SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:16
Circuncidad, pues, el prepucio de vuestro corazón, y no endurezcáis más vuestra cerviz.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:16
Verse 16. Circumcise-the foreskin of your heart] A plain proof from God himself that this precept pointed out spiritual things, and that it was not the cutting away a part of the flesh that was the object of the Divine commandment, but the purification of the soul, without which all forms and ceremonies are of no avail. Loving God with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength, the heart being circumcised to enable them to do it, was, from the beginning, the end, design, and fulfillment of the whole law.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart , etc.] Content not yourselves with, nor put your confidence in outward circumcision of the flesh, but be concerned for the circumcision of the heart; for removing from that whatever is disagreeable to the Lord, even all carnality, sensuality, hypocrisy, and superfluity of naughtiness, and for having that put there which is well pleasing in his sight; and which though it is the work of God, and he only can do it and has promised it, yet such an exhortation is made to bring men to a sense of their need of it, and of the importance of it, and to show how agreeable it is to the Lord, and so to stir them up to seek unto him for it; (see Deuteronomy 30:6) and be no more stiffnecked ; froward, obstinate, and disobedient, as they had been hitherto; ( Deuteronomy 9:6,13).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-22 - We are here taught our duty to God in our principles and our practices We must fear the Lord our God. We must love him, and delight i communion with him. We must walk in the ways in which he has appointe us to walk. We must serve him with all our heart and soul. What we d in his service we must do cheerfully, and with good will. We must kee his commandments. There is true honour and pleasure in obedience. We must give honour to God; and to him we must cleave, as one we love an delight in, trust in, and from whom we have great expectations. We ar here taught our duty to our neighbour. God's common gifts to mankin oblige us to honour all men. And those who have themselves been in distress, and have found mercy with God, should be ready to sho kindness to those who are in the like distress. We are here taught ou duty to ourselves. Circumcise your hearts. Cast away all corrup affections and inclinations, which hinder you from fearing and lovin God. By nature we do not love God. This is original sin, the sourc whence our wickedness proceeds; and the carnal mind is enmity agains God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be; s then they that are in the flesh cannot please God, Ro 8:5-9. Let us without delay or reserve, come and cleave to our reconciled God in Jesus Christ, that we may love, serve, and obey him acceptably, and be daily changed into his image, from glory to glory, by the Spirit of the Lord. Consider the greatness and glory of God; and his goodness an grace; these persuade us to our duty. Blessed Spirit! Oh for the purifying, persevering, and renewing influences, that being called ou of the state of strangers, such as our fathers were, we may be foun among the number of the children of God, and that our lot may be amon the saints __________________________________________________________________
