Deuteronomy 10:14

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12-22

What God demands of Israel (10:12-11:32)In summary, Moses’ instruction to Israel as a people was that they were to fear, obey, love and serve God, in the assurance that he desired only their good (12-13). He had chosen them in mercy, and he wanted them likewise to show mercy to others. They were to have humble purity of heart and genuine love, both in their relations with him and in their relations with others (14-20). They were not to be arrogant or boastful, but were to remember their humble... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 10:14

Ver. 14. Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens— As much as to say, "The whole universe is his: all people are under his government. If he has chosen you, it is the pure effect of his grace." The first heaven comprehends the atmosphere, and the space where the sun, moon, and stars shine: the second, or the heaven of heavens, all the glorious regions beyond them; particularly what is called the throne of God, the everlasting abode of blessedness and glory. In these words, the sacred... read more

Admonition to fear and love God 10:12-22Having recited what God had done for the Israelites, Moses now called on them to respond and make a commitment to Him."The structure of the passage reveals an enveloping pattern in which injunctions to obey God (Deuteronomy 10:12-13; Deuteronomy 20-22) embrace the corollary command to exhibit proper care and concern for other people, especially the socially and economically disadvantaged (Deuteronomy 10:14-19). The motive clause and that which binds the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 10:14-19

The rationale behind this response was that as God had demonstrated love for her so Israel was to demonstrate love for God (Deuteronomy 10:14-15). The phrase "highest heavens" (Deuteronomy 10:14) is a Hebrew idiom indicating the totality of heaven; it does not mean that there are multiple levels of heaven. [Note: Craigie, The Book . . ., p. 204; Merrill, Deuteronomy, p. 203.] "Above all, therefore, they were to circumcise the foreskin of their hearts, i.e., to lay aside all insensibility of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

Practical Exhortations (continued)1-5. The renewal of the broken covenant: see Exodus 34.6-9. These vv are evidently a parenthesis.The death of Aaron took place thirty-eight years after the departure from Sinai, but previous to the delivery of this discourse: see on Numbers 20:22-29; The notice of Aaron’s death seems to be inserted here to show that the sin of Aaron and the people did not bring the priesthood to a close. The covenant was renewed, and Aaron was spared for nearly forty years to... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

The Test of National Prosperity Deuteronomy 10:12 The Old Testament is concerned with tribes and nations rather than with individuals. The Law of Moses deals with Israel collectively as a whole. The prophets utter their burdens of doom not against evil persons, but against wicked kingdoms like Babylon, and Moab, and Egypt, and their great messages of hope and warning and consolation are addressed to Judah or Jerusalem rather than any single Jew. In this sense it is true that no Scripture is... read more

ISRAEL’S ELECTION, AND MOTIVES FOR FAITHFULNESSDeuteronomy 9:1-29; Deuteronomy 10:1-22; Deuteronomy 11:1-32THE remaining chapters of this special introduction to the statement of the actual laws beginning with chapter 12 contain also an earnest insistence upon other motives why Israel should remain true to the covenant of Yahweh. They are urged to this, not only because life both spiritual and physical depended upon it, as was shown in the trials of the wilderness, but they are also to lay it... read more

6. Jehovah’s Love and His Requirements of His People CHAPTER 10:12-22 1. Jehovah’s delight and love (Deuteronomy 10:12-15 ) 2. Admonition to fear and serve Jehovah (Deuteronomy 10:16-22 ) This section is especially precious. Jehovah speaks through Moses and reminds His people of Himself and His Love and what He requires of them. “Behold the heaven and the heaven of heavens is Jehovah’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.” What a marvellous call to fear and serve such a... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 10:1-22

THE SECOND GIVING OF THE LAW (vs.1-11) While Moses had spoken of events later than the giving of the law insist on the moral lessons of Israel's disobedience through the wilderness (ch.9:22-23), he returned in verse 25 to his intercession for Israel at the time of the giving of the law. Now he recalls God's instructions to hew two more tablets of stone (v.1), and bring them to the mountain of God. But He adds, "and make yourself an ark of wood." God would write the commandments again on... read more
