Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:1-8

1-8 Moses spake to the people all the Lord had given him in commandment. Horeb was but eleven days distant from Kadesh-barnea. This was to remind them that their own bad conduct had occasioned their tedious wanderings; that they might the more readily understand the advantages of obedience. They must now go forward. Though God brings his people into trouble and affliction, he knows when they have been tried long enough. When God commands us to go forward in our Christian course, he sets the... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:9-18

9-18 Moses reminds the people of the happy constitution of their government, which might make them all safe and easy, if it was not their own fault. He owns the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham, and prays for the further accomplishment of it. We are not straitened in the power and goodness of God; why should we be straitened in our own faith and hope? Good laws were given to the Israelites, and good men were to see to the execution of them, which showed God's goodness to them, and the... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:19-46

19-46 Moses reminds the Israelites of their march from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, through that great and terrible wilderness. He shows how near they were to a happy settlement in Canaan. It will aggravate the eternal ruin of hypocrites, that they were not far from the kingdom of God. As if it were not enough that they were sure of their God before them, they would send men before them. Never any looked into the Holy Land, but they must own it to be a good land. And was there any cause to distrust... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 1:1-8

The Introduction v. 1. These be the words, the addresses, which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the semiarid steppes, in the plain over against the Red Sea, after whose passage they had entered into the wilderness, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. The stations of the desert were just barely behind the children of Israel, and the impression of the wilderness still prevailed. The geographic reference at this point recalls... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 1:9-18

The Assistants of Moses v. 9. And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone. Moses does not observe the chronological order of events, but selects such as were of importance for his present purpose. It was while the people were encamped at Horeb that Moses arranged for assistants, Exodus 18:13-Ezekiel :. The seventy elders were appointed at a later date, Numbers 11:14-Amos :. v. 10. The Lord, your God, hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as... read more

Kadesh-Barnea and the Spies. v. 19. And when we departed from Horeb, Numbers 10:11, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, during their journey to reach that country, as the Lord, our God, commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea, which may be considered as being located in the extreme southern boundary of the Amorite country. v. 20. And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, the range which... read more

I. THE FIRST DISCOURSEDeuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 4:401. The command of God for the breaking up from Horeb—and the promise. (Deuteronomy 1:6-8).6The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all [his neighbors—see marg.] the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea-side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-18

Moses Recalls the Start from Horeb Deuteronomy 1:1-18 To this new generation Moses spake the holy law of God, since they had not heard it at Sinai. In view of the great Lawgiver’s approaching decease, it was necessary to re-edit it. The name of this book means the second giving of the Law. The Red Sea in Deuteronomy 1:1 , a.v., must be replaced by Suph, r.v. Evidently it was somewhere in the neighborhood of Pisgah. It is meet for us on a birthday, or some such anniversary, to review the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:19-40

the Penalty of Unbelief Deuteronomy 1:19-40 There is little to distinguish Kadesh-barnea among the sand-dunes of the desert. It was situated on the frontier, where Canaan fades into the southern desert. But it is a notable place in the spiritual chart, and few are they that have not passed through some notable experience there. It was there that Israel thought more of their enemies and difficulties than of the right hand of the Most High. When we look at circumstances apart from God; when we... read more
