Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Deuteronomy 23:5

DISCOURSE: 215GOD’S CARE FOR HIS PEOPLEDeuteronomy 23:5. The Lord thy God would not hearken unto Salaam: for the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee.TO those who are ignorant of the way of salvation, we preach Christ crucified: for “there is no other name under heaven but his, whereby any man can be saved.” But to those who are well instructed in the fundamental truths of our holy religion, we bring forward rather what relates to the life... 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 23:5

Deuteronomy 23:5The Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing.Balaam’s curse turned into a blessing by GodHere a difficult question meets us. Was there any reality whatever in Balaam’s curse! Or was it altogether a harmless thing--in fact, nothing at all? If there was nothing in it, why should it have been averted Why should it be said that God “would not hearken unto Balaam”? Why not let it be pronounced? The result would have shown that there was no power or reality in it. On the other... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 23:14

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

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.

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 23:22

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
