Cross-References

Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments,.... Not the ten commandments repeated in the preceding chapter, but all others, whether moral, ceremonial, or judicial, afterwards declared; for what Moses now did was only to give a repetition and fresh declaration of such laws as he had before received, and delivered to the people; and so the Targum of Jonathan thus paraphrases this clause,

"this is a declaration of the commandments, statutes, and judgments:''

which the Lord your God commanded to teach you; that is, which he commanded him, Moses, to teach them, though not fully expressed, as may be learned from Deuteronomy 4:1

that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it; this is often observed, to imprint upon their minds a sense of their duty, even of obedience to the laws of God, which they were carefully and diligently to perform in the land of Canaan they were going into, and by which they were to hold their possession of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Moses proceeds to set forth more particularly and to enforce the cardinal and essential doctrines of the Decalogue, the nature and attributes of God, and the fitting mode of honoring and worshipping Him. Two objects are indicated Deuteronomy 6:2-3, the glory of God and the welfare of man, as the grand aims that he has in view.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VI

The great design of God in giving his laws is, that the people

may fear and obey him, that they may continue in peace and

prosperity, and be mightily increased, 1-3.

The great commandment of the law, 4, 5,

which shall be laid up in their hearts, 6;

taught to their children, 7;

and affixed as a sign to their hands, heads, doors, and gates,

8, 9.

How they are to act when they shall come into the promised land,

10-19.

How they shall instruct their children, and relate the history

to them of God's wonderful acts, 29-25.

NOTES ON CHAP. VI

Verse Deuteronomy 6:1. Now these are the commandments, c. — See the difference between commandments, statutes, judgments, &c., pointed out, Leviticus 26:15.

Do them] That is, live in the continual practice of them for by this they were to be distinguished from all the nations of the world, and all these were to be in force till the Son of God should come. Whither ye go. עברים oberim, whither ye pass over, referring to the river Jordan, across which they must pass to get into Canaan.
