It is after this will come the full time of joy for the earth. His Father will take care of him. For what are we here but to please God? Philo of Alexandria and Rabbinic Theology. Now recognizing my weakness, I'm crying for power outside of myself. In the first section, i.-iv. Such was the genuine result of sending the spies. The book of Deuteronomy acknowledges this failure, and takes its stand not only on the fact that it was impossible to deny, it but on the duty of confessing it. Consequently we have these three feasts, which set forth particularly Jehovah providing to fill the heart of His people with peace and joy to overflowing, Yet at the first of these feasts Israel were not told to rejoice. Not withstanding [Moses said] you rebelled against the Lord: And you murmured in your tents ( Deuteronomy 1:26-27 ). Deuteronomy 1:6-8New International Version. The life that God wants you to live, a life of victory, a life of overcoming. it is an easy thing to say, "We have sinned;" but how often we have to learn that it is not the quick abrupt confession of sin which affords evidence that sin is felt! Our J. Times we know when the sense of what we have been, of what we are, and of God's putting all our evil away for ever by the death of His own Son, is too deep for joy if not for tears. A great auditory, no question, he had, as many as could crowd within hearing, and particularly all the elders and officers, the representatives of the people; and, probably, it was on the sabbath day that he delivered this to them. Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount. And I cannot bring my flesh into conformity unto God. They might be greater, stronger, wiser, more than the Israelites; but what of Jehovah? Here is a list of powerful I AM affirmations that could be used as prayer points. 364-366.). Who shall deliver me from this bondage to my flesh?" (6) The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb.--The "Lord our God," "Jehovah our Elohim," is the watchword of the whole book. Ver. We may without difficulty see the admirable appropriateness of such an introduction. Now, apart from the irreverence of so treating an inspired book, such an impression is as far as possible from the fact. 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. How good is the Lord! The Christian is not a mere man, nor is he a Jew. In Psalms it says, "And they limited the holy one of Israel by their unbelief" ( Psalms 78:41 ). Keep me alert to the dangers of falling into a worldly mindset and help me to keep the eyes of my heart on Jesus. So, they are words of encouragement as he is recounting that which God has done. 30.) "Reckon ye your old man to be dead with Christ. The law-giver sets before them the manner in which the law dealt with themselves, in one feature particularly, which he presses on them. 3) and dwelling in inaccessible light (1 Tim. No compulsion was used to the nations outside. The Israelites thought to settle the whole matter with God by saying, "We have sinned;" but then they proved that there was nothing settled, nothing right; because what really pleases God is this the acceptance of His good will, whatever it be. p. 136 (Pitman's Edition). And it is always our unbelief that places the limitations upon the work that God is seeking to do in our lives. [Note: Craigie, p. ( Romans 7:24 ). ". 16); yet it has pleased his majesty to reveal himself to us in his word, so far as our weak capacity can best conceive him. I must have to come to the place where I despair of freeing myself or despair of my own righteousness or despair of ever being righteous in the eyes of God by my own works and my own efforts. Not, indeed, by carnal weapons, as the Israelites were commanded to conquer Canaan, nor yet by the destruction of those against whom we war; but by the nobler weapons of the truth, and by seeking men's salvation. If we have," &c. In the same sceptical spirit follows Dr. Colenso. What was meant by this? For Jehovah thy God blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing." (I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the Mount.)" British Library, Harleian MS. 5596. 35; xxxii. ), "2 Notwithstanding such express declaration, the following diversities occur. It is as true for us as for them, though not shown in the same legal way or outward manner. 5; John iv. Which the Holy Scripture called "The hill-country of Judah," Joshua 21:11; Luke 1:39. It is not therefore a question of how far the offerings, etc. "Hear, O Israel." That was a tragedy of failure on their part and it was a failure of faith. Appendix ii. And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. But the motive here is not because God rested upon that day, but because they were to remember that they were servants in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah had brought them out through a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm: "Therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath-day." "Who shall deliver me" and God's answer then comes, "I am delivered by the power the dynamic of the spirit for ye shall receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you"( Acts 1:8 ). Now it was God's desire all along to bring them into the land. That generation had passed away no doubt. We need further insight to think the right way and make right life decisions. Such then is the early and remarkably striking introduction to the book. We say, "Oh, but I'm so weak and I've tried so hard and you don't know how long I've been struggling with this thing". Monday, April 4, a.d. 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?) 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the . They would have further proof of Gods unfailing goodness when they saw the rich land God was giving them. It is granted that they did not all perish in the same way, but they all fell in the wilderness. If a person takes what does not belong to him, every man, even a heathen, can judge it. For a reason given already. Then again we have what is always brought out in the book of Deuteronomy. And when they had situations that were too difficult for them to handle, that Moses would handle those cases. Once more obedience is pre-eminently the matter, and this too as delivered men once bondslaves, but now free to obey (ver. And as for the children of Ammon, they too had passed through similar experience. vi. The discourse itself. "Jehovah said unto me, Fear not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. This too explains why the book of Deuteronomy is made use of in the New Testament in so very striking a manner, and in circumstances so eminently critical. Again, in Deuteronomy 5:16 two new clauses are supplied, 'and that it may go well with thee,' and 'as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.' It was no longer "How shall I free myself?" His death to the law is not therefore to weaken the authority of the law, but because of the principles of divine grace which are now brought out in Christ risen from the dead, founded on His death, manifested in His resurrection, and maintained by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. This is just as characteristic a truth for us as the one Jehovah was for a Jew. All this was now closed. "These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which Jehovah God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth." That is the point to do God's will. "Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. It would not be good for us always to be in this state of simple receiving. It is not the death of Christ with all its solemn, however blessed, issues. Many count it buried in Christ's grave, but it is not. A desire to obey God and to keep the law of God, consenting that it's good, that's the right way, that's the way I want to live; seeing the divine ideal, being attracted by the divine ideal and desiring, longing after it. When Peter and John came to the Samaritans, and found that they were John MacNeilThe Spirit-Filled Life, Afraid of Giants'And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain; 18. However the "strife" (Deuteronomy 1:12) of the people would prove to be their undoing. The people of Israel had nearly completed their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. This he had fully shown in the history. "Can you call Him Father?" These seven canons were next expanded by R. Ishmael (in the first century) into thirteen, by the analysis of one of them (the 5th) into six, and the addition of this sound exegetical rule, that where two Alfred EdersheimThe Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, The Blessing of Jacob Upon Judah. It seems just a parenthesis, and not a question of chronology.*. O. T. i. p. 235) ventures to set portions of this chapter in juxtaposition with two from elsewhere, in order to show that God's speaking to the inspired writer was simply his own mind and conscience enlightened from on high. The fact is that, no matter what might be the measure of carrying them out in the wilderness, God was setting forth by them the shadows of good things to come. The references to "the river Euphrates" (Deuteronomy 1:7) and "the stars of heaven for multitude" (Deuteronomy 1:10) hark back to Gods promises to Abraham. 7-9). And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God doth give us. The consequence is that, though all have their place, these distinctions may here seem small indeed. Thus then the circumstances of Moses, as well as of the people, were precisely those suited to impress the lesson of obedience. Such is the point here in the seventh chapter. We were bondmen, and are not. God had cared for them throughout the long and weary journey from Mount Sinai (Horeb), carrying them as a father carries his young son who has become too tired to walk. 5, 6; 1 Tim. cxliii. There is the peril of religion becoming a species of enjoyment. "Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you." maro itoje harrow house; cupid shuffle artist net worth; lakeside garden centre warminster menu Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. Read: Deut. It is Jehovah gathering the people round Himself. Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet." Unless I am very much mistaken,--the maps of Adricomus, Tirinius, and others, ought to be corrected, which have feigned to John LightfootFrom the Talmud and Hebraica, Kadesh. The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: "You have stayed at this mountain long enough. "Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned" "we have sinned against Jehovah: we will go up and fight." ( Romans 7:24 ). I`m blessed physiologically! They had had many a sight of their own hearts, and they had had ample experience of God's ways in patient and gracious government. The intercession of Moses prevailed so far for his brother and the people, that the one lived till near the end of the wanderings in the desert, and the others, instead of perishing as a whole at once, lived to take their journey from a land of wells (Beeroth) to Mosera where Aaron died at Mount Hor, and thence to Gudgodah, and to Jotbath, "a land of rivers of waters:" such was the patient goodness of God to both, as the long interval made the more marked.*. It will be observed that first of all in this chapter, it was not activity but subjection. The conscience feels that a certain act of confessing the sin is necessary, but perhaps there is hardly anything which more hardens the heart than the habit of confessing sin without feeling it. Ye have dwelt long enough, c. Exodus 19:1-2 and left it the twentieth of the second month of the second year, so it appears they had continued there nearly a whole year. deuteronomy 1:6 prayer points. Such is the reason why a Christian even now on earth passes into a new state of things altogether. In the tenth day of the first month of the forty-first year, they crossed Jordan into the Promised Land after mourning the death of Moses for thirty days. Clearly it traces the discipline of Jehovah by the way. Now the life of the spirit begins with the death of the old nature, the old man, which is the position that we must take by faith. Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as Jehovah God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. To hear someone, you know, making all these accusations against God, horrible things, it's tragic. In Deuteronomy 10:1-22 we find the provision of Jehovah's goodness is stated in a very striking way. 2. Moses began his recollections of the journey by reminding the people that their coming possession of Canaan was solely because of Gods grace, not because of any virtue in them (1:1-8).Only through Gods mercy had they grown into a strong and contented people who enjoyed the blessing (rare among ancient races) of just, impartial and humanitarian government (9-18). Is this what you read? Shake it Up De 1:6 "The LORD our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, 'You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Moses began his recital of Israels history at Horeb (Sinai) because this is where Yahweh adopted the nation by making the Mosaic Covenant with her. The heritage of the descendants of Jacob shall be restored unto thee!" After the praise and worship session, go with your prophetic sword into battle using these 13 prayer points for DAY 6. They hesitated and by staying outside of the land, they were not obeying God's instructions. 5-8; 1 Cor. We may rejoice in the God that has so dealt with us, but is it becoming that Christ's death should be a call to transports? 12). India, China, Africa, etc., - he knows them all, yet he says, "Go in and possess.". He gave them this rehearsal and exhortation purely by divine direction; God appointed him to leave this legacy to the church. Whereas, even in God's dealings with a nation after the flesh (and such is the truth as to Israel here), there was an admirable check on man and witness of divine government, though the law made nothing perfect. For so long I tried to deliver myself, ended in failure. Thus: God is that one spiritual and infinitely perfect essence, whose being is of himself eternally (Deut. (Gen. Xlix. For instance, a man knows perfectly well that he has no right to steal. In style similar to that of ancient treaty documents, Deuteronomy opens by recounting all that Yahweh, Israel's covenant God, has done for his people. There was a danger that Israel's stay at the mount might last too long. There are many, many Christians who have been long enough, and far too long, in the mount, and it would be welt for themselves if they could hear this voice summoning them to go forward. Such is the principle: no sparing friends, relatives, "wife of thy bosom," could be tolerated. 226-228.) This is a universal and abiding principle. However, this was not the promised Land. These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. O. T. i. pp. And then he really started getting on God's case. Jehovah gave them no such license as the right to slay, burn, or plunder others as they liked. (Deuteronomy 1:11 NKJV). In all the three occasions the Lord Jesus draws His answers from the book of Deuteronomy. Such is the fertile topic which we find throughout the book. Thus we know for certain that the most fundamental requirement of all, the Levitical ritual, was not practised; and if they did not prove faithful in that which was most urgent as well as least difficult in point of means for executing it, we can hardly suppose that they carried out their obedience in what was surrounded with immense if not insuperable obstacles. "On comparing the decalogue as recorded inExodus 20:2-17; Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21, it will be observed, "1. Religion, divorced from active employment, must soon lose its robustness, and degenerate into a sickly religiosity. The law of the sabbath is not given to Christians. And listen to the horrible things they were saying about God. We are to observe the statutes and to do them. 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." Or, if the cognate clause used in both books, 'that God wrote them on two tables of stone,' be not literally pressed in one case, there is no necessity for doing so in the other. On this we need not particularly dwell, but they are reminded of their own place. In the harvest there is the gathering in of the good and the extinction of the evil; but the vintage knows nothing but vengeance from God. The broader character of the book, with its aim of bringing forward the people, and consequently the tribal divisions, rather than particular families, fully accounts for this. It is the design of the book which governs the description in each case. Besides, if these high places had been dedicated to heathen gods, Israel must not dare to consecrate them to the true God. 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. They were "a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but Jehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead." What God was displaying by them has now found its meaning, since Christ was revealed and the mighty work of redemption effected. I`m blessed relationally, interpersonally, I am BLESSED, I am BLESSED! Know ye not that the old man was crucified with Christ? The truth is that the solemn circumstances appear to recall to the mind of Moses the awful lapse of Israel when "they made the calf which Aaron made," and Levi, of odd perfidious to the stranger for a sister's sake, consecrated themselves to Jehovah in the blood of their idolatrous brethren; and Moses hews at Jehovah's command tables of stone like the first, and put them, written as before, in the ark which he had made. . Besides, "Thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes." He was a descendant of Aaron, and belonged to one of the wealthiest and most influential families among the Jewish merchant-princes of Egypt. will be blessed. (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb to Kadeshbarnea.) "The importance of history has two focal points: (a) there is the covenant tradition of promise, from Abraham to Moses; (b) there is the experience of God in history working out in deed the content of the promise. 17; 1 Kings, "What is the mountainous country of Judea? 1. May I not venture to think that other considerations entered, and that His citation of Deuteronomy only is in no way meant to disparage fitting words found elsewhere? Then in Deuteronomy 13:1-18 there is a similar line, all these early injunctions being what we may call religious statutes. For instance, it is not everybody that is called to serve God in a public way; nor is everyone called to take a particular step or course which might involve him in trouble and persecution. Therefore it was that, when God told them to go up, they refused and suffered the consequence of their disobedience. [Note: C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch, Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament: Pentateuch, 3:284.] Nothing of the sort. It extends to Deuteronomy 4:40; and is divided from the second discourse by the Deu 1:4 :41-49. Help me to abide in Christ, knowing that His grace is sufficient for every challenge in life. It is well for persons that they are not to stay long under the law, and the terrors of it, but are directed to Mount Zion; Hebrews 12:18. 12-18; ^C Luke XIX. 8). "Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. Rekam, and that Double. Jehovah went along with them; and of course the faithful turned back just as much as the unfaithful. 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." And we're looking at the obstacles rather than the power of God to deliver us from those obstacles. There is a third feast, that of tabernacles. But where is the savage even who does not know the wrongness of stealing? A summary of the address is given in the chapter-headings usually found in English Bibles. What God had done in the past, he could continue to do in the future. Of course it is, God went before you and prepared you that place and then led you to it so that they could say, "All the way my savior leads me. Every motive of gratitude and compassion should urge us to it. Did He warrant Israel to coerce Sihon with threats of vengeance or win by cajolery? We can all understand an orderly arrangement where there are types all arranged in a consecutive manner; but here in these moral exhortations it is, though in another way, just as sensible. Satan took advantage of the scripture that said that He should not dash His foot against a stone. 6.The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb. For Egypt, the area of bondage, slavery, hardship, is the type of the life of the world, in the world, slaves to our flesh to Satan; and so it is typical of our old life. Redemption accomplished; Christ the head of the church above; the Holy Ghost sent down here below; and all this borne witness to in the worship and in the ways of Christians and the church. Not that this made the smallest cloud between Master and servant. The grand duty and safeguard is evermore to heed His word, and the consulting Him not only for their own path but in respect to others. Here we see that God had a most deliberate choice in the smallest matters as well as in the greatest; but He begins with what most nearly touches His presence. And you came near to me Moses said, and you said, Let's send spies into the land, in order that they might find out which cities we'll be facing and the directions by which we should go into the land ( Deuteronomy 1:21-22 ). Now we find what would test their obedience. Was there any reason in this why the children of Israel should have wars with them now? This is clearly shown. 39; vi. 6 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Heavenly Father, thank You for this important lesson. Hence, while he fails not to show that Jehovah was with himself, and how Joshua was to displace him, he does not hesitate to set before all the story of his own shame, so to speak. Consequently, when Christianity began, the first day of the week was made the distinguishing mark, the Lord's-day, and not the sabbath. "Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of Egypt." Monday, April 4, a.d. We hear of sin and trespass-offerings, peace and burnt-offerings, meat-offerings and drink-offerings, not to speak of the daily lambs and occasional victims. Some wonder why it should be joined with the other commandments; but the sabbath is so much the more important here, because it is not strictly a moral command. There must be times of getting, of learning, of consulting for one's own edification, else it will go hard with us in the work and battle of life. God's solution is death to the flesh, crucified with Christ. Psalm 138:1-2. St. Paul gives this interpretation in Romans 4:13. Surely this again makes it too plain to call for many words of ours to demonstrate what Moses, or rather God Himself, has in view in all these chapters. When Peter and John came to the Samaritans, and found that they were, 'And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain; 18. It is a call to obedience. In the delight of His people He delights. [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. The quotation is from Dennis Baly, The Geography of the Bible.]. God always holds to His own principles, and He teaches us to respect them in others. If the rigidly literal meaning of the phrase 'God spake these words' is not adhered to in the case of the one record, it need not in the case of the other. He cites from none other. The Blessedness and Glory of the Promised Land, The Impartiality of God to be Reflected in the Judges of His People, Moses' speech in the end of the fortieth year, briefly rehearsing the history of God's sending them from Horeb. "Virtually all of Palestine and Syria are included in these terms [in Deuteronomy 1:7], an area larger than Israel ever possessed in fact, even during the reigns of David and Solomon." 7. The place were they were now encamped was in the plain, in the land of Moab (Deuteronomy 1:1; Deuteronomy 1:5), where they were just ready to enter Canaan, and engage in a war with the Canaanites. Jehovah your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.) In Deuteronomy 15:1-23 we find a similar principle as to the year of release. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to give your father ( Deuteronomy 1:6-8 ). The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain, Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament. That in Deuteronomy has an amplification corresponding to the style of the book. Mark the very fact here set before us: not a single man of the congregation of Jehovah that left Egypt passed into the holy land save two individuals, who identified themselves by faith from the very first with the glory of Jehovah. viii. It is evident that they are somehow or another connected with God, and touch matters of religion, as men would say. Plainly then the savage knows quite well that it is unjustifiable to steal. Then in Deuteronomy 2:1-37 the law-giver reminds them how they took their weary journey. This he tried to conceal from One, all whose ways were obedience, venturing to insinuate what a noble demonstration of His Messiahship it would be. I'm tempted to smack you in the mouth talking about God that way. It is obedience. It reminds them of his gracious acts on their behalf and calls from them a fitting response of covenant loyalty. Thus, for the renewal of the covenant described in Deuteronomy, the prologue recalls not only the covenants history, but also the ability of the Lord of the covenant to fulfill his promise. 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. The Mosaic Covenant is central in Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy 31:1 "And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel." "Moses went and spake": Though some interpreters view this verse as the conclusion to the foregoing address in (chapters 29-30), it is better to see these words as an introduction to the words of Moses which follow, based upon the general pattern of Deuteronomy. Jehovah their God did not make Himself visible to them by a similitude. "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." I can't stand that. Now comes another promise: "Behold," says He, "I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite." I do not regard this as evincing the spirit of obedience, but rather a spice of self-confidence. But then Moses reminds them how that they got together and said, "Oh, we've sinned against God. Tempting God was to doubt Him, as many, all of us, are apt to do. They came to a place, they said, "Awe my, this looks like a good place to pitch our tents". God wanted to free them from the horrible bondage of Egypt, yet now they are accusing God of hating them.You remember the case of Job, it said in all of these things, that is the loss of his family and his wealth and all, he did not curse God neither did he charge God foolishly.
