Deuteronomy 17
The
pains taken and instruments used to preserve blessing and
maintain relationship with God
Verse 18 [from Chapter 16] begins a new
subject: the pains taken, and the instruments used, to
preserve the blessing and execute the judgments necessary
to that effect. The thought is still to maintain the
people in relationship with God alone. They were to
appoint judges and officers in their gates. Whatever led
to idolatry was forbidden; he who enticed them to it was
to be stoned (chap. 17). If the matter were too hard,
they were to come to the priests and the judges, and the
people were to abide by their judgment.
The people's
desire for a king anticipated
The case of the people
desiring a king is anticipated; and they are told that he
must be of the people, and not act so as to open the way
for intercourse with Egypt, nor so as to lead the people
to idolatry; but he is to write a copy of the book of the
law with his own hand, and read therein all the days of
his life, being subject to it, so as not to despise his
brethren.
