Geneva Study Bible - Deuteronomy 8:14

8:14 Then thine heart {h} be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;(h) By attributing God’s benefits to your own wisdom and labour, or to good fortune. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

REMEMBER! DO NOT FORGET! (vs.1-20) Israel was left no opportunity to say they did not understand what God was telling them. He repeated it in many different ways and insisted on it in no uncertain terms. Verse 1 emphasizes again that Israel must observe every commandment God gave, that they might live and multiply in possession of their land. They must remember how the Lord God had led them all through their forty years of trial in the wilderness. That history was designed by God to humble... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

WARNING AND EXHORTATIONS OBEDIENCE (Deuteronomy 7:0 ) What were the names of the seven nations of Canaan to be cast out for their iniquity (Deuteronomy 7:1 )? Who would cast them out, and in what manner is the supernatural character of the act emphasized? Nevertheless, what illustrates the divine use of means (Deuteronomy 7:2 )? What command is laid on the Israelites in the premises (Deuteronomy 7:2-3 )? And why (Deuteronomy 7:4 )? To what extent should their zeal be exhibited, and why... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

The Plan of Life Deuteronomy 8:0 This chapter may be considered as laying down the sacred and stimulating doctrine that our life is planned and ordered for us as to its divine side and moral obligation. We are not called upon to consider the great questions of moral duty or righteousness or good conduct in any of its vital springs, with a view to conceiving some plan of our own as to the realisation of perfect character. The idea of this chapter is that all moral duties have been defined and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:5-6

Reader! I charge it upon you, as one of the most blessed improvements in our adoption character, that we esteem correction an evidence of fatherly relationship and love; and the want of it as a sign of bastardy. See those Scriptures, Hebrews 12:5-10 ; Revelation 3:19 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:7-9

There was a striking contrast to Israel, considered only in a natural sense, between the land of Canaan and the wilderness. But take it in a gospel sense, and how is the description heightened! The law was a shadow of good things to come: And therefore the goodly land, to which JESUS brings his people, is a land not simply of brooks of water, but there is a river proceeding out of the throne of GOD and the LAMB, the streams thereof make glad the city of our GOD. It is watered with the gifts and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:10-20

I bring the whole of these verses into one point of view for shortness sake, and, because the doctrine of the whole is one and the same; namely, that the LORD'S grace ought never to be made the occasion of ingratitude. But, in a gospel sense, the precept riseth to an infinitely higher strain. Whoever would ascribe to human merit what divine mercy alone hath wrought, is literally robbing GOD. And is not everyone doing this who joins anything to the finished salvation of the LORD JESUS, arising... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:7

Out. The Jordan was the only river of consequence; but there were many torrents, &c., which rendered the country very different from that where they had been travelling for 40 years. (Haydock) --- Hebrew, "of fountains, of abysses, which spring in vales and on mountains," having their origin in the sea. (Chaldean; Ecclesiastes i. 7.) "Judea is famous for its waters," says Solinus, (35,) "and the Jordan, a most enchanting river, runs through regions of equal beauty." (Calmet) read more

Honey, extracted from dates. (Du Hamel) --- Almost all the luxuries of the earth might be found in the promised land; so that it was justly said to flow with milk and honey. (Haydock) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:9

Iron, equal in hardness, and used to cut things, in the same manner as we use iron or steel, Isaias lx. 17. --- Brass. There were mines of both in Mount Libanus; and David collected great quantities of such metals from C'9closyria, 3 Kings xviii. 8., and 1 Paralipomenon xxii. 3, 14. Sidon was noted for its brass. (Homer, Odyssey xv. 425.) Sarepta probably took its name from the "foundry" established there. Dan and Aser had abundance of iron and brass, chap. xxxiii. 25., and Ezechiel xxvii. 19.... read more
