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). 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. His Father will take care of him. Hence there is a tone of exceeding seriousness, as well as of chastened affection; there is a solemnity founded on the grand dealings of a God whose faithful and holy hand was now ushering them into His land.

The fixed use of the name Horeb to designate the mountain group in general, instead of the special name Sinai, which is given to the particular mountain upon which the law was given, is in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book. Such was the uniform walk of Jesus. ( Romans 7:24 ). The priests were Levites. If they betook themselves to rites and ceremonies as a means of pleasing God, Jesus gave Himself up to unreserved obedience was Himself the constant pattern of One who never sought His own will.

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. They possess that inimitable solemnity which cannot be so much uttered in words as felt in the general bearing of the book. The less that Israel felt they had failed, the more Jesus felt it for them.

They got their eyes upon the obstacles rather of than the power of God to remove the obstacles.And this is the mistake that we so often make as we look at our own lives and we look at the dominion that our flesh has had over us. Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God, who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day."

An Israelite king could not take many wives because they would lead him astray from the Lord. On the other hand, there is no mercy but ruthless severity always served out to those who refuse to fraternise, not to speak of ceaseless enmity to those who condemn and oppose. long enough for the two and a half tribes to build cities.

(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.) II. Verse Deuteronomy 1:6. These figures Moses was inspired to give as a whole to the people, entirely apart from the question whether they were or could be carried out according to the letter while passing through the wilderness.

Hence, if darkness had not veiled their eyes, they would have seen that the latter clause of Deuteronomy 5:12 cited could not be in Exodus, and that its existence in Deuteronomy proves that we have here a grave and instructive reference to the commandments formally given in the second book of Moses.

"The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, You have stayed long enough at this mountain. So, their fear was inspired because of these cities that were high and walled and because the people, the inhabitants were large, gigantic kinds of people. It is obedience.

The name Deuteronomy means "second law." It was the second giving of the Mosaic Law, the first being at Mount Sinai. 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? All the previous part prepares the way. In Psalms it says, "And they limited the holy one of Israel by their unbelief" ( Psalms 78:41 ). Know ye not that the old man was crucified with Christ? The inspired editor may have given later names, and added "as it is in this day," or explanatory remarks. This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. 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. Hey, it's time to go in and begin to possess that which God has promised unto you." Was not this a positive promise? So it was done; but it is added that, when they did depart from Horeb and went through the wilderness, "which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God doth give unto us. Like Moses and the people of Israel, failure to trust God can have serious consequences in life, but our failure is ultimately redeemed by God's grace. It is rather a proof of hardness of heart. It is remarkable that, even though in this connection Moses gives them what are called the ten commandments, there is nevertheless an express and manifest difference in the form as compared with Exodus; so little is Deuteronomy a mere rehearsal of the earlier books. Israels covenant God (the LORD) is the possessor of all the earth The fact is that, no matter what might be the measure of carrying them out in the wilderness, God was setting forth by them the shadows of good things to come. However the "strife" (Deuteronomy 1:12) of the people would prove to be their undoing.

If it were merely a question of man, nobody would think of choosing for another. It was revealed as the great operative truth, continually impressed on Israel their one true God. I have no hesitation in subscribing the opinion that our Lord Jesus chose them not only because they were in themselves exactly such as met and confronted Satan's temptations perfectly, but because there was a moral suitability in the fact that they were the words addressed to the people when ruin had already come in when nothing but the grace of God was afresh appealing to them before they were brought into the holy land. "but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live."
