Philo of Alexandria, the Rabbis, and the Gospels - the Final Development of Hellenism in Its Relation to Rabbinism and the Gospel According to St. John. 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. Commonly indeed we see that Christians understand a great deal better what the Jews ought to have done, than what they themselves ought to be doing. 8. Here we find out that the request for the spies actually came from the people and that it seemed good unto Moses. Covenant favour would surely do as much for Israel as providence had done for Moab and Ammon! 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. 24. It is founded on the life of Christ in resurrection, when the Holy Ghost brings us into the power of enjoyment. Behold I have set the land before you,Deuteronomy 1:8; Deuteronomy 1:8. "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.

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto Jehovah thy God, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee: and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son." In this case let us see the principles of Jehovah's discipline. We however are not under law but grace. XXI. The people of Israel had nearly completed their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. Moses began his recital of Israels history at Horeb (Sinai) because this is where Yahweh adopted the nation by making the Mosaic Covenant with her. ii. He might and would give it to them, but still He always kept His place. On this side of the Jordan: At this point Israel was camped on the great plains of Moab, able to see across the Jordan River into the . Thus when the story of their rebellion is mentioned, it leads Moses to go back and to trace how this spirit betrayed itself even so early as at Horeb; for when it is a question of rebellion, we must go to the root of it. It seems needless to say that this is altogether short of Christianity; and as we have referred to the difference of a Jew and a Christian as to the sabbath-day and the first day of the week, so as to this. (Deuteronomy 1:22-23) In the same manner an important social arrangement is declared to have been made by Moses at the suggestion of Jethro his father-in-law, who says in prophesying, 'If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able,' etc. Monday, April 4, a.d. Of Kadesh, or Rekam, in the south part, there is no doubt. Above all the prime object is to press obedience on the people of God, but the obedience of a people who had already found what it was to have utterly broken down on their own assumed responsibility. This is what Moses is enforcing by every possible kind of declaration and motive; by his own example and by theirs, as well as the example of their fathers. "The importance of history has two focal points: (a) there is the covenant tradition of promise, from Abraham to Moses; (b) there is the experience of God in history working out in deed the content of the promise. "Virtually all of Palestine and Syria are included in these terms [in Deuteronomy 1:7], an area larger than Israel ever possessed in fact, even during the reigns of David and Solomon." It is rather a proof of hardness of heart. . The Israelites realized nothing of the kind. It ought most of all to shock the Christian. But then Moses reminds them how that they got together and said, "Oh, we've sinned against God. 8-10. The Promised Land into which God was bringing them is typical to the glorious life and victory in the spirit. "The Deuteronomist, writing at a later period of the same arrangement [the mission of the spies in Numbers], represents the people proposing the measure to Moses, who on consideration resolved to execute it, because it approved itself to his heart and conscience: 'Ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land; and the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe.' That is, we see in them a number of institutions laid down by Jehovah, the pattern of which was shown in the mount. 1. Psalm 42 It reinforces his earlier exhortations in Deuteronomy 7:12-15 and 28:2-12. Unless I am very much mistaken,--the maps of Adricomus, Tirinius, and others, ought to be corrected, which have feigned to, The readers of the eastern interpreters will observe, that Kadesh is rendered by all Rekam, or in a sound very near it. Now, there is the coming out of the old life, being delivered from the old life, and this new relationship that we experience with God, learning to walk by faith, as we are setting aside the things of the flesh life and are beginning this new walk in the spirit. And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God doth give us. And here the people were making this blasphemous accusation; "because God hates us, he brought us out here". Deuteronomy 1:6-9: Pulpit Commentary Homiletics. What gentle censures, if any, what palpable favouritism towards his own party, where they most deserve reproof and rebuke or perhaps still more stringent measures! De 1:7 'Turn and set your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negev and .read more Scripture: Deuteronomy 1:6-8 But they saw the giants in the land and the high-walled cities instead of God. [173] Philo was born in Alexandria, about the year 20 before Christ. And Jehovah spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words" because they were called to obey "but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. The intercession of Moses prevailed so far for his brother and the people, that the one lived till near the end of the wanderings in the desert, and the others, instead of perishing as a whole at once, lived to take their journey from a land of wells (Beeroth) to Mosera where Aaron died at Mount Hor, and thence to Gudgodah, and to Jotbath, "a land of rivers of waters:" such was the patient goodness of God to both, as the long interval made the more marked.*. He too it was who had given the Mount to Esau: that was enough. Then in Deuteronomy 2:1-37 the law-giver reminds them how they took their weary journey. 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. 24; 2 Cor. In such a case there is no room for will, nor sparing of the heart. Accordingly the majority of expositors take the record in Exodus for the exact one, supposing that, as Moses was speaking to the people in the latter case, he recited from memory, not from the tables of stone, and therefore there is some variation of terms. This is so decided that in the millennial age there will be a strict maintenance of that day with all the authority of God Himself, vested in and exercised by the Messiah governing Israel and the earth. Thus we know for certain that the most fundamental requirement of all, the Levitical ritual, was not practised; and if they did not prove faithful in that which was most urgent as well as least difficult in point of means for executing it, we can hardly suppose that they carried out their obedience in what was surrounded with immense if not insuperable obstacles. Look at the way in which Jehovah treated even these enemies of Israel. In the one case there was the thorough sifting and scrutiny of God with whom most? Boy, what a horrible thing to say.So, the people were discouraged and they said, The people are greater and taller than we are; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and we have seen the sons of the Anakims ( Deuteronomy 1:28 ). That was a tragedy of failure on their part and it was a failure of faith. Thus, we see, the second exhortation contains a lesson about other people, as the first was the danger of disobedience on their own part. The offspring of your herds and flocks. Crossed over Jordan finally and began the conquest of the land.So, an interesting little commentary. 3. May we not forget it ourselves! "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as Jehovah our God is in all things that we call upon him for? Deuteronomy 7:1-26 one may sum up in a very few words. [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. "Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. This is then what he was pressing. In special instances judgment to the full took its course. Deuteronomy 14:1-29 insists on what became the children of Jehovah their God in abstaining from unseemly maimings or disfigurements for the dead, as well as from any food which He, who knew better than they, pronounced abominable. A Summons To Advance . It is most instructive to note how exceedingly anxious the early Christians were, that, as soon as a man was converted, he should be "filled with the Holy Ghost." Man must not presume to choose. And be Alexander MaclarenExpositions of Holy Scripture, Philo of Alexandria, the Rabbis, and the Gospels - the Final Development of Hellenism in Its Relation to Rabbinism and the Gospel According to St. John. "And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.". 4. This was the period of organisation, in which the people received the Law and were organised as a church militant, an army encamped around the tabernacle of God. 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 conquest of which is commanded by God. Not so. The Blessedness and Glory of the Promised Land, The Impartiality of God to be Reflected in the Judges of His People, Moses' speech in the end of the fortieth year, briefly rehearsing the history of God's sending them from Horeb. 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. If one were simply a man, one must have to do with the place and state of Adam fallen. This is a benigner method of conquest, and it will prove successful if we advance with faith and courage. The remembrance of their own estate as slaves in Egypt till delivered by Jehovah is most suitable in verse 15; but it is certain that this is an appeal to their hearts, not the ground stated by God in promulgating the fourth commandment. They're each of them seeking to rule our lives. "Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Jehovah God of your fathers giveth you. This was a lesson for Israel of prime moment. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone." These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. xlv. It is making God less than a man; for if he could not be content without it, how much less the living God? It is strange how little we know of the personal history of the greatest of uninspired Jewish writers of old, though he occupied so prominent a position in his time. They were about to enter it by special grace; for it is of importance to bear in mind that it was not by the covenant which was made at Horeb that the children of Israel entered the land at all. God is saying to you, "Hey, you've been there long enough, walking in circles. He was a descendant of Aaron, and belonged to one of the wealthiest and most influential families among the Jewish merchant-princes of Egypt. And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them ( Deuteronomy 1:2-3 ); So, there's an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadeshbarnea to the beginning of entering into the Promised Land, but they have been journeying for forty years and eleven months on an eleven-day journey. Is not this very notable? O. T. p. 65) says: "From Deuteronomy 10:8 it is plain that the Levites were not appointed at Sinai but later; whereas we learn fromNumbers 8:1-26; Numbers 8:1-26. that their institution took place at Sinai." In His dealings with them He applied a higher standard, and far more severity. But there is no discrepancy whatever, nor confusion of Aaron's death in the last year of the wilderness sojourn with the separation of Levi some thirty-eight years before. That is the point to do God's will. Here are the list of prayers we have studied in the book of Numbers: The Hence it is that he alludes to the fate of Dathan and Abiram whom the earth swallowed up in consequence of their flagrant apostasy and fighting against God. deuteronomy 1:6 prayer points. Many of them did not see the miracle of the Red Sea being parted. Wherein lay the superior propriety of Deuteronomy to furnish answers at that juncture for Christ, as compared with any other book of scripture? It is no use talking about Israel: the first object is God. Prayer Point #4: Pray for God's will to be done. Still more since Christ: misused ordinances are practically the same thing in principle, asGalatians 4:1-31; Galatians 4:1-31 teaches. 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. So it is that it does not withhold from us the over-heatedness of a Paul, as well as the weakness of a Barnabas; that it tells out the stumbling both of Thomas and of Mark: all is openly communicated for our instruction. Pray it at midnight and midday. He had compromised Him at a critical occasion, and could not but feel that so it was. Deuteronomy 1:6. In Deuteronomy 9:1-29 another topic is prominent. Why did they not? The readers of the eastern interpreters will observe, that Kadesh is rendered by all Rekam, or in a sound very near it. [173] Philo was born in Alexandria, about the year 20 before Christ. Notice: 1. "Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned" "we have sinned against Jehovah: we will go up and fight."

Not withstanding [Moses said] you rebelled against the Lord: And you murmured in your tents ( Deuteronomy 1:26-27 ). Help me to be courageous in the face of my enemies. Jeremiah, or any other prophet. 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. For although there were flocks and herds led into the wilderness with the children of Israel at the command of Jehovah, and they may have added more from enemies they conquered, the fact just now referred to meets and removes a host of objections raised about it, and proves that the nature of these ordinances has not been understood. But for the Christian a very essential feature of his standing is that he is delivered from the status of man or Israel, and called to Christ and heavenly things. They hesitated and by staying outside of the land, they were not obeying God's instructions. We never can duly understand the Old Testament unless in the light of the New; and if there is anyone who is personally and emphatically "the light," need it be said that it is Jesus? [Note: C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch, Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament: Pentateuch, 3:284.] It is not merely "thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of free-will offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee," but "seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose: because Jehovah thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the increase of thine hands; therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.". The truth is that the difference is due to moral development of Israel according to Jehovah's wisdom on the eve of introducing His people into the land, and the more settled and social habits He would have them cultivate there. 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. I am afraid there was not much more in the weeping than in the acknowledgment of the sin. 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. "And so Moses sort of rehearses for them some of the problems that he had as God was dealing with him. For their lives are spent in seeking to satisfy their physical appetites and needs. Of course it is a fact that the priests are there; but one of the peculiar features of this book is that, although sacerdotalism existed, the priests are designedly swamped with the Levites, as the whole of the people are gathered round Jehovah. It is the king's mountain." *Dr. D. (Introd. I do not envy them the thought that God has not revealed His mind about what is nearest to Himself, and what most of all is bound up with His glory! May the Lord give us hearts to rejoice in all His, grace and truth and glory! There is no better evidence and earnest of God's favour than his putting his law in our hearts, Psalms 147:19; Psalms 147:20. pt. "Thou shalt not tempt Jehovah thy God." The chief point to observe is that there was not a spirit of obedience in the people, and this they lacked because there was no faith in God. Nothing irritates me more than to have people make foolish charges against God.I was-had a young man come in when we were back over in the little chapel and he was you know, "God led me do this and God led me to do that and God led me here" and then he's, you know, "God led me out there and I almost starved to death. It is not at all a people or a class kept at a distance by intervening priests. Consequently, when Christianity began, the first day of the week was made the distinguishing mark, the Lord's-day, and not the sabbath. Our adversaries? Appendix ii. It is after this will come the full time of joy for the earth. II. Pray along these points: Thank Father God for how far He has already brought you. Ver. Keep me alert to the dangers of falling into a worldly mindset and help me to keep the eyes of my heart on Jesus. Coming to the Valley of Eshcol, searching it out and taking the fruit and bringing it back. And in it, I must recognize that this old body of flesh, with its desires, has been crucified that it should no longer rule over me but that I now can be ruled by the spirit of God.Now Paul describes his wilderness experience in the seventh chapter of Romans as he talks about seeing the law of God, consenting that the law of God was good and determining to fulfill the law of God. i. p. 42, note 4.) It is Jehovah gathering the people round Himself. However, this was not the promised Land. Praying through Deuteronomy 6:6. But nobody knows about the sabbath-day unless Jehovah command it. 11). We need not dilate on the beautiful detail but at the same time simple truth of this chapter. 5, 11, 14, 18, 21, 26). He is encouraging them to go in and to take the land that God had promised to them. Setting up other gods in the wilderness. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. It was not in His mind to offer men His law or the sword. My Father, I ask that You grant me prosperity in all my endeavours. 303)." It is not the Jewish people in the school of Jehovah to manifest what was in their heart, and what He was towards them; but the people strengthened by Jehovah in presence of a power mightier than their own. 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. in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book." Gifted by God (ver. Is there anything so wholesome! It reminds them of his gracious acts on their behalf and calls from them a fitting response of covenant loyalty. (Exodus 18:23) But inDeuteronomy 1:9; Deuteronomy 1:9, etc., Moses speaks of the same institution as his own without any reference to Jethro, or the divine command of which Jethro spoke." Types are but sparsely presented over the great bulk of the instruction which crowds its pages. "Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you." For what are we here but to please God? In Deuteronomy 5:1-33 we come to still closer quarters. If God had held to the terms of that covenant, never could the people have found their way into Canaan; but God was pleased to bring in fresh terms by a way which will be shown before we have done with this sketch of Deuteronomy; and it was simply and solely because of those fresh terms of mercy which God Himself brought in of His own grace that Israel entered there.
