However Judea, here and there, doth swell out much with mountains, yet its chief swelling appears in that broad back of mountains, that runs from the utmost southern cost as far as Hebron, and almost as Jerusalem itself. We now begin to understand a little of the very beginning of God's Book--of the times in which it was written, the materials used by its first author, and the different kinds of writing from which he had to choose; but we must go a step farther.

From the beginning of the second month of the first year of the exodus (Exodus 19:1) to the twentieth day of the second month of the second year (Numbers 10:11).This was the period of organisation, in which the people .

Moses reflected on the past mainly as Israels history stands revealed in the earlier books of the Pentateuch. The word of Jehovah mentioned here is not found in this form in the previous history; but as a matter of fact it is contained in the divine instructions that were preparatory to their removal (Numbers 1-4 and Numbers 9:15-10:10), and the rising of the cloud from the tabernacle, which followed immediately afterwards (Numbers 10:11).

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and unto Him the people shall adhere." All this is brought out to Israel as the fruit of obeying Jehovah. If a person takes what does not belong to him, every man, even a heathen, can judge it.

But there never was a system that more thoroughly pandered to the evil heart of man, and gratified it in its violence against others, and in its corrupt lusts for itself, than that frightful imposture. In examining Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, we have found what may be called an abstract typical system. What a horrible thing, what a horrible thing to say about God and against God; God hates us. Now Israel had totally failed in their place. It is well for persons that they are not to stay long under the law, and the terrors of it, but are directed to Mount Zion; Hebrews 12:18.

This he tried to conceal from One, all whose ways were obedience, venturing to insinuate what a noble demonstration of His Messiahship it would be. And Moses said, "No, don't. Again, what can be more simple and appropriate than that Moses at the close should omit the name and counsel of Jethro, and bring the people into greater prominence than himself in the choice of rulers? It was by this Scripture that the Lord, as we know, repelled the first temptation of the adversary. Blessing for the world is after God has thus cleared the scene: in the prospect of this the Christian is called to rejoice to have the joy not only of liberty now but of the glory that is about to displace the oppression, the sorrow, the wretchedness, the sin, of this poor long-groaning earth, when all shall be put under the only One who is competent to bear the burden and to govern it to the glory of God.

The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain, Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament. That generation had passed away no doubt. Far from being done with, we know from the word of God that He will maintain the sabbatical rest strictly, and enforce it in the days of the kingdom; so that, if a man does not bow to His authority, he will assuredly come under divine judgment: so much does Jehovah make of it in itself, and so much will He make of it for the obedience of others in the day that is coming. 1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

We are to observe the statutes and to do them. All this then precedes another lesson. That in Deuteronomy has an amplification corresponding to the style of the book. Jehovah had cut down the former generation for their disobedience. kind this book, while it does not want allusions to what God had said in all the other books, has, no less than the rest of them, its own peculiar character. Faith leads to obedience: first of all the acceptance of His word brings and secures blessing by faith for our souls; and then, having received it, we surrender ourselves to His will. 2. The Lord puts no weapon of a kind to injure any into our hands; but bids us leave vengeance with himself. One of the most weighty duties is not properly a moral question at all, but depends simply on the commandment of God. In His dealings with them He applied a higher standard, and far more severity. Here then they are called to action. For a people in relationship with God such is the only possible way, either of pleasing Him, or of tasting that joy of the Lord which is the strength of His people. If they were going to possess the land, let them remember it was God's land, not theirs. Now, the wilderness experiences where I am trying to bring my flesh into conformity to the will of God, and I'm promising God that I'm gonna do better, that I'm not gonna fail next time. In Deuteronomy 16:1-17 (where I now stop) we have the winding up of all this part the termination of the statutes which had to do with religion. Hence therefore we see why it is that the first circumstance in their history brought before them was that God told them not to go up to the mountain of the Amorites; but they would go up in self-will and self-confidence, and utterly failed before their enemies. 45-48. Indeed He found His moral glory in this very fact, that He alone of all men that ever lived never in a single particular swerved from that which after all is the sweetest, loveliest, highest thing in man here below absolute devotedness to another, doing the will of His God and Father. The type was the land of Canaan; the antitype, so far as it lies in time, is the world, which it is the Church's calling to conquer for Christ, and for her own possession.

And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.".

I am persuaded that above all the Christian, who has a still nearer relationship with God, is the very last person who ought to exercise a choice in self-will. He wanted to leave them his blessing nay, he wanted them to have the best blessing that God could give them. They were tried after this by another case of forbearance. A few, however, think that the record in Deuteronomy is the more exact, because when Moses recorded the words in Exodus he had heard the decalogue pronounced; whereas, when he repeated it in Deuteronomy, it was in his hands, inscribed in permanent letters. No compulsion was used to the nations outside. "Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword," the small things as well as great. i. Moses began his recollections of the journey by reminding the people that their coming possession of Canaan was solely because of Gods grace, not because of any virtue in them (1:1-8).Only through Gods mercy had they grown into a strong and contented people who enjoyed the blessing (rare among ancient races) of just, impartial and humanitarian government (9-18). The same with Sinai, as Aben Ezra observes; while the Israelites lay encamped near this mountain, the Lord spoke unto them: saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: or near it; for hither they came on the first day of the third month from their departure out of Egypt, and they did not remove from thence until the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, Exodus 19:1 so that they were here a year wanting ten days; in which space of time the law was given them, the tabernacle and all things appertaining to it were made by them, rulers both ecclesiastical and civil were appointed over them, and they were numbered and marshalled in order under four standards, and so ready to march; and all this being done, they must stay no longer, but set forward for the land of Canaan. As the epithet applied to God, "Jehovah our God," presupposes the reception of Israel into covenant with Jehovah, which took place at Sinai, so the words, "ye have dwelt long enough at this mountain," imply that the purpose for which Israel was taken to Horeb had been answered, i.e., that they had been furnished with the laws and ordinances requisite for the fulfilment of the covenant, and could now remove to Canaan to take possession of the promised land. Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet."

What love there was in this, if by any means he might impress obedience on the people that were just going into the land!

Because he hath wholly followed the Lord. Consequently, when Christianity began, the first day of the week was made the distinguishing mark, the Lord's-day, and not the sabbath. In Deuteronomy 10:1-22 we find the provision of Jehovah's goodness is stated in a very striking way. Surely this is highly significant. 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the . There was no doubt whatever that Esau had behaved so ill that the children of Israel were not likely to forget it. The object is quite different.

Now a new generation was getting ready to enter the promised land. But Satan as usual tampered with the plain written word, alike with its letter and its spirit; for after "to keep thee" he omitted "in all thy ways." 2. And so often the good that he wanted to do, he couldn't do and the evil he didn't want to do was the thing that he was doing until he found himself in just a miserable, wretched state. iii.

Israel's stay at the mount was good while it lasted. The Lord will conquer your . His fame and prolonged obscurity made his enemies anxious for him to again expose himself in their midst. 8). Let's turn to Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy has a character of its own totally distinct from that of its predecessors, as has been already pointed out and will appear more fully. What shall we drink? This he had fully shown in the history. This men forget. So, all of these things transpired in Deuteronomy, as far as Moses was concerned, in the last forty days of his life; his final exhortations to the people prior to their crossing and entering into the land. 30.) Rekam, and that Double. They were about to go into the land to enjoy it; but "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one. There were reasons due to God's character why Moses should not bring the people into the laud. 29.) We're prone to look at the obstacles.

Now the life of the spirit begins with the death of the old nature, the old man, which is the position that we must take by faith. But. Nothing of the sort.

We shall meet with others ere long, we shall come to civil ones, but we are not going beyond the religious charges at present. Appendix ii. It was after the golden calf, nay more than this; it was after the whole disciplinary dealings of Jehovah had now come to an end. But we must not overlook another part of the chapter not the Lord strengthening the people against the mightiest of adversaries, but Israel reminded of their rebellious heart even under such circumstances against Jehovah. It was "the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee." Whither shall we go up? THE CHURCH'S DANGER - to abide at the mount, to settle down into a state of apathy or simple receptivity. ", Next, he presses their singular privilege in His presence with them. After God speaks it is time to move to the next level. It is making God less than a man; for if he could not be content without it, how much less the living God? Then in Deuteronomy 2:1-37 the law-giver reminds them how they took their weary journey. Now this is a foolish charge that they brought against God and it is something that we oftentimes are prone to do. Mark how very strikingly this is shown. They must learn not to seek what God would not give them. Nobody likes this. Such conversion does not suit God, who must have His own. Of Kadesh, or Rekam, in the south part, there is no doubt. With this they did not at all like to comply; and thus the same spirit which declined to go up in obedience to Jehovah refuses to go back in submission to Him.

Thus it is not a book which defines strict canonical usage in these matters. 40, Moses, after reviewing the recent history of the people, and showing how it reveals Jehovah's love for Israel, earnestly urges upon them the duty of keeping His laws, reminding them of His spirituality and absoluteness. It is ever the same duty of submission to God's will. iv. That was a tragedy of failure on their part and it was a failure of faith. Deuteronomy 1:6. Pray along these points: Thank Father God for how far He has already brought you. Israel was called in everything to confide in Jehovah and obey.

"Jehovah heard the voice of your words and was wroth, and sware saying, Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers.". Now I affirm that on the face of the scriptures no candid person can deny that Exodus is professedly given as the history of the matter; Deuteronomy as a subsequent recital to the people, without the least aim at reiterating the words, which would have been the easiest thing in the world; for even these free thinkers do not pretend that the Deuteronomist did not possess Exodus.
