Deuteronomy 25

And to deride his priesthood, they put a robe on him, and when he is on the cross and offering himself as our priest in a sacrifice to God, all that passed by wagged their head and shot out the lip, saying, "He trusted in God, let God save him." Then the spitting on his face — i…

Such laws as are merely judicial, that is, judicial and not moral, and do particularly concern the nation of the Jews, the land of Canaan, the times before Christ, the things of the Old Testament, are abrogated. Of this kind is the law that commands the brother to raise up seed…

And not without reason, therefore, does Paul enjoin a teacher to be furnished with armor for repelling the adversaries of the truth, (Titus 1:9.) With respect to the law, (Deuteronomy 25:5,) by which God commanded the relatives, who were nearest of kin, to succeed the dead in ma…

3. That the seven Nations of Canaan be blotted out (Deuteronomy 20:16). 4. That the Israelites remember what Amalek did to them (Deuteronomy 25:15, 16). 5. That the memory of Amalek be blotted out from under Heaven (Exodus 17:14).

First, Corporeal: Secondly, Such as respect the outward estate and condition of the offender: Thirdly, Capital. First, Corporeal punishment was that only of stripes, not exceeding the number of forty (Deuteronomy 25:23). An account of the Jews' opinions, and the manner of their…

And from this place it is that the Jews themselves in Midrash Coheleth, cap. 1, say, [in non-Latin alphabet]; The latter Redeemer is to be like the former. Deut. 25. v. 19. You shall blot out the remembrance of Amaleck from under Heaven, you shall not forget it. Jonathan; Targum…

It is a sore and great evil, not to join with Gods servants in their troubles; but how great an evil then is it, to adde affliction to their affliction, to join with their enemies against them, especially when they are weak in their suffering condition? Gods wrath against Amalek…

Since therefore God swears by his majesty, and is omnipotent, it is certain that he will leave no injury unavenged. Moreover we see that Moses also faithfully carried out the command given him by the Lord in Deuteronomy 25:17, where indeed he expressly commands the people to be…

We would taste of the sweetness of mercy, but cannot endure the bonds and restraints of duty; as Ephraim would tread out the corn, but was loath to break the clods (Hosea 10:11). The prophet alludes to the manner among the Jews, their fashion was to tread out or thresh out their…

2. The qualification of the promise must be regarded by those that would have benefit by it: God's covenant is made with his people, 'tis a mutual stipulation, many would have comfort, we plead promises of safety with God, but forget promises of obedience to him; as Ephraim woul…

That which God has joined together, no man must put asunder. The prophet says, (Hosea 10:11) Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; compared with (Deuteronomy 25:4) You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the corn. We are addicted to our own…

3. Use not false weights or measures, nor keep your books falsely: take heed of writing down more than was delivered or bargained for, or writing greater prices than were agreed upon. As to false weights and measures, they are utterly forbidden (Leviticus 19:35-36) and (Deuteron…

Sin makes men odious in the eyes of God (Psalm 5:5): you hate all workers of iniquity. The Lord abominates them (Deuteronomy 25:16): all that do unrighteously are an abomination to the Lord your God. Yes, sinners do by wickedness make themselves odious to good men (Proverbs 29:2…

It's an evidence of an Egyptian when an Israelite is going out of Egypt, he stinks in his nostrils. Indeed, a sad argument of a soul devoted to destruction (Deuteronomy 25:17-19). Exhortation: as to proceed the right way, so never to rest until [illegible] come to the right pitc…

Sixthly, supposing all Hagiomastix says were true, that those bodily punishments commanded by God under the old Law to be inflicted upon false prophets, idolaters, seducers, blasphemers, had been in some sense typical and presignificative of those greater and more spiritual unde…

If any man has a Suit or cause let him come to me, and I will do him justice; I will justify him, judge in his cause and pronounce for him. Deuteronomy 25:1. If there be a Controversie among men, and they come to judgment, that the judges may judge them, they shall justify the r…

Justify; it is Verbum [reconstructed: forense], a judicial word, used in courts of judgment, or a law-term, which usually is opposed to condemnation. And it signifies to absolve, to acquit from guilt, and accepting a man as righteous, or to pronounce him just and righteous, or g…

I thought it great pity that so hopeful an issue should perish for want of a little help in the birth. And I thought withal in case of my negligence, or refusal of his brotherly office, how justly I might have deserved the ignominious ceremony of the spittle in my face (Deuteron…

They answered, Yes; but we did not imagine, said they, that this fine-spoken man had been he. (Romans 16:17-18). Then I saw in my dream, that he commanded them to lie down; which when they did, he chastised them sore, to teach them the good way wherein they should walk (Deuteron…

Good Lord! adding iniquity to iniquity! The sin is marvelous, and the curse inconceivable. When Amalek met Israel and took them at advantage, because they were weak and weary, remember (says the text) what he did to you in the way, how he feared not God (Deuteronomy 25:17), and…

Why, verse 26: They have persecuted him whom you have smitten; If God has wounded a poor soul, and you add to his grief, it brings a heavy curse of God, not only upon yourself, but upon all your goods, lands, and estate, and soul too; Take heed therefore how you speak to the gri…

(1) Because the judicial law was delivered by Moses to the Israelites to be observed, as to a body politic (Exodus 21). (2) Because this law, in many things which are of particular right, was accommodated to the commonwealth of the Jews and not to other nations also (Exodus 22:3…
