41 Moses appoints the three cities of refuge on that side of
Jordan.
44 Recapitulation.
VERSE 1
- unto the statutes.
Statutes, every thing that concerned morals and the rites and
ceremonies of religion; judgments, all matters of civil right
and wrong.

It appears from this appeal, that the pestilence, as well as
the sword of the civil officers, singled out the guilty persons
and spared the rest. (Ps 91:6-8). The legislator, in order
to deter the Jews from idolatry, alludes to this fact, but he
notices no circumstance but one, which, though in the original
narrative was not stated, was infinitely the most important to
advert to on this occasion; but which no persons, but
spectators of the fact, and perfectly acquainted with every
individual concerned in it, could possibly feel the truth of.

The people had been often ready to conclude that Moses taught
them by his own authority; but at the close of his life he
solemnly assured them that he had instructed them exactly as
the Lord had commanded him, neither more, nor less, nor
otherwise. This is a most express declaration that he was
divinely inspired, and utterly incompatible with his integrity
of character, if he was not. Scott.

* :23 Isa 40:18 Joh 4:24 Ac 17:29; 20:4,5 1Ti 1:17
In these verses there is an evident allusion to the idolatrous
worship in Egypt. Among the Egyptians, almost everything in
nature was the object of their idolatry; among beasts were
oxen, heifers, sheep, goats, lions, dogs, monkeys, and cats;
among birds, the ibis, crane, and hawk; among reptiles, the
crocodile, serpents, frogs, flies, and beetles; all the fish
of the Nile, and the Nile itself; besides the sun, moon,
planets, stars, fire, light, air, darkness, and night. These
are all included in the very circumstantial prohibition in the
text, and very forcibly in the general terms of Ex 20:4, the
reason of which prohibition becomes self-evident, when the
various objects of Egyptian idolatry are considered.

VERSE 26
- I call heaven.
A most solemn method of adjuration, in use among all the
nations in the world; God and man being called upon to bear
testimony to the truth of what was spoken, that if there was
any flaw or insincerity it might be detected, and if any
crime, it might not go unpunished. Such appeals to God shew
at once the origin and use of oaths.

- Bezer.
Bezer is the same as Bozra, formerly a royal city of Edom.
See Note on Ge 36:33.
* Jos 20:8
- Ramoth.
Ramoth was a celebrated city in the mountains of Gilead,
placed by Eusebius fifteen miles east from Philadelphia or
Ammon, and by Jerome in the neighborhood of Jabbok, and
consequently north of Philadelphia.
* Jos 21:38 1Ki 4:13; 22:3,4 1Ch 6:80
- Golan.
This city gave name to the district of Gaulonitis, now called
Djolan, which comprises the plain to south of Djedour or
Iturea, and to the west of Haouran: its southern frontier is
the Nahar Aweired, by which it is separated from the district
of Erbad, and the Sheriat el Mandhour, which separates it from
the district of El Kefarat: on the west it is limited by the
territory of Feik, and on the north-west by Djebel Heish, or
mount Hermon.
* Jos 21:27 1Ch 6:71
This is evidently an introduction to the discourse of the
subsequent chapters. Moses having practically improved some
particulars in the history of Israel, proceeded to repeat and
enforce the laws which he had delivered before, with additions
and explanations, beginning with the ten commandments.

* De 1:5; 3:29 Nu 32:19
- over.
* De 3:29
- Beth-peor.
Beth-peor was a city which was situated, according to
Eusebius, opposite Jericho, and six miles above Livias. As
the name signifies "the house of Peor," it is probable that
there was a temple to Peor, situated in this place, full in
view of the people, while Moses was pressing upon them the
worship of Jehovah alone; and perhaps the very temple where so
many had sinned to their own destruction.
