Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:2

Sweet precept! Oh! that the blessed Remembrancer of CHRIST JESUS, even GOD the HOLY GHOST, may graciously do this precious office, both in the Writer's and the Reader's heart, and bring continually to our forgetful minds the tokens of divine love, which have been manifested towards us through all our wilderness state! read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:3

Reader! search and see whether these marks are in your experience. Are you indeed humbled under a sense of your own need and JESUS' fullness? Hath the LORD caused you to hunger spiritually (for this is the sweet sense of the passage interpreted upon gospel terms) and hath a gracious GOD indeed fed you with that blessed food which neither you, nor your fathers after the flesh, nor any of the sons of Adam, ever knew naturally; even JESUS the living bread, which, as he himself hath explained it,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:4

Was not this a standing miracle, that the garments of the Israelites should not wear out during forty years? There were no shops for supply in the wilderness. The people brought with them indeed what clothes they had; but these could not have remained, had not GOD so miraculously made them last. Exodus 12:34 . But will not the Reader call to mind, in this place, JESUS' care for his people, when he sent them out without purse, or scrip, or shoes, and they lacked nothing? Luke 22:35 . 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 8:1

Live a long and happy life; which was often promised to the carnal Jews, to encourage them to fill God's commands. Christians are willing to forego these temporal advantages, that they may obtain such as may last for ever. (Calmet) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:2

Prove, which is done frequently by posterity also, ver. 3, 12, 14. After trying the fidelity of his people by various means, to make them sensible of their own weakness and inability to do good, God takes pity on them, ver. 16. (Calmet) --- Known. Hebrew, "to know (by experience) what was in thy heart, whether," &c. The original term signifies also to make known to others, Genesis xxii. 12. (Haydock) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:3

Not in bread alone, &c. i.e. That God is able to make food of what he pleases for the support of man. (Challoner) --- Obedience to his law will insure a happy life, ver. 1. God can support a person's life without any sustenance, as he did Moses, Elias, &c., for a long time. When the usual food is wanting, he can send some of a supernatural kind, as he did the manna. --- Word. Hebrew, "by whatever proceedeth," &c. The Septuagint and our Saviour (Matthew iv. 4,) cite it, however,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:4

Worn, for want of shoes, chap. xxix. 5. (Chaldean) This miracle of the Hebrews, being so well provided with raiment in a desert country, is mentioned, 2 Esdras ix. 21. Cosmas (B. v.) allows only that merchants constantly supplied them, and Abenezra thinks that they had brought plenty for change out of Egypt. (Calmet) --- But the Scripture seems to acknowledge something more wonderful; namely, the good condition of the people's feet, and of their garments, after they had been worn for such a... read more
