Deuteronomy 9:27 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 9:27

Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
The covenant he had made with them, the promises he had made to them of the multiplication of their seed, and of giving the land of Canaan to them; which is a third argument used with the Lord not to destroy them:

look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness,
nor to their sin;
nor to the natural temper and disposition of the people, which was to be stubborn, obstinate, stiffnecked, and self-willed; nor to their wickedness, which appears in various instances; nor to that particular sin of idolatry they had now been guilty, of; tacitly owning that if God looked to these things, there was sufficient reason to destroy them.

Deuteronomy 9:27 In-Context

25 I threw myself down in front of the LORD for 40 days and 40 nights because the LORD said he would destroy you.

26 I prayed to the LORD and said, "Almighty LORD, don't destroy your people. They belong to you. You saved them by your great power and used your mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt.

27 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Disregard the stubbornness, wickedness, and sin of these people.

28 Otherwise, the country we left will say, "The LORD wasn't able to bring them to the land he promised them. He hated them. That's why he brought them out--to let them die in the desert."

29 They are your people. They belong to you. You used your great strength and powerful arm to bring them out [of Egypt].
