Deuteronomy 9 - Introduction

SUMMARY OF CHAPTER NINE

The people are informed that they shall shortly pass over Jordan, and that God shall go over before them, to expel the ancient inhabitants, 1-3. They are cautioned not to suppose that it is on account of their righteousness that God is to give them that land, 4-6. They are exhorted to remember then various provocations of the Divine Majesty, especially at Horeb, 7-14; and how Moses interceded for them, and destroyed the Golden calf, 15-21. How they murmured at Taberah, 22; and rebelled at Kadesh-barnea, 23; and had been perverse from the beginning, 24. An account of the intercession of Moses in their behalf, 25-29.
