The word of Jehovah mentioned here is not found in this form in the previous history; but as a matter of fact it is contained in the divine instructions that were preparatory to their removal (Numbers 1-4 and Numbers 9:15-10:10), and the rising of the cloud from the tabernacle, which followed immediately afterwards (Numbers 10:11).

Again, what can be more simple and appropriate than that Moses at the close should omit the name and counsel of Jethro, and bring the people into greater prominence than himself in the choice of rulers? It is well to remark here that verse 24 is exactly parallel with verse 13; that it is not Moses in verse 13, but Jehovah who commands to "rise up," etc., in both; and that verses 10-12 are a parenthesis of instructive past history for moral profit like verses 20-23. God's solution is death to the flesh, crucified with Christ. But for the Christian a very essential feature of his standing is that he is delivered from the status of man or Israel, and called to Christ and heavenly things.

"But the Lord heard the words of your complaining, he was angry and said, "You're not to go in". DAY 6 PRAYER POINTS. "The good that I would I do not. Now in Numbers it doesn't tell us that they came to Moses to request these spies, but in Deuteronomy is adding a little bit more detail than he gave in the book of Numbers. 4; Isa. The truth is that the solemn circumstances appear to recall to the mind of Moses the awful lapse of Israel when "they made the calf which Aaron made," and Levi, of odd perfidious to the stranger for a sister's sake, consecrated themselves to Jehovah in the blood of their idolatrous brethren; and Moses hews at Jehovah's command tables of stone like the first, and put them, written as before, in the ark which he had made. I. It is pentecost. 3. 5-8; 1 Cor. And here the people were making this blasphemous accusation; "because God hates us, he brought us out here". . So is it with the Church, when she concentrates her attention too exclusively on her own spiritual improvement, and forgets her mission to the world. It is well for persons that they are not to stay long under the law, and the terrors of it, but are directed to Mount Zion; Hebrews 12:18. It is most instructive to note how exceedingly anxious the early Christians were, that, as soon as a man was converted, he should be "filled with the Holy Ghost." But they saw the giants in the land and the high-walled cities instead of God. cxliii. III. These seven canons were next expanded by R. Ishmael (in the first century) into thirteen, by the analysis of one of them (the 5th) into six, and the addition of this sound exegetical rule, that where two Alfred EdersheimThe Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, The Blessing of Jacob Upon Judah.

Keep me alert to the dangers of falling into a worldly mindset and help me to keep the eyes of my heart on Jesus. "What is the mountainous country of Judea? In such a case there is no room for will, nor sparing of the heart. Now I affirm that on the face of the scriptures no candid person can deny that Exodus is professedly given as the history of the matter; Deuteronomy as a subsequent recital to the people, without the least aim at reiterating the words, which would have been the easiest thing in the world; for even these free thinkers do not pretend that the Deuteronomist did not possess Exodus. 11:47 pm by & filed under can you fly with pericarditis.

Still more take the opposite hypothesis and contend that its legislation is of a later character than that of the preceding book. But Jesus knew God Himself as Moses never did, and by His use of it put honour on the book that makes plain how in a state of ruin the one saving principle is obedience. So this is where the word Deuteronomy comes from "Moses began to declare this law". Moses says, "We turned," not "Ye," merely. [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. May we not forget it ourselves! Above all the prime object is to press obedience on the people of God, but the obedience of a people who had already found what it was to have utterly broken down on their own assumed responsibility. And Jehovah spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words" because they were called to obey "but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. (6) The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb. So long God had borne their manners, and they had borne their own iniquity (Numbers 14:34), and now that a new and more pleasant scene was to be introduced, as a token for good, Moses repeats the law to them. 16); yet it has pleased his majesty to reveal himself to us in his word, so far as our weak capacity can best conceive him. THE CHURCH'S DESTINY - to possess the land. Deuteronomy is an eminently practical book. Now comes another promise: "Behold," says He, "I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite." "Who shall deliver me" and God's answer then comes, "I am delivered by the power the dynamic of the spirit for ye shall receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you"( Acts 1:8 ). Hence, in the first feast, we find they were to eat unleavened bread. What a difference between God's conduct of His people, and man's corruption of it!

Crossed over Jordan finally and began the conquest of the land.So, an interesting little commentary. They could take possession of no lands whatever of their own will. Then in Deuteronomy 2:1-37 the law-giver reminds them how they took their weary journey. This was their boast. Religion, divorced from active employment, must soon lose its robustness, and degenerate into a sickly religiosity. Whereas, even in God's dealings with a nation after the flesh (and such is the truth as to Israel here), there was an admirable check on man and witness of divine government, though the law made nothing perfect. He that believes may calmly confide in God under all circumstances. 45, was edited and abbreviated somewhat. And that which I could not do because of the weakness of my flesh I find that God has done for me and has made provision for me through the power of the Holy Spirit. XXI. in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book." What a guard this was against the misuse of outward forms! Rebuilding the Temple (Ezra 1:1-6:22) Bible Commentary / Produced by TOW Project The Book of Ezra begins with a decree from King Cyrus of Persia, allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple that had been destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BC (Ezra 1:2-4). The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and unto Him the people shall adhere." As the epithet applied to God, "Jehovah our God," presupposes the reception of Israel into covenant with Jehovah, which took place at Sinai, so the words, "ye have dwelt long enough at this mountain," imply that the purpose for which Israel was taken to Horeb had been answered, i.e., that they had been furnished with the laws and ordinances requisite for the fulfilment of the covenant, and could now remove to Canaan to take possession of the promised land. We need not dilate on the beautiful detail but at the same time simple truth of this chapter. What have I to ask beside? Ye have dwelt long enough, c. Exodus 19:1-2 and left it the twentieth of the second month of the second year, so it appears they had continued there nearly a whole year. Then the bitter consequences came. And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace." And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children;" and they were to bind them for a sign; they were to make much of them at all points outside the house and inside, and always. And Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess that thou mayest inherit his land. Covenant favour would surely do as much for Israel as providence had done for Moab and Ammon! A few, however, think that the record in Deuteronomy is the more exact, because when Moses recorded the words in Exodus he had heard the decalogue pronounced; whereas, when he repeated it in Deuteronomy, it was in his hands, inscribed in permanent letters. [They said] Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, and to destroy us ( Deuteronomy 1:27 ). It is after this will come the full time of joy for the earth. So, their fear was inspired because of these cities that were high and walled and because the people, the inhabitants were large, gigantic kinds of people. It is not correct therefore that the sabbath-day is done with: many people in Christendom think so; but I take the liberty of having a stronger view about the sabbath than even those who think themselves strongest. Accordingly this is the solemn and central truth that is brought in here. Thus we come to what might be called the direct charges, having done with all the introductory part. That in Deuteronomy has an amplification corresponding to the style of the book. 8. It was not necessarily, I conceive, because there were no words elsewhere admirably adapted to meet the case. Now this is a foolish charge that they brought against God and it is something that we oftentimes are prone to do. But God wants us to not be governed by the flesh but to be governed by the spirit; and thus, there is this spiritual warfare seeking the dominancy in your life. The prime duty for every creature, whether Jew or Christian, is obedience. Jeremiah, or any other prophet. In examining Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, we have found what may be called an abstract typical system. God would "give his angels charge concerning him;" and what a fine proof it would be that He was the true Messiah, if He threw Himself down from such a height, and withal the angels preserved Him! And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.". It is remarkable that, even though in this connection Moses gives them what are called the ten commandments, there is nevertheless an express and manifest difference in the form as compared with Exodus; so little is Deuteronomy a mere rehearsal of the earlier books. "Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. They were about to enter it by special grace; for it is of importance to bear in mind that it was not by the covenant which was made at Horeb that the children of Israel entered the land at all. 10. He did not just write Deuteronomy for the generation of Israelites about to enter the Promised Land but for later generations as well, including our generation. Our mind will be upon the fleshly things continually; What shall we eat? 11-52. 4. Deuteronomy 31:1 "And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel." "Moses went and spake": Though some interpreters view this verse as the conclusion to the foregoing address in (chapters 29-30), it is better to see these words as an introduction to the words of Moses which follow, based upon the general pattern of Deuteronomy. It is long since the oracle declared that God had given Christ the heathen for his inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession (Psalm 2:8). (I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the Mount.)" Redemption accomplished; Christ the head of the church above; the Holy Ghost sent down here below; and all this borne witness to in the worship and in the ways of Christians and the church. And so they chose one from each tribe to go in and to spy out the land. There is no better evidence and earnest of God's favour than his putting his law in our hearts, Psalms 147:19; Psalms 147:20. 226-228.) there is formality enough, and without having written forms, the heart may frame forms of its own, as we may have observed, if not known it in our own experience, without finding fault with other people, For notoriously, in a legal state of mind people are apt to get through the acknowledgment of sin in what they know has grieved the Lord; but even then there is a want of bowing to His will. pt. "And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no." Pray it during the day too. Our J. This indicates that Moses assumed that those who read Deuteronomy would have prior knowledge of his preceding four books. We are far from being then on the ground of a mere rehearsal of what has been shown in the previous books. "But Sihon," it is said, "king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him: for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day. I pray that I may abide in Christ and He in me and that my life would be a testimony to Your goodness and grace. Jehovah went along with them; and of course the faithful turned back just as much as the unfaithful. They would have further proof of Gods unfailing goodness when they saw the rich land God was giving them. 40, Moses, after reviewing the recent history of the people, and showing how it reveals Jehovah's love for Israel, earnestly urges upon them the duty of keeping His laws, reminding them of His spirituality and absoluteness. Israel must not slight God's claims in common things. Thus then the circumstances of Moses, as well as of the people, were precisely those suited to impress the lesson of obedience. Go in" and the key is of course "to possess the land which the Lord has sworn to your fathers. 10. Yet He joins its observance with prohibitions of evil which man could himself judge. That was a tragedy of failure on their part and it was a failure of faith. ^D John VII. *Dr. Davidson (Introd. That is the point to do God's will. Thus, for the renewal of the covenant described in Deuteronomy, the prologue recalls not only the covenants history, but also the ability of the Lord of the covenant to fulfill his promise. But the motive here is not because God rested upon that day, but because they were to remember that they were servants in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah had brought them out through a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm: "Therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath-day." That it is said of both, " God spake all these words." We now begin to understand a little of the very beginning of God's Book--of the times in which it was written, the materials used by its first author, and the different kinds of writing from which he had to choose; but we must go a step farther. 11). The people of Israel had nearly completed their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. . The acknowledgment in a creed is all well; but when it comes to be the truth for one's own soul, stamping its value on our communion and also on our ways, men at once retreat back into some "dim religious light," where it is all forgotten and lost, merely owned verbally, but without power for the heart and life. Then in Deuteronomy 13:1-18 there is a similar line, all these early injunctions being what we may call religious statutes. They had had many a sight of their own hearts, and they had had ample experience of God's ways in patient and gracious government. Look at the way in which Jehovah treated even these enemies of Israel. . Hence there is a tone of exceeding seriousness, as well as of chastened affection; there is a solemnity founded on the grand dealings of a God whose faithful and holy hand was now ushering them into His land. And when they had situations that were too difficult for them to handle, that Moses would handle those cases. That is, we see in them a number of institutions laid down by Jehovah, the pattern of which was shown in the mount. The fixed use of the name Horeb to designate the mountain group in general, instead of the special name Sinai, which is given to the particular mountain upon which the law was given, is in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book. But also it would appear that the deepest wisdom lay in citing from that book, as well as its most applicable words. To hear someone, you know, making all these accusations against God, horrible things, it's tragic. Now it was God's desire all along to bring them into the land. "Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession." "Jehovah heard the voice of your words and was wroth, and sware saying, Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers.". They have been camped out at Mount Horeb for about a year. In all the three occasions the Lord Jesus draws His answers from the book of Deuteronomy. The first of all rights, and the highest of our duties, is that God should have His rights. 5, 6; 1 Tim. "Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Jehovah God of your fathers giveth you. No matter what it may cost, he assumes that he will at once go through with the will of the Lord. The less that Israel felt they had failed, the more Jesus felt it for them. ii. But Israel is called to action. "We turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as Jehovah spake unto me; and we compassed Mount Seir many days. W. McGarveyThe Four-Fold Gospel, In the Temple at the Feast of Tabernacles. XXI. In the very first place is laid down utter destruction of the high places. And so they departed from Horeb. In the delight of His people He delights. i. God had already multiplied the Israelites, and He was ready to give them the land. "The importance of history has two focal points: (a) there is the covenant tradition of promise, from Abraham to Moses; (b) there is the experience of God in history working out in deed the content of the promise. - J.O. And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God doth give us. 6, 7). I`m blessed physiologically! There, even were it the family gathered in such a sort as this within their gates, the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, all have their part. Satan took advantage of the scripture that said that He should not dash His foot against a stone. We however are not under law but grace. Jehovah your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
