Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 8:11

"Beware lest thou forget Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 8:2

Ver. 2. To know what was in thine heart— Man's life is a state of probation. The wanderings of the children of Israel in the wilderness afford us a lively resemblance of the human pilgrimage through this world. God, who knows the hearts of all men, needs not to be informed how they are disposed towards him. The expression here, to know what was in thine heart, must therefore be understood after the manner of men; and the meaning is, that God did as men usually do when they want to try any one's... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 8:4

Ver. 4. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, &c.— See Deu 29:5 and Nehemiah 9:21. Houbigant renders this, tuae vestes non sunt attritae; thy garments are not worn out, which is preferable to waxed old. With respect to this matter, we observe, first, that some interpreters, not content to take the words of Moses in the letter, very much aggrandize the miracle. 1st, The Jewish rabbis tell you, that their clothes not only were preserved from decay, and their feet from swelling and growing... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 8:9

Ver. 9. A land whose stones are iron— i.e. Where the iron mines are as plentiful as quarries of stone in other places. Out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass; i.e. copper, of which brass is made. See chap. Deuteronomy 33:25. REFLECTIONS.—Repeated injunctions were given to urge their obedience; it was what God justly expected of them, and they need carefully perform. Two arguments are here mentioned. 1. What God had done for them in the wilderness. There they had gone through his gracious... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 8:10

Ver. 10. When thou hast eaten, &c. thou shalt bless the Lord— The Jews upon these words ground one of their positive precepts, that every one should bless God at his meals; a precept, not more commendable than reasonable: for what can be more reasonable than thankfully to acknowledge God, the giver of all good? And what time more proper to acknowledge him, than when his bounty has satisfied our hunger, and quenched our thirst? Upon this laudable and ancient custom, which was not peculiar to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 8:1

1. All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live—In all the wise arrangements of our Creator duty has been made inseparably connected with happiness; and the earnest enforcement of the divine law which Moses was making to the Israelites was in order to secure their being a happy (because a moral and religious) people: a course of prosperity is often called "life" (Genesis 17:18; Proverbs 3:2). live, and multiply—This reference to the future increase... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 8:2

2, 3. thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness—The recapitulation of all their checkered experience during that long period was designed to awaken lively impressions of the goodness of God. First, Moses showed them the object of their protracted wanderings and varied hardships. These were trials of their obedience as well as chastisements for sin. Indeed, the discovery of their infidelity, inconstancy, and their rebellions and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 8:4

4. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years—What a striking miracle was this! No doubt the Israelites might have brought from Egypt more clothes than they wore at their outset; they might also have obtained supplies of various articles of food and raiment in barter with the neighboring tribes for the fleeces and skins of their sheep and goats; and in furnishing them with such opportunities the care of Providence appeared. But the strong and pointed... read more

7. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land—All accounts, ancient and modern, concur in bearing testimony to the natural beauty and fertility of Palestine, and its great capabilities if properly cultivated. a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills—These characteristic features are mentioned first, as they would be most striking; and all travellers describe how delightful and cheerful it is, after passing through the barren and thirsty... read more
