Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on the Scriptures, Vol. 3: Critical, Doctrinal Homiletical, With Special Reference to Ministers and Students Viewed in its position as "the fifth book of Moses," which is its usual name in the German, Deuteronomy appears as the end, the completion of the Pentateuch. Although the Pentateuch is strictly speaking no "Mosaid," still the appearance of Moses, his life, his works and sufferings, constitute beyond question the personal thread which runs through the one five-divided whole from the second book onwards. As the conduct and fortune of the Israel of the Pentateuch centres originally iu its pilgrim fathers, the patriarchs, so now for its growth and its wider history as a people, it centres in Moses. For this reason the Pentateuch was referred to under the brief name, "Moses" (comp. Heb. xi. 23 sq., with v. 8 sq.; Isa. lxiii. 11; Ps. ciii. 7; Luke xvi. 29-31; xxiv. 27). In this point of view, Genesis is the noblest prologue, which could only have been conceived by one so highly distinguished by God (Ex. xxxiii. 8-11; Num. xii. 7, 8: Deut. xxxiv. 10-12), a person who could not only summon the heavens and earth to hear the words of his mouth (Deut. xxxii. 1), but through the work with which he was entrusted has attained a significance more imperishable than the heavens and earth (Matt. v. IS; Luke xvi. 17). So that Moses in his work not only for Israel but for humanity, could compare himself with the Mediator of a new-covenant (Deut. xviii. 15), as indeed he is expressly recognized in his resemblance to him in the new covenant itself (John i. 17; Matt. xxiv. 35). At all events Genesis closes precisely as we should have expected such a prologue to close, viz. with the children of Israel in Egypt, after the burial of Jacob, and after Joseph also was dead, with the most significant glance into the future (Gen. 1. 24, 25). It completes the narrative down to the point at which the peculiar act begins, of which Moses was to be the great actor and bearer. The second hook of Moses proceeds at once with the exposition, since it records the calling of Moses, with all the circumstances necessary to its understanding. If the following narrative, extending into the fourth book, carries on the development, through the disobedience and obstinacy of the people increasing to its utmost limit, so in the transition to this point, the revolt of his own brother and sister against Moses, and the two-fold declaration concerning him personally (Num. xii. 3,7, 8) claim special notice, and the catastrophe (Num. xiii.-xiv.) has still a wider sweep than the exclusion of Israel from the promised land in the way described in Num. xiv. 29. Moses himself (comp. Deut. i. 37) falls under the divine judgment upon Israel (Num. xx. 12). He is already omitted in Num. xiv. 24, 30, 38.
