Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:1-25
CRITICAL NOTES.—From the sanctification of domestic relations, to which laws of marriage and chastity in the previous chapter pointed, Moses now proceeds to legislate for the purity of the congregation and the camp.Deuteronomy 23:1-8. Rights of Citizenship in Israel. Forbidden to the mutilated in his sexual member (Deuteronomy 23:1). Mutilation practised among Gentiles, but unnatural in those made in God’s image and chosen to be God’s people (Leviticus 22:24). Bastard (Deuteronomy 23:2).... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 23:1-25
Chapter 23In chapter twenty-three, we find those that were restricted from coming into the temple. Eunuchs were forbidden in the temple.An Ammonite or Moabite was forbidden unto the tenth generation, for their failure to help the children of Israel during their wilderness experiences, and because they hired Balaam to curse them. And you're not to seek their peace or their prosperity. However an Edomite; being the descendents of Esau: and the Egyptians; because you were a stranger in their land.... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 23:1-25
Deuteronomy 23:1 . Shall not enter the congregation. Eunuchs might worship there, as appears from the viiith of Acts; but they could not hold any office. In regard to devotion, God has promised the pious Eunuch a place in his house, and a name better than that of sons and of daughters. Isaiah 56:5. Deuteronomy 23:3 . An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the congregation. The crime of Baal-peor was a very awful breach; and to this day we find certain crimes of ancestors deeply to... read more

Deuteronomy 23:14The Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp.Camp law and camp lifeI. An instructive comparison. The Church of God is in many respects comparable to a camp.1. It is a camp for separation. We are crusaders, and are separated from the mass for the service of the Cross which we bear on our hearts. We are in an enemy’s country, and we must keep ourselves to ourselves very much, or else we shall certainly fail of that holy military discipline which the Captain of our salvation... read more

Deuteronomy 23:15-16Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped.The escaped slaveA Flemish artist was painting a picture when two friends noticed the high finish of a broom which was only an insignificant item in the composition. He told them he should spend three more days in working on the broom, intending to be mindful of detail in the general effect of his picture. Moses gave grand laws to the Israelites. His legislation as to the religious duties of the people is... read more

Deuteronomy 23:22If thou shalt forbear to vow.Extraordinary and particular vows considered as not necessary under the Mosaic or expedient under the Christian institutionI. The nature of vows under the Jewish dispensation: which, as they are particularly voluntary engagements, we ought to observe when made, though we cannot infer a necessity of making them from the Divine law or the nature of things. It would seem but an ill consequence should we thus argue: God has commanded us in general to... read more

Deuteronomy 23:24-25Thou mayest eat grapes.Grapes and ears of corn freeThus a privilege was granted, but one strictly limited. A man who was thirsty might help himself to as many grapes as he cared to eat, but he was not to take any away. A man who was hungry might pluck ears of corn, as the disciples of Jesus did, and eat the grains, but he was not to carry a sheaf from the field. In this manner property was guarded. This is in harmony with the biblical law of property generally honoured at... read more

Deu 23:7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land. Ver. 7. For he is thy brother. ] And therefore to be borne with, though unkind and injurious. Howbeit, Fratrum concordia rara est: "A brother offended is harder to be won," saith the wise man, "than a strong city, and their contentions are like the bars of a castle."
