Deuteronômio 1
Constable adds that "The English term "law" has negative connotations, but the Hebrew torah, used here (v. 5), is positive. The Torah is more instruction than prohibition. Here the whole of Deuteronomy is in view. "What the man and woman lost in the Garden is now restored to them in the Torah, namely, God's plan for their good."[18] (Deuteronomy 1) This law was (not new but repeat of previous law) expounded to give Israel clear divine guidelines which were to be obeyed in order to insure they would enjoy the blessing of the Promised Land they were going in to possess. The timeless principle is that obedience to God brings blessings from God. For Israel the blessings were a LAND, but for believers today the blessings are a LIFE, one which Jesus referred to as "abundant life" (Jn 10:10). Are you living the ABUNDANT LIFE in Christ? Obedience (enabled by the Spirit, not by legalism) to God is the path to the blessed life in Christ (cf 1 Sa 15:22b, Lk 11:28+). Gary Hall - It was this full revelation of the will of God that Moses now set out to make plain. That is why we find in Deuteronomy more than legal regulations. It contains historical recapitulation, exposition, encouragement, warning, and profound theological reflection. Edward Woods adds "this law was not just information. It was to be taught to each generation (Dt 6:20-25), so that Israel might know how to live before the Lord within the land. As such, it stands as a witness against Israel’s rebellious and idolatrous nature, both before and after Moses’ death (Nu 31:24-29). (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries – Deuteronomy) Illustration - Charles L. Allen, in his autobiography What I Have Lived By, relates the story of a conductor who was making his last run before retirement. A man asked him how he felt about this final trip on the passenger train. He replied, “It seems like I have spent my life trying to help people get home.” Moses would have understood. (John Maxwell) Deuteronomy 1:6 "The LORD our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, 'You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Horeb: De 5:2 Ex 3:1 Ex 17:6 You have: Ex 19:1-2 Nu 10:11-13 Deuteronomy 1 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Summary of Moses first discourse (Deuteronomy 1-4) Deuteronomy 1:1-5 Introduction Deuteronomy 1:6–46 describes the journey from Horeb to Kadesh. Deuteronomy 2 continues from Kadesh to Heshbon. Deuteronomy 3 describes the conquering of Trans-Jordan. Deuteronomy 4 is Moses' exhortation to obedience. Related Passage: Numbers 10:11+ Now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the (Shekinah glory) cloud was lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony 12 and the sons of Israel set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran. 13 So they moved out for the first time according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses. CHARGE AT MT SINAI BREAK CAMP! MOVE OUT! Deut 1:6-46 begins the HISTORICAL PROLOGUE, reviewing the past promises of God to Israel. He begins with Horeb, not Egypt for it was at Mt Sinai that God made a covenant with the people and the people in effect became a nation Israel. Warren
Deuteronômio 1
Constable - explains "A huge cluster of grapes carried on a pole between two men has long been a symbol of the land of Israel. This figure illustrates the great agricultural productivity of the land. It still is a popular symbol of modern Israel today (see depiction above) and is the logo of the Department of Tourism." Is it not a bit ironic that the symbol for tourism actually derived from "tourists" who decided not to come into the Land of Israel! Deuteronomy 1:26 "Yet you were not willing to go up, but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God; Nu 14:1-4 Ps 106:24,25 Isa 63:10 Ac 7:51 Deuteronomy 1 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passage: Numbers 13:28+ - Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there. “Amalek is living in the land of the Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.” REBELLION AGAINST GOD'S COMMAND Yet - (NKJ = "Nevertheless") A sad term of contrast - "good land" (Dt 1:25) in sharp contrast to their bad attitude (rebellion) (Dt 1:26). Recall that terms of contrast often mark a "change in direction" and in this case the change was from "go in and possess" to stay put and panic. In fact this is the same "contrast" word used in Nu 13:28+ when the 10 spies quickly changed a "good report" (Nu 13:27) to a bad report declaring “Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there."
