G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 1:1-46

The Book of Deuteronomy is didactic rather than historic. It consists of a collection of the final utterances of Moses and is a Book of review. It commences with a discourse in which Moses reviewed the forty years. This occupies chapters 1 Timothy 4:0, verse 43. The whole journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea should have occupied eleven days (verse Deu 1:2 ). The distance was not more than 125 miles. Because of unbelief they had spent forty years in the wilderness. We have in this chapter a... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1-43

Kadesh-Barnea Deuteronomy 1:1-43 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There are three things which need to be brought out in a definite way. 1. The suggestion of the verbal inspiration of the Bible. The chapter opens with this tremendous statement: "These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel." That Moses spake under the inspiration of God, we know. The Lord Jesus in referring to the Books of the Pentateuch said, concerning the words of Moses, "Have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God?"... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:1

‘The words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Iordan.’Deuteronomy 1:1Deuteronomy being a recapitulation of the law, and in a certain sense a summary of the preceding books, we might expect to find emphasised in it the lessons of these books. And this we do find. I. The Divine election of Israel, so prominent in Genesis, is here emphasised. Israel is bidden to remember it again and again, that by the remembrance he may be saved from the fatal sin of self-righteousness. He is taught... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 1:19

KADESH-BARNEA‘We came to Kadesh-barnea.’ Deuteronomy 1:19 The Hebrews had a wonderful preparation that should have led to a right decision at this crisis. Cowardice and distrust turned them back when only one march would have put them in Canaan. They turned back, and only two ever came so near again. I. Many here have all needful preparation for stepping over the line.—Christian birth and training, convinced all their lives, under great stress of conviction time and again. Now you may be at... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:1-5

Deuteronomy 1:0 . Preamble, History and Failure. The Preamble (Deuteronomy 1:1-5 ). Deuteronomy 1-5 of the chapter set the scene for the whole book. They are carefully constructed so as to form a literary unit. Note the chiastic literary pattern which opens and closes the two sections. ‘These are the words - which Moses spoke to all Israel - in Beyond Jordan --- in Beyond Jordan - in the land of Moab began Moses to declare - this instruction.’ (Deuteronomy 1:1 a, Deuteronomy 1:5). In between... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:6-8

Moses’ Recapitulation Of Their History (Deuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 4:43 ). Moses’ instruction will now commence, recapitulating their history, and describing what Yahweh had commanded. He will first demonstrate how their fathers had been satisfactorily established by Him as a populous nation enjoying righteous government, but had failed through unbelief and disobedience to capture the land He had wanted to give them, and because of that unbelief and their refusal to respond to covenant... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:9-18

He Points Out That There Should In Fact Have Been No Problem With Their Possessing Canaan Because Yahweh Had Made Them A Great Nation, Justly and Wisely Watched Over By Their Rulers, And Had Led Them Safely Through The Wilderness. Their Failure Was Not Yahweh’s Fault (Deuteronomy 1:9-18 ). He now draws attention to the fact that there was no excuse for the failure of their fathers to possess the land, because Yahweh had made them a great nation with an established and satisfactory system of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:19-25

So They Had Journeyed Safely To The Edge Of The Land With God’s Help And Had Sent Out Spies To Assess The Land Who Had Reported That It Was A Good Land (Deuteronomy 1:19-25 ). Deuteronomy 1:19 ‘ And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.’ The result was that they had been able safely and successfully to negotiate that great and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:26-28

Deuteronomy 1:26-28 ‘ Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you murmured in your tents, and said, “Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we, the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.” ’... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 1:29-31

Deuteronomy 1:29-31 ‘ Then I said to you, “Do not be in such dread, nor be afraid of them. Yahweh your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, in the same way as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness, where you (thou) have seen how Yahweh your God bore you (thee) , as a man bears his son, in all the way in which you (ye) went, until you came to this place.’ Moses assures them that he had immediately stepped in to give them confidence. Let them lose their... read more
