Deuteronomy 8
8:1 All the
commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe
a
to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the
LORD sware unto your fathers.
(
a) Showing that it is not enough to hear the
word, unless we express it by the example of our lives.
8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the
LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and]
to
b prove thee, to know what [was] in
thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
(
b) Which is declared in afflictions, either by
patience, or by grudging against God's visitation.
8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
that he might make thee know that man doth not live by
c
bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD
doth man live.
(
c) Man does not live by meat only, but by the
power of God, who gives it strength to nourish us.
8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did
thy foot
d swell, these forty years.
(
d) As those that go barefoot.
8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as
a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God
e
chasteneth thee.
(
e) So that his affliction are signs of his
fatherly love toward us.
8:9
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any
[thing] in it; a land
f whose stones
[are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
(
f) Where there are mines of metal.
8:10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou
shalt
g bless the LORD thy God for the
good land which he hath given thee.
(
g) To receive God's benefits and not be
thankful, is to despise God in them.
8:14
Then thine heart
h be lifted up, and
thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt,
from the house of bondage;
(
h) By attributing God's benefits to your own
wisdom and labour, or to good fortune.
8:18
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that
i
giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he
sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
(
i) If things concerning this life proceed only
from God's mercy, how much more do spiritual gifts and everlasting life.
8:19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the
LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I
k
testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
(
k) Or take to witness the heaven and the earth,
as in (
Deuteronomy
4:26).
