Geneva Study Bible - Deuteronomy 6:3

6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, {b} in the land that floweth with milk and honey.(b) Which has an abundance of all things needed for man’s life. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:1-25

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT (vs.1-9) The ten commandments have been reaffirmed in chapter 5; now Moses emphasizes and enlarges upon the significance of the four commandments, which we have seen deal with Israel's relationship to God. He introduces this in verses 1-3 by again pressing on Israel the importance of obedience. This would prolong their days in the land and that would thus multiply greatly in accordance with the Lord's promise as to their land flowing with milk and honey. Moses... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 6:1-19

Principles and Duties Deu 6:1-12 A wonderful change has taken place in the tone of Moses. We can tell by his very voice that he is much older than when we first knew him, and much tenderer. When we first heard his voice, we noted how singularly wanting it was in mellowness, sympathy, kindliness, such as sore and wounded hearts may recognise and bless. Throughout the Book of Exodus the tone of Moses was very high, penetrating, and commanding. Then a change took place in the whole manner of the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:2-3

Reader! do examine in your own heart for that which is among the first evidences of a renewed life, the fear of the LORD; for the sacred writer had it in commission to say, that it is the beginning of wisdom. And if you possess this filial, child-like fear, as distinguished from the fear of bondage, learn to give the LORD the glory of it. See Jeremiah 32:40 compared with Romans 8:15 . Moses adds a sweet note to the end of this verse, in taking in the consideration of the children, and the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:4

What a blessed verse is this, which folds within its short, but mighty contents, the foundation of all our faith. Our GOD, though existing in a manner totally distinct from all his creatures in a threefold character of Person, is but one and the same JEHOVAH. For, as the apostle beautifully represents it, There are Three that bear record in heaven; the FATHER, the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST; yet these three are but one. I would beg the Reader to remark with me, that though the verse be but short,... read more

Reader! do you know anything of this precept in your own experience? If so, bless the HOLY GHOST for shedding abroad this love in your heart: for he is the author of it. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:3

Hear. The Jews have a particular respect for the seven following verses, which they write on vellum, and recite every day, as a preservative against the devil. (Clarius.) --- To do. It will not suffice to hear nor to learn the law, we must also put it in execution, chap. v. 1. (Worthington) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:5

Whole heart....soul....and strength. God admits of no partner, nor will he suffer any rivulet to be drawn from the fountain of love, which is not ultimately referred to himself. Our neighbour we must love only for his sake, and by the observance of this two-fold precept, we shall fulfil the whole law and the prophets, Matthew xxii. 40. (Haydock) See St. Augustine, de Doct. i. 22. --- We must love God disinterestedly for his own sake: we must sacrifice our soul and life for his honour, with all... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 6:1-3

1-3 In this and the like passages, the "commandments" seem to denote the moral law, the "statues" the ceremonial law, and the "judgments" the law by which the judges decided. Moses taught the people all that, and that only, which God commanded him to teach. Thus Christ's ministers are to teach his churches all he has commanded, neither more nor less, Matthew 28:20. The fear of God in the heart will be the most powerful principle of obedience. It is highly desirable that not we only, but our... read more
