Deuteronomy 10

Deuteronomy 10:1

AN Arke] Some take it to be some little chest or coffer to lay these tables in, for a time, untill the Arke of the Covenant was made, where they were to be kept alwayes: Exod. 25. 16. 21. and 31. 7. Others take it to be the very Arke of the Covenant, as if Moses did set down the thing thus generally without observing the order of times, and with this seemeth to agree that which is spoken: v. 5.

Deuteronomy 10:6

Mosera] This is not Moserot: Numbers 33:30. and it is not mentioned in any other place, and by the circumstance of Aarons death, it is likely that it was some place neere to the mount Hor: and that Moses having generally touched the distance from Beeroth to Mosera, he doth now divide it into some severall stages: v. 7.

Deuteronomy 10:7

From thence] Not from Mosera, but from Beeroth Gudgodab] Otherwise called Horhagidgad: Numbers 33:32.

Deuteronomy 10:8

At that time] After he was appeased with the people concerning the golden calfe.

Deuteronomy 10:14

Behold the heaven] The Italian hath it, The heavens] Aswell this first, and neerest heaven, which is the aire, that encompasseth the earth, as the aethereall heaven, which encompasseth the aire: 1 Kings 8:27.

Deuteronomy 10:16

Circumcise] Let the spirituall meaning of the bodily signe of Circumcision, be set a work, cutting off your vitious naturall affections, putting off and mortifying the old man, and endlessely applying your selves to your sanctification: Deuteronomy 30:6. Jeremiah 4:4. Romans 2:29. Colossians 2:11. see Leviticus 26:41. Jeremiah 9:25.

Deuteronomy 10:17

Is God] The highest true God and Lord: of whose God head and dominion, those which are called Gods, have some likenesse; a false one if it be through abuse, and a true one if it be by a lawfull and approved representation: John 10:35. 1 Corinthians 8:5.

Deuteronomy 10:21

He is thy praise] He that alwayes gives sufficient cause and matter to praise him for. Or, he who maketh thee alwayes glorious and worthy to be esteemed: Psa. 22. 4. and 109. 1. Jeremiah 17:14.
