Deuteronomy 1:21

_AND WHEN WE DEPARTED FROM HOREB, WE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT GREAT AND TERRIBLE WILDERNESS, WHICH YE SAW BY THE WAY OF THE MOUNTAIN OF THE AMORITES, AS THE LORD OUR GOD COMMANDED US; AND WE CAME TO KADESH-BARNEA._ We went through all that great and terrible wilderness - of Paran, which included the desert and mountainous space lying between the wilderness of Shur westward, or toward Egypt, and mount Seir, or the land of Edom, eastward; between the land of Canaan northwards, and the Red Sea southward; and thus it appears to have comprehended really the wilderness of Sin and Sinai (Fisk). It was not the whole desert, but only a part of it; because it is observable that it did not commence at Horeb, but only after the Israelites had departed from Horeb. The reference here is to that sterile and inhospitable region east of the Seir mountain range, on the border of which, where it blends with...

19-46 Moses reminds the Israelites of their march from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, through that great and terrible wilderness. He shows how near they were to a happy settlement in Canaan. It will aggravate the eternal ruin of hypocrites, that they were not far from the kingdom of God. As if it were not enough that they were sure of their God before them, they would send men before them. Never any looked into the Holy Land, but they must own it to be a good land. And was there any cause to distrust this God? An unbelieving heart was at the bottom of all this. All disobedience to God's laws, and distrust of his power and goodness, flow from disbelief of his word, as all true obedience springs from faith. It is profitable for us to divide our past lives into distinct periods; to give thanks to God for the mercies we have received in each, to confess and seek the forgiveness of all the sins we...

EXPOSITION DEUTERONOMY 1:19-5 Here Moses passes from the judges to the people at large; from charging officials to judge righteously, to reminding the people that they also had received from him commandments which they had to obey. The "things" referred to are either the injunctions specified in Exodus 21:1; etc; or simply the instructions mentioned in the preceding verses. God had called the Israelites out of Egypt that they should go up at once to Canaan, and he had by Moses done all that was needed for this. But they had been rebellious, and had opposed God's commands, the consequence of which was that they had been made to experience various trials, especially to wander nearly forty years in the wilderness, so that of those who came out of Egypt only two we

BEHOLD, THE LORD THY GOD HATH SET THE LAND BEFORE THEE,.... The land of Canaan, on the borders of which they then were; Deuteronomy 1:8, GO UP; the mountain, by that way of it which was the way the spies went, and up to which some of the Israelites presumed to go when forbidden, they not complying with the call of God: AND POSSESS IT, AS THE LORD GOD OF THY FATHERS HATH SAID UNTO THEE; as in Deuteronomy 1:8, FEAR NOT, NEITHER BE DISCOURAGED; though the people of the land were numerous and strong, and their cities large and walled....

_2. FROM HOREB TO KADESH_ _ 1. The command to go in and to possess the land (Deuteronomy 1:6)_ 2. The appointment of judges reviewed (Deuteronomy 1:9) 3. The failure to possess the land (Deuteronomy 1:19) 4. The judgment of God (Deuteronomy 1:34) In the beginning of our annotations we must guard once more against the misleading conception, that the book of Deuteronomy is nothing but a rehearsal of previous history. On account of this wrong estimate, the book has not received the close study it deserves and God's people have missed the blessing, which results from such

DISCOURSE: 186 VICTORY ASSURED TO THE TRUE ISRAEL Deuteronomy 1:21._ Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, and possess it, as the Lord thy God hath said unto thee: fear not, neither be discouraged_. THE journeyings of the Israelites in the wilderness afford an inexhaustible fund of instruction to us. The history of their deliverance from Egypt, their trials and supports, and their final entrance into the land of Canaan, so exactly corresponds with the experience of believers in their journey heaven-ward, that we are never at a loss for an illustration of that which is invisible, from that which actually took place amongst God’s ancient people. The Israelites, after one year spent in the wilderness, were now arrived on the very confines of Canaan: and the exhortation which I have now read to you, was part of the address of Moses to them, e

3. Two FAILURES AT KADESH-BARNEA (Deuteronomy 1:19-46) a. BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF (Deuteronomy 1:19-40) Deuteronomy 1:19 And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea, 20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill-country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth unto us. 21 Behold Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed. 22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us
