Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 8:1-20

Deuteronomy 8:4 . Thy raiment waxed not old. By a miracle the Lord preserved the clothes of the Israelites from wearing and decay, or by means of trade and war with the supplies they brought from Egypt, and by their own manufactures in the deserts; for they were never seen in nakedness and rags. The beautiful cloth of the tabernacle was all manufactured in the vicinity of mount Sinai; consequently, they could do much towards manufacturing their own raiment. Deuteronomy 8:9 . Dig brass. ... read more

Deuteronomy 8:1-2Remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee.Remembering and forgetting (with Philippians 3:13):--Thou shalt remember, and thou shalt forget. We need a good memory and a good forgettery.I. First, then, the past; we are to remember it. The old lawgiver sought to make the nation’s great history sacramental. Much might well be forgotten. The old rebellions, the old murmurings, their lapses from loyalty, and the heavy, hard work they had made for their great spiritual... read more

Deuteronomy 8:3-6He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna.The pilgrims’ grateful recollectionsI. Let us pass in review the favours of the lord, taking what He did for Israel as being typical of what He has done for us.1. The first blessing mentioned is that of humbling: “And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger.” Not very highly esteemed among men will this favour be; and at first, perhaps, it may be regarded by ourselves as being rather a judgment, one of... read more

Deuteronomy 8:7-9The Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land.The land of promiseWe will first take the central picture which is presented to us, and we shall then notice the neighbouring thoughts held up to us. “The Lord bringeth thee into a good land.” These words were uttered, as you know, to a number of people who had never seen anything but the wilderness. They had not an actual knowledge, but they had only heard by description, by their fathers’ memory lingering upon what they had once... read more

Deuteronomy 8:10When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God.Prosperity a testThese words occur in Moses’ farewell charge to the Israelites. Moses had long stood to his people in the relation of father as well as general, and, like a father, has at the end a good many last words to speak. This whole Book of Deuteronomy is made up of last words; his last will and testament to the Hebrew people. He wanted to clinch the instruction that had been given them already. His... read more

Deuteronomy 8:11-17Beware that thou forget not the Lord.National wealthHere we have Moses’ answer to the first great question in politics--What makes a nation prosperous? To that wise men have already answered, as Moses answered, “Good government; government according to the laws of God.” But the multitude, who are not wise men, give a different answer. They say, “What makes a nation prosperous is its wealth. If Britain be only rich, then she must be safe and right.”I. Moses does not deny that... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:2

Deu 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. Ver. 2. To know what was, ] i.e., To discover and make known to thyself and others. a When fire is put to green wood, there comes out abundance of watery stuff that before appeared not. When the pond is empty, the mud, filth, and toads come to light. The... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:3

Deu 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Ver. 3. And he humbled thee. ] Humbled they were, many of them, but not humble: low, but not lowly. Perdiderunt fructum afflictionum, &c. a That he might make thee know. ] We never know so well, how good,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 8:4

Deu 8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. Ver. 4. Thy raiment weaved not old. ] It was not the worse for wearing, but grew as their bodies did, as some are of opinion. They needed not to trouble themselves with those anxious thoughts of heathens, what they should eat, drink, or put on. Never was prince served and supplied in such state as these Israelites were. read more
