G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 4:1-49

On the ground of this survey Moser exhorted the people to be obedient, His appeal was based on the greatness of their God and the perfection of His law. Their whole existence as a nation centered around a spiritual ideal. Therefore, he re-emphasized the importance of their attempting to make no likeness to God. Looking on into the future, he uttered words which in the light of subsequent history are seen to have been prophetic. He actually foretold the story of the corruption of the people in... read more

Parting Words Deuteronomy 4:1-49 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is, perhaps, strange to some that we speak of the fourth chapter of Deuteronomy as "Parting words," yet the whole Book of Deuteronomy centers in the final message which Moses gave to the Children of Israel. You remember in Deuteronomy 3:27 God had told Moses of his being permitted to ascend to the top of Pisgah and behold the promised land. The actual ascent is described in chapter 34, Deuteronomy 34:1 . Moses was 120 years of age. He had... read more

What Their Fate Will Be If They Turn Away From Him To Graven Images (Deuteronomy 4:25-29 ). This fate had already been portrayed by what had happened to their fathers who were driven from the land (Deuteronomy 1:44-45). It was being portrayed by what would happen to Moses who was to be excluded from the land. It will be brought home by what should happen to the Canaanites as they are driven out and scattered. For the land can only receive and hold the good. Thus if they fail and become... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 4:1-40

Deuteronomy 4:1-Matthew : . Second Part of Moses’ First Address.— This contains exhortations to obedience from motives of self-interest and of gratitude to Yahweh, and forms an apparent logical unity with Deuteronomy 1:6 to Deuteronomy 3:29: but the two pieces had probably a separate origin. The lessons in Deuteronomy 4:1-Matthew : are not drawn immediately from chs. 1– 3. The writer of 1– 3 has in mind the events which followed the departure from Horeb: that of Deuteronomy 4:1-Matthew :... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 4:1-49

CRITICAL NOTES.—From the mention of what God had done for Israel, Moses passes to the obedience of the law. They were under deep obligation to keep it, and in doing so, consisted their wisdom, greatness, and destiny.Deuteronomy 4:1. Statutes—rules concerning religion and Divine worship. Judgments—civil enactments, public and private. The two denote the whole law in its leading features (Leviticus 19:37).Deuteronomy 4:2. This law must not be altered; but kept as God’s unchangeable... read more

Chapter 4NOW therefore ( Deuteronomy 4:1 )Moses is now making application.NOW therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do them, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD the God of your fathers is given to you. For ye shall not add unto the word which I commanded, neither shall ye diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you ( Deuteronomy 4:1-2 ).So the forbidden to add or... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 4:1-49

Deuteronomy 4:2 . Ye shall not add unto the word. This would be to debase revelation, and treat the divine law as a defective production of man, that needed additions and retrenchments. Solon, the Athenian lawgiver, obtained an oath from the principal officers of the senate to observe his laws inviolate for ten years, till he should return from his travels. Besides, the tabernacle being a type of heaven, would utterly be gaited and marred by the fanciful rituals devised by men. Yet many... read more

Deuteronomy 4:1-40Now 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.Moses’ discourse1. In general it is the use and application of the foregoing history. It comes in by way of inference from it (Deuteronomy 4:1). This use we should make of the review of God’s providences, we should by them be quickened to duty and obedience. The histories of ancient times should, in like manner, be... read more

Deuteronomy 4:29-31If from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God.Conversions encouragedI. First, then, there is a time mentioned. “If from thence thou shalt seek the Lord . . . When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee even in the latter days.”1. The time in which the Lord bids you seek Him, O you unforgiven ones, is, first of all, “from thence”--that is, from the condition into which you have fallen, or the position which you now occupy. Today, even today, He bids... read more
