This
Book repeats much of the history and of the laws
contained in the three foregoing books:
Moses delivered it to
Israel a little before his
Death, both
By Word of mouth, that it
might affect, and
By Writing, that it might abide. The men of
that
Generation to which the
Law was first given were all dead,
and a new
Generation was sprung up, to whom
God would have it
repeated
By Moses himself, now they were going to possess the
land of
Canaan. The wonderful
Love of
God to his
Church is set
forth in this
Book; how he ever preserved his
Church for his own
mercies sake, and would still have his name called upon among
them. Such are the general outlines of this
Book, the whole of
which shows
Moses'
Love for
Israel, and marks him an eminent
Type of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Let us apply the exhortations and
persuasions to our own consciences, to excite our minds to a
believing, grateful obedience to the commands of
God.
