TSK - DEUTERONOMY 9

  1  Moses dissuades them from the opinion of their own
    righteousness, by rehearsing their several rebellions.


VERSE 1
- to pass.
   * De 3:18; 11:31; 27:2 Jos 1:11; 3:6,14,16; 4:5,19
- this day.
  The Hebrew {hyyom,} "this day," frequently denotes, as here,
  this time.  They had come, 38 years before this, nearly to the
  verge of the promised land, but were not permitted, because of
  their unbelief and rebellion, at that day or time, to enter;
  but this time they shall certainly pass over.  This was spoken
  in the eleventh month of the fortieth year of their
  journeying; and it was on the first month of the following
  year they passed over:  and during this interval Moses died.

- nations.  See on ch.
   * De 4:38; 7:1; 11:23
- cities.
   * De 1:28 Nu 13:22,28-33


VERSE 2 
 - great.  See on ch.
   * De 2:11,12,21
- Who can stand.
   * De 7:24 Ex 9:11 Job 11:10 Da 8:4; 11:16 Na 1:6


VERSE 3 
 - Understand.
   * :6 Mt 15:10 Mr 7:14 Eph 5:17
- goeth over.
   * De 1:30; 20:4; 31:3-6 Jos 3:11,14 Mic 2:13 Re 19:11-16
- a consuming fire.
   * De 4:24 Isa 27:4; 30:27,30,33; 33:14 Na 1:5,6 2Th 1:8 Heb 12:29
- he shall.
   * De 7:1,2,16,23,24 Ex 23:29-31 Isa 41:10-16 Ro 8:31


VERSE 4 
 - Speak not.
   * :5; 7:7,8; 8:17 Eze 36:22,32 Ro 11:6,20 1Co 4:4,7 Eph 2:4,5
   * 2Ti 1:9 Tit 3:3-5
- for the wickedness.
   * De 12:31; 18:12 Ge 15:16 Le 18:24,25


VERSE 5 
 - Not for.
  Though the Canaanites were expelled for their wickedness, it
  does not follow, that the Israelites were established in their
  room on account of any distinguished virtue, or because they
  deserved it.  On many occasions, it may be seen in the history
  of the world, that God punishes the wicked by the
  instrumentality of other men, who are as wicked as themselves.
  Not the Israelites' righteousness, but the wickedness of the
  inhabitants, and the promise of God to their fathers, was the
  cause of their obtaining Canaan.

   * Tit 3:5
- that he may.
   * Ge 12:7; 13:15; 15:7; 17:8; 26:4; 28:13 Ex 32:13 Eze 20:14
   * Mic 7:20 Lu 1:54,55 Ac 3:25; 13:32,33 Ro 11:28; 15:8


VERSE 6 
 - Understand.  See on ver.
   * :3,4 Eze 20:44
- giveth thee.
  Moses repeats this a third time, that, if it were possible, he
  might root out of the Israelites the opinion of their own
  deserts, before God rooted out the Canaanites from their
  country.

- a stiff-necked.
   * :13; 10:16; 31:27 Ex 32:9; 33:3; 34:9 2Ch 30:8; 36:13 Ps 78:8
   * Isa 48:3,4 Eze 2:4 Zec 7:11,12 Ac 7:51 Ro 5:20,21


VERSE 7 
 - Remember.
  In order to destroy the opinion which the Israelites had of
  their own righteousness, it was necessary to call to mind some
  of their most notorious provocations and rebellions, which
  Moses exhorts them to preserve in their mind, as a means to
  keep them humble.

   * De 8:2 Eze 16:61-63; 20:43; 36:31 1Co 15:9 Eph 2:11 1Ti 1:13-15
- from the day.
   * De 31:27; 32:5,6 Ex 14:11; 16:2; 17:2 Nu 11:4; 14:1-10; 16:1-35
   * Nu 20:2-5; 21:5; 25:2 Ne 9:16-18 Ps 78:8-72; 95:8-11


VERSE 8 
 - Also in Horeb.
  Or rather, "Even at Horeb," for there is a peculiar emphasis
  here, even there where they had lately received the law,
  attended with the most astonishing appearances and
  circumstances.

   * Ex 32:16 Ps 106:19-22


VERSE 9 
 - I was.
   * Ex 24:12,15,18
- the tables.
   * :15 Ex 31:18; 34:28 Jer 31:31,32 Ga 4:24
- then I.
   * Ex 24:18; 34:28 1Ki 19:8 Mt 4:2
- I neither.
   * :18 1Ki 13:8,9 2Ki 6:22


VERSE 10 
 - the Lord.
   * Ex 31:18
- written with.
   * De 10:4 Mt 12:28 Lu 11:20 2Co 3:3 Heb 8:10
- all the words.
   * De 4:10-15; 5:6-21; 18:16 Ex 19:17-19; 20:1-18


VERSE 11 
 - the tables of the covenant.  See on ver.
   * :9 Nu 10:33 Heb 8:6-10; 9:4


VERSE 12 
 - Arise.  See on
   * Ex 32:7,8
- corrupted.
   * De 4:16; 31:29; 32:5 Ge 6:11,12 Jude 1:10
- are quickly.
   * :16 Jud 2:17 Ps 78:57 Ho 6:4 Ga 1:6


VERSE 13 
 - I have.
   * Ge 11:5; 18:21 Ex 32:9,10 Ps 50:7 Jer 7:11; 13:27 Ho 6:10
   * Mal 3:5
- stiffnecked.  See on ver.
   * :6; 10:16; 31:27 2Ki 17:14


VERSE 14 
 - Let me.
   * Ex 32:10-13 Isa 62:6,7 Jer 14:11; 15:1 Lu 11:7-10; 18:1-8
   * Ac 7:51
- blot.
   * De 29:20 Ex 32:32,33 Ps 9:5; 109:13 Pr 10:7 Re 3:5
- and I will.
   * Nu 14:11,12


VERSE 15 
 - I turned.
   * Ex 32:14,15-35
- the mount.
   * De 4:11; 5:23 Ex 9:23; 19:18 Heb 12:18


VERSE 16 
 - I looked.
   * Ex 32:19 Ac 7:40,41


VERSE 17 
 - cast them.
  Moses might have done this through distress and anguish of
  spirit, on beholding their abominable idolatry and dissolute
  conduct; or probably he did it emblematically, and perhaps by
  the direction of God; intimating thereby, that as by this act
  of his the tables were broken in pieces, on which the Law of
  God was written, so they, by their present conduct, had made a
  breach in the covenant, and broken the laws of their Maker and
  Sovereign.

   * :17


VERSE 18 
 - I fell down.
  The transgressions of the people rendered this second forty
  days' fasting necessary to Moses.  Their pardon was indeed in
  some sense obtained before he ascended the mount; yet probably
  much of the time which he spent there was employed in
  supplication:  and when he descended the second time, with the
  tables of the law in his hands, the pardon was, as it were,
  ratified and sealed.

- See on ver.
   * :9 Ex 32:10-14; 34:28 2Sa 12:16 Ps 106:23


VERSE 19 
 - For I.
   * :8 Ex 32:10,11 Ne 1:2-7 Lu 12:4,5
- But the.
   * De 10:10 Ex 32:14; 33:17 Ps 99:6; 106:23 Am 7:2,3,5,6 Jas 16 5:16,17

VERSE 20
    * Ex 32:2-5,21,35 Heb 7:26-28


VERSE 21 
 - I took.  See on
   * Ex 32:20 Isa 2:18-21; 30:22; 31:7 Ho 8:11
- the brook.
  This was the stream which flowed from the rock that Moses
  smote with his rod, (Ex 17:6,) and to which the Psalmist
  alludes in Ps 78:16-20; 41 105:41.  Philo relates, that upon
  Moses' striking the rock, the water poured out like a torrent,
  affording not only a sufficient quantity for allaying their
  present thirst, but to fill their water vessels, to carry with
  them on their journey.


VERSE 22 
 - Taberah.
   * Nu 11:1-5
- Massah.

   * Ex 32:11-13; 34:9 Nu 14:13-19 Ps 99:6; 106:23 Jer 14:21
- thine inheritance.
   * 1Ki 8:51
- which thou hast redeemed.
   * :29; 32:9 Ps 74:1,2 Isa 63:19
- which thou hast brought forth.
   * De 7:8; 13:5; 15:15; 21:8; 26:7,8 Ex 15:13 2Sa 7:23 Ne 1:10

VERSE 29 
 - Yet they.

- which thou.  See on ver.
