SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:10
¶ Vosotros todos estáis hoy delante del SEÑOR vuestro Dios; vuestros príncipes de vuestras tribus, vuestros ancianos, y vuestros alcaldes, todos los varones de Israel,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 29:10
Verse 10. Ye stand-all of you before the Lord] They were about to enter into a covenant with God; and as a covenant implies two parties contracting, God is represented as being present, and they and all their families, old and young, come before him.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God , etc.] Being gathered together at the door of the tabernacle, at the summons of Moses. Aben Ezra interprets it round about the ark, which was the symbol of the divine Presence: your captains of your tribes ; the heads and rulers of them: your elders and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel ; not the seventy elders only, but their elders in their several tribes, cities, and families, men of gravity and prudence, as well as of age, and who were in some place of power and authority or another: and the “officers” may design such who attended the judges, and executed their orders; (see Deuteronomy 16:18); and with them were the common people, the males, who were grown persons. Aben Ezra thinks they stood in the order in which they here are mentioned, which is not improbable; next to Moses the princes, then the elders, and after them the officers, and next every man of Israel, the males; and then the little ones with the males; after them the women, and last of all the proselytes.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-21 - The national covenant made with Israel, not only typified the covenan of grace made with true believers, but also represented the outwar dispensation of the gospel. Those who have been enabled to consent to the Lord's new covenant of mercy and grace in Jesus Christ, and to giv up themselves to be his people, should embrace every opportunity of renewing their open profession of relation to him, and their obligatio to him, as the God of salvation, walking according thereto. The sinne is described as one whose heart turns away from his God; there the mischief begins, in the evil heart of unbelief, which inclines men to depart from the living God to dead idols. Even to this sin men are no tempted, when drawn aside by their own lusts and fancies. Such men ar roots that bear gall and wormwood. They are weeds which, if let alone overspread the whole field. Satan may for a time disguise this bitte morsel, so that thou shalt not have the natural taste of it, but at the last day, if not before, the true taste shall be discerned. Notice the sinner's security in sin. Though he hears the words of the curse, ye even then he thinks himself safe from the wrath of God. There is scarcely a threatening in all the book of God more dreadful than this Oh that presumptuous sinners would read it, and tremble! for it is real declaration of the wrath of God, against ungodliness an unrighteousness of man.
