Deuteronomy 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:17

For the Lord your God is God of gods
Of angels and civil magistrates, who are sometimes so called: these are his creatures, act for him and under him, and are accountable to him:

the Lord of lords;
of the kings and princes of the earth, who have their crowns, sceptres, and kingdoms from him, and hold them of him, by and under whom they reign and decree judgment, and who are subject to his authority and control:

a great God;
as the perfections of his nature, the works of his hands, the blessings of his providence and grace, and the extensiveness of his dominion in heaven, earth, and hell, show him to be:

a mighty and a terrible;
mighty and powerful to help, protect, and defend his people; terrible to his and their enemies, even to the kings of the earth:

which regardeth not persons;
but bestows his favours, whether in a way of providence or grace, according to his sovereign will and pleasure, without regard to the works and merits of men, their characters or circumstances:

nor taketh reward;
or bribes, to avert threatened and deserved judgments; see ( Job 36:18 Job 36:19 ) .

Deuteronomy 10:17 In-Context

15 et tamen patribus tuis conglutinatus est Dominus et amavit eos elegitque semen eorum post eos id est vos de cunctis gentibus sicut hodie conprobatur
16 circumcidite igitur praeputium cordis vestri et cervicem vestram ne induretis amplius
17 quia Dominus Deus vester ipse est Deus deorum et Dominus dominantium Deus magnus et potens et terribilis qui personam non accipit nec munera
18 facit iudicium pupillo et viduae amat peregrinum et dat ei victum atque vestitum
19 et vos ergo amate peregrinos quia et ipsi fuistis advenae in terra Aegypti
