Deuteronomy 2:37

24-37 God tried his people, by forbidding them to meddle with the rich countries of Moab and Ammon. He gives them possession of the country of the Amorites. If we keep from what God forbids, we shall not lose by our obedience. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; and he gives it to whom he pleases; but when there is no express direction, none can plead his grant for such proceedings. Though God assured the Israelites that the land should be their own, yet they must contend with the enemy. What God gives we must endeavour to get. What a new world did Israel now come into! Much more joyful will the change be, which holy souls will experience, when they remove out of the wilderness of this world to the better country, that is, the heavenly, to the city that has foundations. Let us, by reflecting upon God's dealings with his people Israel, be led to meditate upon our years spent...

Verse Deuteronomy 2:37. _ONLY UNTO THE LAND OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON THOU_ _CAMEST NOT_] God gave them their commission; and those only were to be cut off, the cup of whose iniquity was full. Though the Moabites and Ammonites were thus spared, they requited good with evil, for they fought against the Israelites, and cast them out of their possessions, Judges 11:4; 2 Chronicles 20:1, c., and committed the most shocking cruelties see Amos 1:13. Hence God enacted a law, that none of these people should enter into the congregation of the Lord even to their tenth generation: see...

EXPOSITION DEUTERONOMY 2:1 THE NEW BEGINNING AND REVIEW OF THE JOURNEYINGS OF ISRAEL FROM KADESH TO THE RIVER ARNON, THE FRONTIER OF THE AMORITES. At this point the language of address is exchanged for that of narrative. The change of subject from "ye abode" to "we turned," became necessary when Moses passed from exhorting and warning the people to narrating what happened after they resumed their journeyings; and gives no support to the notion of some recent German critics, that Moses left Ka

ONLY UNTO THE LAND OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON THOU CAMEST NOT,.... Which was then in their possession; otherwise what Sihon had took away from them, that the children of Israel came into and enjoyed, as before observed, Deuteronomy 2:19 NOR UNTO ANY PLACE OF THE RIVER JABBOK; any town or city situated on this river, which was the border of the children of Ammon, Deuteronomy 3:16, Genesis 32:22, NOR UNTO THE CITIES IN THE MOUNTAINS; much less did they penetrate into the innermost parts of their country, the mountainous part thereof, and the cities there: NOR UNTO WHATSOEVER THE LORD OUR GOD FORBAD US: whether in Edom, Moab, or Ammon, particu

_3. AFTER THE FORTY YEARS AND FROM CONFLICT TO CONQUEST_ CHAPTER 2 _ 1. From Kadesh to the land of the Amorites (Deuteronomy 2:1)_ 2. The command to possess (Deuteronomy 2:24) 3. The conquest of Sihon (Deuteronomy 2:26) The many days in the first verse are the thirty-eight years. We must notice the little word “we.” “We turned and took our journey into the wilderness.” Moses, Aaron, his sons, Joshua, Caleb and the faithful Levites turned back with the unfaithful, murmuring Israelites. Moses and all who had not shared in the unbelief of the people submitted to the sovereign will of the Lord. How strange it would have been if they had complained in sharing in

_VER._ 37. _ONLY UNTO THE LAND OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON THOU CAMEST NOT_— That is, into no part of the country which was then in their possession. See ver. 19. _The river Jabbok_ was the border of the children of Ammon. Dr. Beaumont observes, that though the Moabites and Ammonites were thus spared by Israel, yet we read that they ill rewarded them afterwards, when they waged war against them to wrest them out of their possession: Judges 11:4; Judges 11:40. 2 Chronicles 1:10 compare with Amos 1:13 and Jeremiah 49:1 for which the Lord pla

FIRST DISCOURSE (DEUTERONOMY 1:14 TO DEUTERONOMY 4:43) The long sojourn in the wilderness is now drawing to a close. The Israelites are encamped in the Plains of Moab within sight of the Promised Land. Moses, feeling that his death is approaching, delivers his final charges to the people. In the first, he reviews briefly the history of Israel from Mt. Sinai to the Jordan, dwelling on the goodness of God, and making it the basis of an earnest appeal to the people to remember all that He has done for them, and to keep His commandments. REVIEW OF THE JOURNEY (CONTINUED) 1. The Red sea] i.e. the Gulf of Akaba. On Mt. Seir see Numbers 20:22....
