TSK - DEUTERONOMY 4

  1  An exhortation to obedience.
41  Moses appoints the three cities of refuge on that side of
    Jordan.
44  Recapitulation.


VERSE 1
- unto the statutes.
  Statutes, every thing that concerned morals and the rites and
  ceremonies of religion; judgments, all matters of civil right
  and wrong.

 - what the.

- for all the men.
  It appears from this appeal, that the pestilence, as well as
  the sword of the civil officers, singled out the guilty persons
  and spared the rest.  (Ps 91:6-8).  The legislator, in order
  to deter the Jews from idolatry, alludes to this fact, but he
  notices no circumstance but one, which, though in the original
  narrative was not stated, was infinitely the most important to
  advert to on this occasion; but which no persons, but
  spectators of the fact, and perfectly acquainted with every
  individual concerned in it, could possibly feel the truth of.

   * Heb 3:5
  The people had been often ready to conclude that Moses taught
  them by his own authority; but at the close of his life he
  solemnly assured them that he had instructed them exactly as
  the Lord had commanded him, neither more, nor less, nor
  otherwise.  This is a most express declaration that he was
  divinely inspired, and utterly incompatible with his integrity
  of character, if he was not.  Scott.

   * :23 Isa 40:18 Joh 4:24 Ac 17:29; 20:4,5 1Ti 1:17
   In these verses there is an evident allusion to the idolatrous
  worship in Egypt.  Among the Egyptians, almost everything in
  nature was the object of their idolatry; among beasts were
  oxen, heifers, sheep, goats, lions, dogs, monkeys, and cats;
  among birds, the ibis, crane, and hawk; among reptiles, the
  crocodile, serpents, frogs, flies, and beetles; all the fish
  of the Nile, and the Nile itself; besides the sun, moon,
  planets, stars, fire, light, air, darkness, and night.  These
  are all included in the very circumstantial prohibition in the
  text, and very forcibly in the general terms of Ex 20:4, the
  reason of which prohibition becomes self-evident, when the
  various objects of Egyptian idolatry are considered.

VERSE 26 
 - I call heaven.
  A most solemn method of adjuration, in use among all the
  nations in the world; God and man being called upon to bear
  testimony to the truth of what was spoken, that if there was
  any flaw or insincerity it might be detected, and if any
  crime, it might not go unpunished.  Such appeals to God shew
  at once the origin and use of oaths.

  Bezer is the same as Bozra, formerly a royal city of Edom.
  See Note on Ge 36:33.

   * Jos 20:8
- Ramoth.
  Ramoth was a celebrated city in the mountains of Gilead,
  placed by Eusebius fifteen miles east from Philadelphia or
  Ammon, and by Jerome in the neighborhood of Jabbok, and
  consequently north of Philadelphia.

   * Jos 21:38 1Ki 4:13; 22:3,4 1Ch 6:80
- Golan.
  This city gave name to the district of Gaulonitis, now called
  Djolan, which comprises the plain to south of Djedour or
  Iturea, and to the west of Haouran:  its southern frontier is
  the Nahar Aweired, by which it is separated from the district
  of Erbad, and the Sheriat el Mandhour, which separates it from
  the district of El Kefarat:  on the west it is limited by the
  territory of Feik, and on the north-west by Djebel Heish, or
  mount Hermon.

   * Jos 21:27 1Ch 6:71
   This is evidently an introduction to the discourse of the
  subsequent chapters.  Moses having practically improved some
  particulars in the history of Israel, proceeded to repeat and
  enforce the laws which he had delivered before, with additions
  and explanations, beginning with the ten commandments.

   * De 1:5; 3:29 Nu 32:19
- over.
   * De 3:29
- Beth-peor.
  Beth-peor was a city which was situated, according to
  Eusebius, opposite Jericho, and six miles above Livias.  As
  the name signifies "the house of Peor," it is probable that
  there was a temple to Peor, situated in this place, full in
  view of the people, while Moses was pressing upon them the
  worship of Jehovah alone; and perhaps the very temple where so
  many had sinned to their own destruction.
