Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Chapter 29Chapter twenty-nine, God continues with this covenant.These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel. And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen what the Lord has done before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and his servants.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 29:1-29

Deuteronomy 29:1 . The words of the covenant; from co, con, or com; a social prefix; and venio, to come; the coming of two parties into one compact.

The covenant is all grace to man, and dictated by the donor; man has but to consent to it with all his heart, and all his soul. The blessings and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:16

Deuteronomy 29:16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; Ver. 16. How we have dwelt. ] And how hard is it to pass through Ethiopia, how much more to dwell there, and not to be discoloured! Sin is catching, and by the senses, those five ports of the soul, that old serpent oft winds himself into the heart. Ye have seen their abominations; oh that you would say, Satis est vidisse, &c. Now therefore, lest there should be,... read more

(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;Egypt — Where you have seen their idolatries, and learned too much of them, as the golden calf shewed, and therefore have need to renew your covenant with God; where also we were in dreadful bondage whence God alone hath delivered us, to whom therefore we are deeply obliged, and have all reason to renew our covenant with him.Through the nations — With what hazard, if God had not appeared... read more
