Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:7-10

Yahweh Purposes To Make Wonderful Provision For Them (Deuteronomy 8:7-10 ). In these verses we have a glowing picture of all the good things which Yahweh has ahead for His covenant people. Analysis in the words of Moses: a For Yahweh your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of wadis of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills (Deuteronomy 8:7). b A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey; a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:11-20

The Warning Lest When They are Blessed They Forget Who Has Blessed Them (Deuteronomy 8:11-20 ). Knowing the hearts of the people Moses now saw fit to gave them a severe warning. He recognised that there was a danger that when they became prosperous they would forget Who had given them all these blessings, and would begin rather to commend themselves. He therefore seeks to prepare for such an eventuality. Analysis in the words of Moses. a Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 8:9

Where are mines of iron in a manner as plentiful as stones, and upon which travellers must tread, as in other parts they do upon stones; and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass, to wit, in great plenty. These are mentioned, because they had none such in Egypt whence they came. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 8:10

i.e. Solemnly praise him for thy food; which is a debt both of gratitude and justice, because it is from his providence and favour that thou receivest both thy food and refreshment and strength by it. The more unworthy and absurd is that too common profaneness of them, who, professing to believe a God and his providence, from whom all their comforts come, grudge to own him at their meals, either by desiring his blessing before them, or by offering due praise to God after them. read more

Thine heart be lifted up; as if thou didst receive and enjoy these things either by thy own wisdom, and valour, and industry, Deuteronomy 8:17, or for thy own merit, Deuteronomy 9:4. See Hosea 13:6; 1 Corinthians 4:7. read more

Remember that God’s designs may be realised and right effects produced (Deuteronomy 13:3; 2 Chronicles 32:31). Humble, i.e., to bring them... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:11-18

Deuteronomy 8:11-18 In the text we have Moses' answer to the first great question in politics: What makes a nation prosperous? To that wise men have always answered, as Moses answered, "Good government is government according to the laws of God." That alone makes a nation prosperous. But the multitude, who are not wise men, give a different answer. They say, "What makes a nation prosperous is its wealth." I. Moses does not deny that wealth is a good thing. He takes for granted that the Jews... read more
