Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Deuteronomy 8:2

Deuteronomy THE LESSON OF MEMORY Deu_8:2 . The strand of our lives usually slips away smoothly enough, but days such as this, the last Sunday in a year, are like the knots on a sailor’s log, which, as they pass through his fingers, tell him how fast it is being paid out from the reel, and how far it has run off. They suggest a momentary consciousness of the swift passage of life, and naturally lead us to a glance backwards and forwards, both of which occupations ought to be very good for... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

Beware of Forgetting God Deuteronomy 8:1-20 “Thou shalt remember,” Deuteronomy 8:2 ; “thou shalt consider,” Deuteronomy 8:5 ; “thou shalt bless,” Deuteronomy 8:10 . The lessons of hunger, Deuteronomy 8:1-9 : “Suffered to hunger.” “Blessed are they that hunger.” “Man doth not live by bread only;” he hungers for knowledge, opportunity, society, love. How many wan faces around us bear witness to the gnawing within. But the Father suffered His Son to fast; and so he deals with us, to prove us.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

Still continuing this discourse, Moses declared that the land when purified of the corrupt people was to be possessed by the people of God as His chosen nation. He showed that the first condition of possession was that they should remember the past with all it had taught them. They must never forget that God had led them and that the way of His leading was purposeful. All the experiences of the wilderness were in order that they might learn two lessons: first, that they might know their own... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

Lest We Forget Deuteronomy 8:1-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We remember a verse which reads, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." There are some who desire to hold themselves completely to the New Testament message for the Church. This, however, cannot be right, in view of the Scripture we have just quoted. The Old Testament is filled with messages to Israel, or, concerning Israel, which have a... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:2

‘ALL THE WAY’‘These forty years.’ Deuteronomy 8:2 This is the lesson of our lives. This is God’s training, not only for the Jews, but for us. We read these verses to teach us that God’s ways with man do not change; that His fatherly hand is over us, as well as over the people of Israel; that their blessings are our blessings, their dangers are our dangers; that, as St. Paul says, all these things are written for our example. I. ‘He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger.’—How true to life... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:1-3

Chapter 8 They Must Remember That Yahweh Is Their Provider and Observe His Instruction And Not Forget His Commandments. In the previous chapters Moses has constantly reminded them of how Yahweh delivered them from Egypt and from bondage (see especially the details in Deuteronomy 7:19, compare Deuteronomy 4:20; Deuteronomy 6:12; Deuteronomy 6:21-23), now he calls on them to remember how He had also delivered them in the wilderness (compare Deuteronomy 2:7) and the lessons that they learned... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:4

‘ Your clothes did not grow old on you, nor did your foot swell, these forty years.’ They were to remember how, while they wandered in that wilderness, they were fully provided for. They did not live in poverty so that their clothes grew old and ragged. Rather they had had sufficient so that they could afford to renew their clothing. Nor had they suffered from debilitating feet problems. This may have been seen as because they had abundance of oils to soothe them. They had been short of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:5

‘ And you shall consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.’ Furthermore when they are tested, as they were then and will be, they must consider in their hearts that just as a man chastens his children for their good, so does Yahweh chasten them, His children. Here again He emphasises that He is to them as a father. Remembering the lesson of God’s provision of the manna when all seemed hopeless, and the chastening that a good father always gives to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:6

‘ And you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.’ So with this in mind they must truly continue to keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, to walk constantly in His ways, and to fear Him. As a son listens to his father, so must they listen to Him. read more

Peter Pett

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
