Deuteronomy 29:14

_THAT THOU SHOULDEST ENTER INTO COVENANT WITH THE LORD THY GOD, AND INTO HIS OATH, WHICH THE LORD THY GOD MAKETH WITH THEE THIS DAY:_ No JFB commentary on these verses....

10-21 The national covenant made with Israel, not only typified the covenant of grace made with true believers, but also represented the outward dispensation of the gospel. Those who have been enabled to consent to the Lord's new covenant of mercy and grace in Jesus Christ, and to give up themselves to be his people, should embrace every opportunity of renewing their open profession of relation to him, and their obligation to him, as the God of salvation, walking according thereto. The sinner is described as one whose heart turns away from his God; there the mischief begins, in the evil heart of unbelief, which inclines men to depart from the living God to dead idols. Even to this sin men are now tempted, when drawn aside by their own lusts and fancies. Such men are roots that bear gall and wormwood. They are weeds which, if let alone, overspread the whole field. Satan may for a time di...

EXPOSITION RENEWAL OF THE COVENANT IN THE PLAINS OF MOAB. (Deuteronomy 29-30.) The first verse of this chapter is placed in the Hebrew text at the end of Deuteronomy 28:1; but in the LXX. and Vulgate the arrangement is as in the Authorized Version, where it appears as the title of the section that follows. In that section is contained an address to the people by Moses, in which he appeals to them to enter anew into the covenant with the Lord, which had been before concluded at Horeb; denounces apostasy as what would lead certainly to their being rejected of God; assures them at the same time of God's readiness to restore them should they sincerely repent and return to him; and once more sets bef

NEITHER WITH YOU ONLY DO I MAKE THIS COVENANT AND THIS OATH. That is, Moses; for he was ordered to make this covenant with them in the name of the Lord; what promises of good things, or declarations of his mind and will, God would make, Moses was to deliver to them; and what was required of them he would inform them of. Aben Ezra interprets it, not only you, but those that will come after you, your sons and your sons' sons....

25. THE REPETITION OF THE COVENANT AND THE REPETITION OF THE CURSE CHAPTER 29 _ 1. The repetition of the covenant (Deuteronomy 29:1)_ 2. The repetition of the curse (Deuteronomy 29:16) The words of the covenant are once more brought to their remembrance. Once more all the goodness of the Lord towards them is unfolded by Moses, how the Lord had dealt with Egypt and how their eyes had seen the signs and great miracles. (Verses 5 and 6 are the direct words of Jehovah, ending with the declaration, “I am the LORD, your God.”) Again the forty years are mentioned, during which their clothes and their shoes did not get old. God took care of them and provided for their needs in the wilderness. Bread from heaven was their portion and therefore they had no need of sti

DEUTERONOMY 29:1 belongs, as in the Heb. Bible, to the preceding chapter. It is the formal ending of the great discourse (Deuteronomy 4:44, Deuteronomy 12-26, Deuteronomy 28). Deuteronomy 29 (except Deuteronomy 29:1) and Deuteronomy 30 form ostensibly Moses-' third address, in the course of which Israel is urged to obey Yahweh and to enter into covenant relations with Him (Deuteronomy 29:2), words of warning (Deuteronomy 29:16) being followed by words of promise ...

F. SOLEMN WARNINGS AND REMINDERS (Deuteronomy 29:14 to Deuteronomy 30:20) 1. COVENANT ALL-INCLUSIVE (Deuteronomy 29:14-21) 14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, 15 but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day; 16 (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed; 17 and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them;) 18 lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to g

DEUTERONOMY: GOD’S LAW OF LOVE LOVE AND OBEY THE *LORD YOUR GOD DEUTERONOMY _PHILIP SMITH_ CHAPTER 29 V1 These are the words of the *covenant. The *LORD ordered Moses to make it with the *Israelites in the country called Moab. This was in addition to the *covenant that he had made with them at *Mount Sinai. V2 Moses called all the *Israelites together and he spoke to them: ‘You saw all that the *LORD did in Egypt to the king, to all his officials and to all his country.
