Deuteronomio 10:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:16

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart
Content not yourselves with, nor put your confidence in outward circumcision of the flesh, but be concerned for the circumcision of the heart; for removing from that whatever is disagreeable to the Lord, even all carnality, sensuality, hypocrisy, and superfluity of naughtiness, and for having that put there which is well pleasing in his sight; and which though it is the work of God, and he only can do it and has promised it, yet such an exhortation is made to bring men to a sense of their need of it, and of the importance of it, and to show how agreeable it is to the Lord, and so to stir them up to seek unto him for it; see ( Deuteronomy 30:6 )

and be no more stiffnecked;
froward, obstinate, and disobedient, as they had been hitherto; ( Deuteronomy 9:6 Deuteronomy 9:13 ) .

Deuteronomio 10:16 In-Context

14 Ecco, all’Eterno, al tuo Dio, appartengono i cieli, i cieli dei cieli, la terra e tutto quanto essa contiene;

15 ma soltanto ne’ tuoi padri l’Eterno pose affezione, e li amò; e, dopo loro, fra tutti i popoli, scelse la loro progenie, cioè voi, come oggi si vede.

16 Circoncidete dunque il vostro cuore e non indurate più il vostro collo;

17 poiché l’Eterno, il vostro Dio, è l’Iddio degli dèi, il Signor dei signori, l’Iddio grande, forte e tremendo, che non ha riguardi personali e non accetta presenti,

18 che fa giustizia all’orfano e alla vedova, che ama lo straniero e gli dà pane e vestito.
