Heavenly Father, Help us to faithfully obey Your voice and being careful to do all that You command, today and in the future. Consequently it is not an isolated fact that they wished spies, or that Jehovah acceded to their desire to have them (this we have already seen), but here "Ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come." This is clearly shown. It reminds them of his gracious acts on their behalf and calls from them a fitting response of covenant loyalty. There are deeper feelings in the heart than joy.

Craigie, The Book of Deuteronomy, p. God Himself did not disclose Himself by an external creature-shape. "So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed from among the people, that Jehovah spake unto me, saying, Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them."

Jehovah went along with them; and of course the faithful turned back just as much as the unfaithful. Thus was kept up a thorough sense of discipline in the people, and above all dependence on and confidence in Jehovah. I can't stand that. We are far from being then on the ground of a mere rehearsal of what has been shown in the previous books.

We see that what has been remarked is just what is expressed in this verse: "And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only," (what exercise of faith was there in that?)

The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: "You have stayed at this mountain long enough. So they began the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, which Moses begins to rehearse for them in chapter two. I do not envy them the thought that God has not revealed His mind about what is nearest to Himself, and what most of all is bound up with His glory! If it is a question of access to God in His sanctuary, priests are definitely brought out, and the proper book for this is Leviticus; but there is a larger truth than this that God has a people whom He puts in a place of consecration to Himself. And this is another chapter from which our Lord quotes when tempted, to which we may refer in passing. But Satan as usual tampered with the plain written word, alike with its letter and its spirit; for after "to keep thee" he omitted "in all thy ways." It was simply a question of subjection to God and obeying Him, who had from the first a plan for the nations round Israel as their centre. So long God had borne their manners, and they had borne their own iniquity (Numbers 14:34), and now that a new and more pleasant scene was to be introduced, as a token for good, Moses repeats the law to them. In the one case there was the thorough sifting and scrutiny of God with whom most? Surely this is highly significant. Ver. Conceive the state of mind which could say that "in Deuteronomy Moses repeatedly lays the blame of his expulsion on the people (Deuteronomy 1:37; Deuteronomy 3:26; Deuteronomy 4:21); but according toNumbers 20:12; Numbers 20:12 God punished him thus for not believing Him, while inNumbers 27:14; Numbers 27:14 his punishment was occasioned by the legislator's own disobedience"! And so it is important that we not fail where they failed but that we, by faith, take this position of victory, of power, of strength, of walking in the spirit reckoning the old man, the old nature, to be dead with Christ.So, that which should have taken eleven days took them forty years, actually forty-one years to be exact, because it wasn't until the forty-first year on the tenth day that they entered in to the land that God had promised. [Note: Kalland, p. 22.

"Judah, thou, thy brethren shall praise thee; thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; before thee shall bow down the sons of thy father. Such was the uniform walk of Jesus. But it was not a question here of truth or its forms, but of obedience: this is ever in view. [Breakfast with the Jews came late in the forenoon, and these closing days of our Lord's ministry were full of activity that did not have time to tarry at Bethany for it. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. "Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword," the small things as well as great. Gods guidance from Sinai to Kadesh 1:6-46. 29.) Pray it at midnight and midday. Still stubborn and disobedient, the people who would not go into Canaan with God then tried to conquer the country without him. The word of Jehovah mentioned here is not found in this form in the previous history; but as a matter of fact it is contained in the divine instructions that were preparatory to their removal (Numbers 1-4 and Numbers 9:15-10:10), and the rising of the cloud from the tabernacle, which followed immediately afterwards (Numbers 10:11). This is what Moses is enforcing by every possible kind of declaration and motive; by his own example and by theirs, as well as the example of their fathers. "Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons.". "And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, It is most instructive to note how exceedingly anxious the early Christians were, that, as soon as a man was converted, he should be "filled with the Holy Ghost." in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book." In Deuteronomy 5:12 the term keep corresponds to remember in Exodus 20:8, and the last clause of the former verse, 'as the Lord thy God hath commanded,' is wanting in Exodus. What a horrible thing, what a horrible thing to say about God and against God; God hates us. It is a call to obedience. II. Praying through Deuteronomy 31:6. He is encouraging them to go in and to take the land that God had promised to them. The Lord will conquer your . These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. And you know God told me to go here and it was just really horrible and all," and all this stuff. These were solemn words to bring before the minds of Israel just about to enter into the good land. (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.) This was the mount that burned with fire (Hebrews 12:18), and gendered to bondage,Galatians 4:24.

Was this their trust? saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: or near it; for hither they came on the first day of the third month from their departure out of Egypt, and they did not remove from thence until the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, Exodus 19:1 so that they were here a year wanting ten days; in which space of time the law was given them, the tabernacle and all things appertaining to it were made by them, rulers both ecclesiastical and civil were appointed over them, and they were numbered and marshalled in order under four standards, and so ready to march; and all this being done, they must stay no longer, but set forward for the land of Canaan. There he kept them about a year, and then told them they had dwelt long enough there, they must go forward. I'm tempted to smack you in the mouth talking about God that way. It is evident therefore, that this book has the most sensible difference from all that preceded it. All the previous part prepares the way. Now he dwells chiefly on their part in the matter, confessing his own inability to cope with their great increase, which ho touchingly entreats God to swell a thousand times, but withal urges on the rulers to judge righteously. Taking the passage in this light, and reading the wider truth into it, we get the idea of a land which is: 1. They failed to enter in by faith to that which God had promised to them. None ever honoured God's word as Christ did. Nothing less. 17; 1 Kings Lewis BaylyThe Practice of Piety, The Mountainous Country of Judea. See Romans 8:15. The true Israelite does not require to put God to the test. It seems just a parenthesis, and not a question of chronology.*. We can all see how very bad it was in Israel; but do we feel that it is still worse in the Christian? But there never was a system that more thoroughly pandered to the evil heart of man, and gratified it in its violence against others, and in its corrupt lusts for itself, than that frightful imposture. Which the Holy Scripture called "The hill-country of Judah," Joshua 21:11; Luke 1:39. At the same time we are told how the tribe of Levi was separated, after having brought in (in an episodical way) an allusion to Aaron's death. ^d 11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? It is pentecost. The LORD our God spake unto you in Horeb, saying, You have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, [and so forth] and take the land that I have promised. 3) and dwelling in inaccessible light (1 Tim.

"Now therefore hearken, O Israel." "And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.".

Accordingly this is the solemn and central truth that is brought in here. But the second feast brings out joy in a very distinct and delightful manner. Deuteronomy 1:6-9: Pulpit Commentary Homiletics.

Again, what can be more simple and appropriate than that Moses at the close should omit the name and counsel of Jethro, and bring the people into greater prominence than himself in the choice of rulers? And that which I could not do because of the weakness of my flesh I find that God has done for me and has made provision for me through the power of the Holy Spirit. ii. God must and does choose for Himself a simple yet most important consideration (ver. II. It is not the people's consecration to God, but their discipline, the trial of heart, and exercise by the way to which Jehovah subjected the people; and a most instructive section it is in this point of view. Pray it during the day too. But nobody knows about the sabbath-day unless Jehovah command it. Not withstanding [Moses said] you rebelled against the Lord: And you murmured in your tents ( Deuteronomy 1:26-27 ). 6 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

His brother was the political head of that community in Alexandria, and he himself on one occasion represented his co-religionists, Alfred EdersheimThe Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, A Plain Description of the Essence and Attributes of God, Out of the Holy Scripture, So Far as Every Christian must Competently Know, and Necessarily Believe, that Will be Saves. "Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Jehovah God of your fathers giveth you. And in it, I must recognize that this old body of flesh, with its desires, has been crucified that it should no longer rule over me but that I now can be ruled by the spirit of God.Now Paul describes his wilderness experience in the seventh chapter of Romans as he talks about seeing the law of God, consenting that the law of God was good and determining to fulfill the law of God. In the one case there was a remembrance of creation; in this case, of symbolic redemption, the bringing out of Egypt. Thus Jehovah from the very first was teaching them that they were not called out on an errand of indiscriminate conquest. There is no better evidence and earnest of God's favour than his putting his law in our hearts, Psalms 147:19; Psalms 147:20. Here then we have all laid bare. So it habitually is where the faith is real; but nature is not yet judged root and branch. Deuteronomy 31:6 - Prayer Points For Protection From Fear/Failure. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land; no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession." This is so decided that in the millennial age there will be a strict maintenance of that day with all the authority of God Himself, vested in and exercised by the Messiah governing Israel and the earth. Is not this very notable? Of it, in the eastern part, there is this mention: "From Rekam to the east, and Rekam is as the, (Road from Bethany and Jerusalem.

Now comes another promise: "Behold," says He, "I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite." What did it matter about all others? You may not possess all of your possessions and yet, if you spend your life roaming in the wilderness it's not God's will, it's not his desire, but he will be with you there and help you there.

Yet they complained against him and refused to go with him into the land he had chosen for them (19-33). Some there are, no doubt, who assume that God has not in these things expressed any will of His, own. We luxuriate in retired communion, in restful fellowship with God, in converse with fellow-believers, in Church ordinances; and we think how sweet it would be if this could always last.

Philo of Alexandria and Rabbinic Theology. Hence therefore we see why it is that the first circumstance in their history brought before them was that God told them not to go up to the mountain of the Amorites; but they would go up in self-will and self-confidence, and utterly failed before their enemies. In Deuteronomy 10:1-22 we find the provision of Jehovah's goodness is stated in a very striking way. The consequence is that, though all have their place, these distinctions may here seem small indeed. When we compare, for instance, the way in which Moses, under the direction of God, was to lead on the Israelites, and the way in which Mahomet perverted the word into a fable for ambitious ends, and allowance of human lusts and passions, who cannot see the difference? "Hear, O Israel." He was just being led by his own mind. Begin to move forward in your spiritual development, in your spiritual life.
