What does Deuteronomy 31:27 mean?
For I know thy rebellion and thy stiff neck
How rebellious they were against the Lord and his laws, and how
unwilling they were to admit the yoke of his commandments to be
put upon them, and submit to it; this he had an experience of for
forty years past:
behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have
been
rebellious against the Lord;
murmuring at his providences, ( Exodus 16:8 Exodus 16:12
) ( 17:3 )
, speaking against his ministers, ( Exodus 16:2 ) (
Numbers
12:1 ) ( Numbers 14:2
) ( Numbers
16:3 Numbers
16:41 ) ( 20:2 ) ;
breaking his laws, particularly being guilty of idolatry, in
making and worshipping the golden calf, ( Exodus 32:8 ) ; and
even now, as in ( Deuteronomy
31:21 ) , were imagining, forming, and framing in their minds
something of the same kind, from the time of their coming out of
Egypt unto this time they were now on the borders of Canaan; this
had all along been their character; see ( Deuteronomy
9:7 Deuteronomy
9:24 ) ;
and how much more after my death?
When he would be no more with them to instruct and advise them,
to caution and reprove them, and to keep them in awe by his
authority.
