"Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons.". "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. They could take possession of no lands whatever of their own will. He was just being led by his own mind. It was only eleven days journey from Mount Sinai to Kadesh-barnea, and about the same from Kadesh to the plains of Moab where the people now were, but they had taken forty years to get there. Begin to move forward in your spiritual development, in your spiritual life. 39; vi. If they were going to possess the land, let them remember it was God's land, not theirs. 5, 11, 14, 18, 21, 26). Notice: 1. But one must only expect this from men whose aim is to reduce the inspired writers to their own level, and who think that piety can co-exist with fraud, yea, with fraudulent falsehood about God. They were about to go into the land to enjoy it; but "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one. 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." Meanwhile they were not to meddle with their kindred, even though jealous and unkind. 4; Isa. 4; iv. This is a benigner method of conquest, and it will prove successful if we advance with faith and courage. Keep me alert to the dangers of falling into a worldly mindset and help me to keep the eyes of my heart on Jesus. To report dead links, typos, or html errors or suggestions about making these resources more useful use the convenient. 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them; 4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 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. i. p. 42, note 4.) Nothing of the sort. 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. 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. Our mind will be upon the fleshly things continually; What shall we eat? And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20. "The good that I would I do not. For their lives are spent in seeking to satisfy their physical appetites and needs. He had compromised Him at a critical occasion, and could not but feel that so it was. Jehovah had blessed Israel, and would have them content and thankful instead of coveting their neighbour's goods. May I quickly confess my faults and choose life (to the saving of the soul) and not death. India, China, Africa, etc., - he knows them all, yet he says, "Go in and possess.". But the second feast brings out joy in a very distinct and delightful manner. If we have seen the object of all this part of Deuteronomy to be the enforcement of obedience, there is nothing which maintains obedience so much as redemption; and if that were the case when it was only an outward deliverance, how much more when it is eternal? Were they to lay hands on the Moabites who were not so near of kin as the Edomites? Sinai "Horeb" almost exclusively in this book, ". The word Deuteronomy means the second law. Was anything like this the rule where man even took up the Bible for his own ends? 29.) Before we pass to the next chapter, it would be well to observe for a moment the second answer of our Lord "Ye shalt not tempt Jehovah your God." But. And mark this; that it is not only joy in the Lord, but calling others to joy (ver. Nothing can be more manifest than the moral groundwork which Moses is preparing for all the rest of the book that follows. Far from being done with, we know from the word of God that He will maintain the sabbatical rest strictly, and enforce it in the days of the kingdom; so that, if a man does not bow to His authority, he will assuredly come under divine judgment: so much does Jehovah make of it in itself, and so much will He make of it for the obedience of others in the day that is coming. The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: "You have stayed at this mountain long enough. He said, "How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance or your burdens or your strife? There must be times of getting, of learning, of consulting for one's own edification, else it will go hard with us in the work and battle of life. will be blessed. This seems the reason why it is brought in here, as the time was long past; whereas all was fresh in Exodus, which is the main display of that truth. Jehovah went along with them; and of course the faithful turned back just as much as the unfaithful. The section summarizes events recorded in greater detail in Numbers 10:11-42. Such is the sceptic's puny effort to lower the character and credit of scripture. For although there were flocks and herds led into the wilderness with the children of Israel at the command of Jehovah, and they may have added more from enemies they conquered, the fact just now referred to meets and removes a host of objections raised about it, and proves that the nature of these ordinances has not been understood. Why did they not? [Note: Peter C. Craigie, The Book of Deuteronomy, p. This was their real object. Then follows the appointment, iv. It is not to be doubted that the words cited from Deuteronomy were the very best that they were chosen according to divine perfection. xlv. The broader character of the book, with its aim of bringing forward the people, and consequently the tribal divisions, rather than particular families, fully accounts for this. And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace." No wonder therefore that Deuteronomy in general has been but little understood, even by the children of God; that the thoughts of expositors are comparatively vague in explaining it; and that men are apt to read it with so little insight into its bearing that the loss might seem comparatively trifling if it were not read at all. It was not then and there that Aaron died, as he alas! Then again we have what is always brought out in the book of Deuteronomy. . The same with Sinai, as Aben Ezra observes; while the Israelites lay encamped near this mountain, the Lord spoke unto them: saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: or near it; for hither they came on the first day of the third month from their departure out of Egypt, and they did not remove from thence until the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, Exodus 19:1 so that they were here a year wanting ten days; in which space of time the law was given them, the tabernacle and all things appertaining to it were made by them, rulers both ecclesiastical and civil were appointed over them, and they were numbered and marshalled in order under four standards, and so ready to march; and all this being done, they must stay no longer, but set forward for the land of Canaan. All this was now closed. 12-18; ^C Luke XIX. We know the profanity of Esau; we know the solemn circumstances of Moab and Ammon from their very origin; but for all that God would not permit His people to indulge in what did not become Himself as represented however feebly in and by Israel. "Jehovah God that hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt" He was the only God. and we have seen the sons of the Anakims there ( Deuteronomy 1:28 ). I know God will do it; I do not require to put Him to the proof. 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." What a guard this was against the misuse of outward forms! The Lord puts no weapon of a kind to injure any into our hands; but bids us leave vengeance with himself. When Peter and John came to the Samaritans, and found that they were John MacNeilThe Spirit-Filled Life, Afraid of Giants'And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain; 18. Why should they not rejoice? Jehovah gave them no such license as the right to slay, burn, or plunder others as they liked. We were bondmen, and are not. We are also shown the astonishing patience of Jehovah, and with that which might be difficult to understand if we did not look to the moral scope of the book the destruction of the first tables, the writing out of fresh ones, and the place in which they were to be kept. 1. Israel was called in everything to confide in Jehovah and obey. vol. I can't stand that. In fact He acted as the landlord. 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. We luxuriate in retired communion, in restful fellowship with God, in converse with fellow-believers, in Church ordinances; and we think how sweet it would be if this could always last. It is ever the same duty of submission to God's will. We see from this that it is mere ignorance to suppose that there is not a divine system in the book; and this is more remarkable, I think, in Deuteronomy, if possible, than in the preceding books. 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the . We all know that it is natural to wretched, wilful man. 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. *See Dr. Lightfoot's Works, ii. This was a lesson for Israel of prime moment. 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? Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed. Now a new generation was getting ready to enter the promised land. 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." This indicates that Moses assumed that those who read Deuteronomy would have prior knowledge of his preceding four books. Because they had not a particle of confidence in God. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. "Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left. Accordingly this is the solemn and central truth that is brought in here. It consists of moral addresses, and appeals in a tone quite unexampled in all the five books of Moses. It is not the death of Christ with all its solemn, however blessed, issues. Accordingly the very large introduction is an address to the people for the purpose of enforcing these claims. THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY. a. 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. Now wherein lay this fitness not only in the words that were cited, but in the particular book from which they were extracted? 3) and dwelling in inaccessible light (1 Tim. saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: or near it; for hither they came on the first day of the third month from their departure out of Egypt, and they did not remove from thence until the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, Exodus 19:1 so that they were here a year wanting ten days; in which space of time the law was given them, the tabernacle and all things appertaining to it were made by them, rulers both ecclesiastical and civil were appointed over them, and they were numbered and marshalled in order under four standards, and so ready to march; and all this being done, they must stay no longer, but set forward for the land of Canaan. 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. And Israel bow to the will of their God. Because he hath wholly followed the Lord. 5; John iv. Every part of my life is BLESSED! The tragedy of unbelief, verse thirty-two.Now, I love this. Now, the wilderness experiences where I am trying to bring my flesh into conformity to the will of God, and I'm promising God that I'm gonna do better, that I'm not gonna fail next time. The true Israelite does not require to put God to the test. 3) and dwelling in inaccessible light (1 Tim. 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). 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. Hence, in the first feast, we find they were to eat unleavened bread. 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? Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to give your father ( Deuteronomy 1:6-8 ). Yet He joins its observance with prohibitions of evil which man could himself judge. "( Romans 6:6 ) Paul the apostle said, "I am crucified with Christ" ( Galatians 2:20 ). And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day." It extends to Deuteronomy 4:40; and is divided from the second discourse by the Deu 1:4 :41-49. The offspring of your herds and flocks. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land; no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession." Now it was God's desire all along to bring them into the land. The point urged here is, that when they came and stood, as far as any then could stand, in the presence of God, they had seen no similitude of Jehovah. Praying through Deuteronomy 6:6. Moses began his recollections of the journey by reminding the people that their coming possession of Canaan was solely because of Gods grace, not because of any virtue in them (1:1-8).Only through Gods mercy had they grown into a strong and contented people who enjoyed the blessing (rare among ancient races) of just, impartial and humanitarian government (9-18). 4; iv. It probably covers the last month and a half of Moses' life. But nobody knows about the sabbath-day unless Jehovah command it. In Deuteronomy 9:1-29 another topic is prominent. But it was not a question here of truth or its forms, but of obedience: this is ever in view. But what wonderful grace! What is it that characterises Christianity? Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word of God and all the wisdom and instructions it contains. This was their point of imitating God. viii. In Deuteronomy 5:1-33 we come to still closer quarters. There was a danger that Israel's stay at the mount might last too long. The heritage of the descendants of Jacob shall be restored unto thee!" After the praise and worship session, go with your prophetic sword into battle using these 13 prayer points for DAY 6. They have been camped out at Mount Horeb for about a year. But the believer sees wisdom and grace in comparing the first historical statement with the solemn use the legislator makes to the generation about to enter the land, and the added information is of grave import. The evil that I would not, that I do"( Romans 7:19 ). [Breakfast with the Jews came late in the forenoon, and these closing days of our Lord's ministry were full of activity that did not have time to tarry at Bethany for it. Mark the very fact here set before us: not a single man of the congregation of Jehovah that left Egypt passed into the holy land save two individuals, who identified themselves by faith from the very first with the glory of Jehovah. Know ye not that the old man was crucified with Christ? All this then precedes another lesson. His brother was the political head of that community in Alexandria, and he himself on one occasion represented his co-religionists, Although no creature can define what God is, because he is incomprehensible (Psal. God had cared for them throughout the long and weary journey from Mount Sinai (Horeb), carrying them as a father carries his young son who has become too tired to walk. They would have further proof of Gods unfailing goodness when they saw the rich land God was giving them. Every motive of gratitude and compassion should urge us to it. "Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. For although he may allow himself a dispensation to take from others, let a man steal from him, and it will soon be seen whether he does not condemn the wrong. "What is the mountainous country of Judea? There is then (verses 12-18) pointed out the way to deal with a city guilty of idolatry. But God will lift you to the highest level you will let him. How good is our God, and what a witness of His grace! They hesitated and by staying outside of the land, they were not obeying God's instructions. And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them ( Deuteronomy 1:2-3 ); So, there's an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadeshbarnea to the beginning of entering into the Promised Land, but they have been journeying for forty years and eleven months on an eleven-day journey. You may not possess all of your possessions and yet, if you spend your life roaming in the wilderness it's not God's will, it's not his desire, but he will be with you there and help you there. This is a universal and abiding principle. It is the people repudiating the ways of the heathen, and consecrated to God. ( Romans 7:24 ). Philo of Alexandria and Rabbinic Theology. So, after it has been brought before us from the first, we find their failure to trust Jehovah leads to a fresh command. Deuteronomy 1:6-9. . [173] Philo was born in Alexandria, about the year 20 before Christ. Then the bitter consequences came. XXI. And yet the inability to bring the flesh into conformity with the spirit of God. The law-giver sets before them the manner in which the law dealt with themselves, in one feature particularly, which he presses on them. Yet for all that, even though it was but the governmental display of God with a nation (not fully as with Christ, but provisionally by Moses), there is not a fragment of it that does not, when candidly examined, prove the goodness and the holiness of God, as much as it illustrates also on the other side the rebelliousness of man, chosen man, even the people of God. And you know God told me to go here and it was just really horrible and all," and all this stuff. There are deeper feelings in the heart than joy. A fair question arises for those who honour the divine word, why events so long severed in time are thus introduced seemingly together. viii. Still more since Christ: misused ordinances are practically the same thing in principle, asGalatians 4:1-31; Galatians 4:1-31 teaches. "So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed from among the people, that Jehovah spake unto me, saying, Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them." It seems probable to us that the record in Exodus is the more exact. And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.'' "Oh, this might be dangerous, and that were presumptuous;" and so men talk on that is, the moment it becomes a real living truth, and not words on paper. To hear someone, you know, making all these accusations against God, horrible things, it's tragic. They knew no reason why weary wastes of disappointing years should stretch between Bethel and Peniel, between the Cross and Pentecost. 8. These were solemn words to bring before the minds of Israel just about to enter into the good land. The references to "the river Euphrates" (Deuteronomy 1:7) and "the stars of heaven for multitude" (Deuteronomy 1:10) hark back to Gods promises to Abraham. 12-18; ^C Luke XIX. God always holds to His own principles, and He teaches us to respect them in others. 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. ii. 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. "4. I must have to come to the place where I despair of freeing myself or despair of my own righteousness or despair of ever being righteous in the eyes of God by my own works and my own efforts. The discourse itself. Tempting God was to doubt Him, as many, all of us, are apt to do. Deuteronomy 4:1. The less that Israel felt they had failed, the more Jesus felt it for them. Or, if the cognate clause used in both books, 'that God wrote them on two tables of stone,' be not literally pressed in one case, there is no necessity for doing so in the other. In this case too we have the fact that there had been a great deal of fighting in previous days. His brother was the political head of that community in Alexandria, and he himself on one occasion represented his co-religionists, Alfred EdersheimThe Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, A Plain Description of the Essence and Attributes of God, Out of the Holy Scripture, So Far as Every Christian must Competently Know, and Necessarily Believe, that Will be Saves. They were "a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but Jehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead." In the tenth day of the first month of the forty-first year, they crossed Jordan into the Promised Land after mourning the death of Moses for thirty days. Nevertheless the circumstance that he too had failed to sanctify Jehovah their God in his heart as he ought that even he had misrepresented Him when it was above all due to God that His grace should be clearly seen, all this added gravity to the appeals and style of the departing man of God. "Ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire in the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. In Deuteronomy 16:1-17 (where I now stop) we have the winding up of all this part the termination of the statutes which had to do with religion. Father in Heaven, I ask for your blessings . I'm tempted to smack you in the mouth talking about God that way. It is a call to obedience. The reason is obvious. It is not merely "thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of free-will offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee," but "seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose: because Jehovah thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the increase of thine hands; therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.".
