Deuteronômio 29:1

Comentário de Ellicott sobre toda a Bíblia

XXIX., XXX.
THE SECOND COVENANT.

(1) These are the words of the covenant. — The Hebrew Bibles add this verse to the previous chapter, and begin Deuteronômio 29 at the second verse. But they cannot be right in so doing. For though the pronoun “these” in Hebrew has nothing to determine whether it belongs to what precedes or to what follows, yet the context shows that the covenant is described in Deuteronômio 29, not in Deuteronômio 28 (See Deuteronômio 29:12 below). It is very significant that this “covenant in the land of Moab” stands outside the tremendous sanction appended to the expansion of the Sinaitic covenant in Deuteronomy. The effect of this arrangement may be illustrated by a reference to Levítico 26:27. The “sanction” of the law in Leviticus, which is a complete code of ceremonial and moral holiness, is contained in Deuteronômio 26. But that chapter is followed by a passage respecting vows, which are not compulsory, and therefore obviously lie, as a whole, outside that which is “commanded.” The position of Deuteronomy 29, 30 is analogous to that of Levítico 27. Thus we see that the tremendous curse of the Sinaitic covenant is not the end of God’s dealings with the chosen people. After that, there is still another covenant, to the force of which there is no limit (see Deuteronômio 29:15 below). The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. Nothing can destroy the relation between Jehovah and Israel. Their resurrection as a nation may well be described by the words of Moses in Salmos 90, “Thou turnest man to destruction (national death — Deuteronômio 28), and sayest (Deuteronomy 29, 30), Return, ye children of men (resurrection). For a thousand years in thy sight (though spent in the grave) are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night” (to be followed by the dawn of morning). “A watch in the night” is not the blackness of darkness for ever.

Beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb. — It should be carefully noted that the formal repetition of the law in Moses’ second great discourse in this book opens with these words (Deuteronômio 5:2), “the Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.” There is no real break in Deuteronomy from Deuteronômio 5:1 to the end of Deuteronômio 26 and Deuteronomy 27, 28 are the “sanction” of that covenant.
