Deuteronomy 1:46

_SO YE ABODE IN KADESH MANY DAYS, ACCORDING UNTO THE DAYS THAT YE ABODE THERE._ So ye abode in Kadesh many days. That place had been the site of their encampment during the absence of the spies, which lasted 40 days; and it is supposed from this verse that they prolonged their stay there after their defeat for a similar period....

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...

Verse Deuteronomy 1:46. _ACCORDING UNTO THE DAYS THAT YE ABODE THERE._] They had been a long time at this place, see Numbers 13:27; Numbers 20:1; Numbers 20:14; Numbers 20:21. And some think that the words mean, "Ye abode as long at Kadesh, when you came to it the second time, as ye did at the first." Or, according to others, "While ye were in that part of the desert, ye encamped at Kadesh." 1. As one grand object of the law of God was to instruct the people in those things which were calculated to _promote_ their...

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

SO YE ABODE IN KADESH MANY DAYS,.... Yea, some years, as some think: ACCORDING TO THE DAYS THAT YE ABODE THERE; that is, according to Jarchi, as they did in the rest of the journeys or stations; so that as they were thirty eight years in all at several places, they were nineteen years in Kadesh; the same is affirmed in the Jewish chronology w. Maimonides says x they were eighteen years in one place, and it is very probable he means this; but Aben Ezra interprets it otherwise, and takes the sense to be, that they abode as many days here after their return as they did while the land was searching, which were forty days, Numbers 13:25, but without fixing any determinate time, the meaning may only be, that as they had been many days here before this disaster, so they continued many days after in the same place before they marched onward into the wilderness again....

_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

DEUTERONOMY 1:19. GREAT AND TERRIBLE WILDERNESS (Deuteronomy 8:15); _i.e._ the desert of et-Tih between the peninsula of Sinai and S. Palestine. AS. COMMANDED US: _cf._ Deuteronomy 1:7. Deuteronomy 1:24. valley of Eshcol: Numbers 13:23 *. Deuteronomy 1:28. sons of the Anakim: Heb. necked, _i.e._ long-necked people. The phrase means simply tall, giant-like folk. Anak is not a proper name (see...

_VER._ 46. _IN KADESH—ACCORDING UNTO THE DAYS THAT YE ABODE THERE_— This should rather be _at_ or _near Kadesh,_ which gave name to that part of the desart southward of Kadesh. By the phrase _according unto the days that ye abode there,_ some understand to mean, _as long as ye abode at mount Sinai, i.e._ nearly a whole year. But the most simple explication is, that they stayed here as long after this as they had done before it, which was at least forty days, the time spent by the spies in searching the land. Houbigant renders it, _many days, even so many as ye had passed there before._ Calmet, _ye abode in Kadesh all the time ye were in that part of the desart._ Without fixing the number of the days, says Mr. Chais, we may render it, _as ye abode in Kadesh some time before this rebellion, so ye continued there some time after._ We are instructed by St. Paul what use to make of the histor...
