Deuteronomy 1:35

_AND THE LORD HEARD THE VOICE OF YOUR WORDS, AND WAS WROTH, AND SWARE, SAYING,_ The Lord ... was wroth. In consequence of this aggravated offence-unbelief followed by open rebellion-the Israelites were doomed, in the righteous judgment of God, to a life of wandering in that dreary wilderness, until the whole adult generation had disappeared by death. The only exceptions mentioned are Caleb, and Joshua, who was to be Moses' successor....

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

SURELY THERE SHALL NOT ONE OF THESE MEN OF THIS EVIL GENERATION SEE THE GOOD LAND,.... The land of Canaan; not only not one of the spies that brought the ill report of that land, but of that body of people that gave credit to it, and murmured upon it: WHICH I SWARE TO GIVE UNTO YOUR FATHERS; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; see Deuteronomy 1:8....

_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

FIRST DISCOURSE (DEUTERONOMY 1:14 TO DEUTERONOMY 4:43) The long sojourn in the wilderness is now drawing to a close.
