserved mercy, which rejoices against judgment, and by which it appears that God has no pleasure in the death of sinners, but would rather they should turn and live. I. In jealousy for his own honour, he will not make a full end of them, Deut. 32:26-28. 1. It cannot be denied but that they deserved to be utterly ruined, and that their remembrance should be made to cease from among... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:39-43

This conclusion of the song speaks three things: I. Glory to God, Deut. 32:39. ?See now upon the whole matter, that I, even I, am he. Learn this from the destruction of idolaters, and the inability of their idols to help them.? The great God here demands the glory, 1. Of a self-existence: I, even I, am he. Thus Moses concludes with that name of God by which he was first made to know him (Exod. 3:14), ?I am that I am. I am he that I have been, that I will be, that I have promised to be, that I... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:44-52

Here is, I. The solemn delivery of this song to the children of Israel, Deut. 32:44, 45. Moses spoke it to as many as could hear him, while Joshua, in another assembly, at the same time, delivered it to as many as his voice would reach. Thus coming to them from the mouth of both their governors, Moses who was laying down the government, and Joshua who was taking it up, they would see they were both in the same mind, and that, though they changed their commander, there was no change in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:21

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God ,.... With a false messiah; for after the death of Jesus, the true Messiah, God as well as man, many false Christs arose, as he predicted, and were received for a time, who were mere men, and deceivers; and their now vainly expected messiah, or whom they look for, according to their own sense of him, is no other than a mere creature, and not God: or with the idol of their own righteousness; which, as an idol is nothing in the world,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:22

For a fire is kindled in mine anger ,.... Here begins the account of temporal and corporeal judgments inflicted on the Jews for their disbelief and rejection of the Messiah, their contempt of his Gospel, and ill treatment of his followers; and this here respects the destruction of the land of Judea in general, and the burning of the city and temple of Jerusalem in particular, as the effect of the wrath and anger of God like fire kindled against them: and shall burn unto the lowest hell ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:23

I will heap mischief upon them ,.... One calamity upon another, which are after particularly mentioned: I will spewed mine arrows upon them ; God is here represented as an enemy to the Jews, as having bent his bow against them like an enemy, Lamentations 2:4 ; and as having a quiver, and that full of arrows, and as determined to draw out and spend everyone of them, in taking vengeance upon them; which arrows are his four sore judgments mentioned Ezekiel 14:21 ; and expressed in ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:24

They shall be burnt with hunger ,.... This is the arrow of famine, Ezekiel 5:16 ; the force of which is such that it makes the skin black as if burnt, Lamentations 5:10 ; Onkelos paraphrases it,"inflated or swelled with famine,'which is a phrase Josephus F2 απο της ενδειας πεφυσημενοι , de Bello Jud. l. 5. c. 23. sect. 4. makes use of in describing the famine at the siege of Jerusalem. Jarchi observes, that one of their writers F3 R. Moses Hadarsan. interprets the words... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:25

The sword without ,.... Either without the city, the sword of the Roman army besieging it, which destroyed all that came out or attempted to go in; or in the streets of the city, the sword of the seditious, which destroyed multitudes among themselves: and terror within ; within the city, on account of the sword of the Romans, and the close siege they made of it; and on account of the famine and pestilence which raged in it, and the cruelty of the seditious persons among themselves; all... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:26

I said ,.... Or could have said, or might have said; that is, determined and resolved, as it was in his power, and in right and justice might have done what follows: I would scatter them into corners ; which does not fitly express the sense of the word used, and besides this was what was done; it is notorious that the Jews were and are scattered into the several corners of the world, and there is no corner where they are not; whereas the phrase is expressive of something that could and... read more
