In Psalms it says, "And they limited the holy one of Israel by their unbelief" ( Psalms 78:41 ). The first chapter takes cognizance of themselves; the second chapter puts them to the test in the presence of other people. Nobody likes this.

Moses called Mt. Undoubtedly the gatherings in of the corn and the wine (that is, the harvest and the vintage) are the well known types of God's final dealings: the harvest when He separates the wheat from the chaff, or at any rate from that which is not wheat; and the vintage when He executes unsparing judgment upon the vine of the earth upon all religion that is vain and denies heaven.

He is encouraging them to go in and to take the land that God had promised to them. They were only tenants, and had to pay Him rent. So it is that it does not withhold from us the over-heatedness of a Paul, as well as the weakness of a Barnabas; that it tells out the stumbling both of Thomas and of Mark: all is openly communicated for our instruction. Why should they covet? Although no creature can define what God is, because he is incomprehensible (Psal. Not at all, but His own people. Such was the genuine result of sending the spies.

But Israel is called to action. 24; 2 Cor. "What is the mountainous country of Judea? 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. Now a new generation was getting ready to enter the promised land. ), "2 Notwithstanding such express declaration, the following diversities occur. Notice: 1. Blessing for the world is after God has thus cleared the scene: in the prospect of this the Christian is called to rejoice to have the joy not only of liberty now but of the glory that is about to displace the oppression, the sorrow, the wretchedness, the sin, of this poor long-groaning earth, when all shall be put under the only One who is competent to bear the burden and to govern it to the glory of God. There is the peril of religion becoming a species of enjoyment. Verse Deuteronomy 1:6. It is after this will come the full time of joy for the earth. This is what Moses is enforcing by every possible kind of declaration and motive; by his own example and by theirs, as well as the example of their fathers.

In a certain sense it might be a season too good and deep for joy.

The readers of the eastern interpreters will observe, that Kadesh is rendered by all Rekam, or in a sound very near it. He gave them this rehearsal and exhortation purely by divine direction; God appointed him to leave this legacy to the church. Every step in really obeying God puts the man morally to the test, and is more or less attended with severe trial. Listen, God'll take you all the way if you'll just believe Him and trust Him for it. Surely this is very significant, and points out a manifest difference in the character and scope and design of the book of Deuteronomy as compared with Exodus. "Because God hates us he brought us out here to kill us in the wilderness", when in reality God loved them and wanted to give them a land that they might dwell in, that it might be their land. viii. 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. There he kept them about a year, and then told them they had dwelt long enough there, they must go forward. *Nothing can be weaker than the harping on the phrase "the priests the Levites," as in the writings of Davidson and Colenso (following the superficial scepticism of foreign authors, who themselves followed the old Deists of our own country). It is evident therefore, that this book has the most sensible difference from all that preceded it. Still it is too solemn to admit of what is so buoyant, which has its own proper exercise. It is founded on the life of Christ in resurrection, when the Holy Ghost brings us into the power of enjoyment. 2). He quotes accordinglyPsalms 91:1-16; Psalms 91:1-16, intimating to Jesus that, if He were the Son of God, all He had to do was to throw Himself from the pinnacle of the temple; and all must endorse His claims. This supposes a heart that knows God; and certainly so it is with Moses. No compulsion was used to the nations outside. The copulative conjunction is prefixed to the last four commandments in Deuteronomy. By whom? To what were they always inclined? Such is the fertile topic which we find throughout the book. Not only did the Lord say the right thing, but the ground, the line, and the spirit of the book whence He chose His answers were such as took the becoming place under such circumstances before God. At the same time there is the gracious bringing in of God, and of what was suited to the people of God, when ruin was there. It is strange how little we know of the personal history of the greatest of uninspired Jewish writers of old, though he occupied so prominent a position in his time. Hence the story of the Amorites, as we saw, is given. In other words, he is saying that God went before you through the wilderness to search for the best place for you to pitch your tent and then led you by the fire and by the cloud.Oh, if we only realized how all encompassing the work of God is that surrounds our lives. I know God will do it; I do not require to put Him to the proof. He might not grant such a liberal concession to others as he left to himself. Forever and ever. 39; vi. Could they match with Him? What is meant by a moral law is that which one can pronounce on from within even without a prescription from God. 5; John iv. This is now developed. The first of all rights, and the highest of our duties, is that God should have His rights. perhaps the more appropriate translation is the one that points to the exclusive demand of this God to be the only God Israel acknowledges and worships (5:6 See also Exodus 20:2). In Deuteronomy 15:1-23 we find a similar principle as to the year of release. Deuteronomy 7:1-26 one may sum up in a very few words. It might belong to the true God; but "Thou shalt not hearken" if there was the smallest risk of going after other gods. When God commands us to go forward in our Christian course he sets the heavenly Canaan before us for our encouragement.

It is not the Jewish people in the school of Jehovah to manifest what was in their heart, and what He was towards them; but the people strengthened by Jehovah in presence of a power mightier than their own. What shall we drink? "Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name." Hence therefore we see why it is that the first circumstance in their history brought before them was that God told them not to go up to the mountain of the Amorites; but they would go up in self-will and self-confidence, and utterly failed before their enemies. A lion's whelp is Judah; from the prey, my son, thou goest up; he stoopeth down, he coucheth as a lion, and as a full-grown lion, who shall rouse him up?

All is perfect in its own place, and the imputation of self-contradiction as baseless as it is malicious and irreverent. In advancing to take possession of the world for Christ, we have the encouragement of thinking that he knows precisely to what kind of work he is sending us, and yet promises success. But we must not overlook another part of the chapter not the Lord strengthening the people against the mightiest of adversaries, but Israel reminded of their rebellious heart even under such circumstances against Jehovah. It is a call to obedience. The orders which God gave them to decamp, and proceed in their march (Deuteronomy 1:6; Deuteronomy 1:7): You have dwelt long enough in this mount. The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: "You have stayed at this mountain long enough. God always holds to His own principles, and He teaches us to respect them in others.

Deuteronomy 14:1-29 insists on what became the children of Jehovah their God in abstaining from unseemly maimings or disfigurements for the dead, as well as from any food which He, who knew better than they, pronounced abominable. Wherein lay the superior propriety of Deuteronomy to furnish answers at that juncture for Christ, as compared with any other book of scripture? It had more of the family character; but a beautiful feature is connected with it: "And the Levite (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee), and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."

St. Paul gives this interpretation in Romans 4:13. vi. 30.) 9. We have to remember that we get and learn only that we may apply and act. Israel's stay at the mount was good while it lasted, There was a danger that Israel's stay at the mount might last too long, The conquest of which is commanded by God, Early in the year 1857. We're always the one that put the restrictions upon what God can do for us. 6.The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb. Of Kadesh, or Rekam, in the south part, there is no doubt. But their fathers would not obey at that time. )Ver. Times we know when the sense of what we have been, of what we are, and of God's putting all our evil away for ever by the death of His own Son, is too deep for joy if not for tears. "Jehovah God that hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt" He was the only God. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you." Fr. xlv. Beside the tithe of their increase truly rendered from corn, wine, oil, with the firstlings, which, if distant from the place Jehovah would choose for His centre of worship, might be turned into money, and there spent before Him with a joyful household and the Levite not forsaken, there was to be a tithe at the end of three years, mentioned in the 28th and 29th verses: "At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates."

"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.

Here then they are called to action. What nation had such a wonder as God Himself in their midst God Himself near the least of them? What a difference between God's conduct of His people, and man's corruption of it! Accordingly the very large introduction is an address to the people for the purpose of enforcing these claims. For instance, it is not everybody that is called to serve God in a public way; nor is everyone called to take a particular step or course which might involve him in trouble and persecution. "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.". 8). It will be observed that first of all in this chapter, it was not activity but subjection. For we must remember that the sabbath does not mean a seventh day, as some persons (I am sorry to say) equivocate; but the seventh day and no other. 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? 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. They are no longer to go up and take possession of the land, but to turn back and take their journey into the wilderness.

T. i. pp. I`m blessed socially, physically, mentally and psychologically! I. They could take possession of no lands whatever of their own will. "Hear, O Israel."

If therefore God was dishonoured by the high places, they must all come down. It is not to be doubted that the words cited from Deuteronomy were the very best that they were chosen according to divine perfection. In this case let us see the principles of Jehovah's discipline. Crossed over Jordan finally and began the conquest of the land.So, an interesting little commentary. 30.) This then is the leading truth of Deuteronomy. "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. It is very possible that not a single institution during that time may have been strictly enforced or obeyed among the people. God had laid it out and said, "Here it is. When man builds up a society, when he founds a religion or any other scheme, how wholly different his course! ^b 12 And ^a 18 Now ^b on the morrow [on the Monday following the triumphal entry], ^a in the morning ^b when they were come out from Bethany, ^a as he returned to the city [Jerusalem], he hungered. To apply what now occupies us here, give me the chief, fundamental, and most salient points of Christianity, and I will show you that these are the very truths that Christians are most in danger of forgetting. In comparing the allegorical Canons of Philo with those of Jewish traditionalism, we think first of all of the seven exegetical canons which are ascribed to Hillel. We shall find more than that before we have done with the book of Deuteronomy, though we may in this lecture not look fully at a special character of it which is presented in the latter part of the book, where it will be proved that the New Testament also uses it in a very striking manner. They got their eyes upon the obstacles rather of than the power of God to remove the obstacles.And this is the mistake that we so often make as we look at our own lives and we look at the dominion that our flesh has had over us. In the one case there was a remembrance of creation; in this case, of symbolic redemption, the bringing out of Egypt. (Gen. Xlix. Thus we know for certain that the most fundamental requirement of all, the Levitical ritual, was not practised; and if they did not prove faithful in that which was most urgent as well as least difficult in point of means for executing it, we can hardly suppose that they carried out their obedience in what was surrounded with immense if not insuperable obstacles. Thus we come to what might be called the direct charges, having done with all the introductory part. How much did Moses know about the history of his forefathers, Abraham and Jacob, and of all the old nations and kings mentioned in Genesis, before God called him to the great work of writing, (Ad. More than that, it was the cause of Moses not being allowed. He wanted to leave them his blessing nay, he wanted them to have the best blessing that God could give them. [Note: Craigie, p. Consequently there is here a heavy blow struck at the tendency towards idolatry. iv. 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. Thank Him for bringing you through the land of your [proverbial] enemies, for your enemies stood between you and the Promised Landand now you are that much closer to crossing over into the Promised Land. Bearing this in mind, any reader can see that "at that time" in verse 8 really coalesces with "at that time" in verses 1-6, and therefore is in perfect accord withNumbers 8:1-26; Numbers 8:1-26; and yet is it repeated in p. 336. Was anything like this the rule where man even took up the Bible for his own ends? And Jehovah spake unto me, saying, Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. And though he recounts the forty years from Egypt to coming into the land, yet we are told that these things came in the eleventh month in the first day of the fortieth year. 3) and dwelling in inaccessible light (1 Tim.
