Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hear, O Israel,.... A pause being made after the delivery of the preceding discourse; or perhaps what follows might be delivered at another time, at some little distance; and which being of moment and importance to the glory of God, and that Israel might have a true notion of their duty, they are called upon to listen with attention to what was now about to be said:
thou art to pass over Jordan this day; not precisely that very day, but in a short time after this; for it was on the first day of the eleventh month that Moses began the repetition of the laws he was now going on with, Deuteronomy 1:3, and it was not until the tenth day of the first month of the next year that the people passed over Jordan, Joshua 4:19 which was about two months after this:
to go in and possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; the seven nations named Deuteronomy 7:1 where the same characters are given of them:
cities great and fenced up to heaven; as they were said to be by the spies, Deuteronomy 1:28, and were no doubt both large and strongly fortified, and not to be easily taken by the Israelites, had not the Lord been with them, Deuteronomy 9:3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lesson of this chapter is exactly that of Ephesians 2:8, “By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”
In referring to their various rebellions, Moses here, as elsewhere, has regard not so much for the order of time as to that of subject. (Compare Deuteronomy 1:9-15 note.) Such reasons as convenience and fitness to his argument sufficiently explain the variations observable when the statements of this chapter are minutely compared with those of Exo. 32–34. In these variations we have simply such treatment of facts as is usual and warrantable between parties personally acquainted with the matters.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER IX
The people are informed that they shall shortly pass over
Jordan, and that God shall go over before them, to expel the
ancient inhabitants, 1-3.
They are cautioned not to suppose that it is on account of their
righteousness that God is to give them that land, 4-6.
They are exhorted to remember their various provocations of the
Divine Majesty, especially at Horeb, 7-14;
and how Moses interceded for them, and destroyed the golden
calf, 15-21.
How they murmured at Taberah, 22;
and rebelled at Kadesh-barnea, 23;
and had been perverse from the beginning, 24.
An account of the intercession of Moses in their behalf, 25-29.
NOTES ON CHAP. IX
Verse Deuteronomy 9:1. Thou art to pass over Jordan this day — היום haiyom, this time; they had come thirty-eight years before this nearly to the verge of the promised land, but were not permitted at that day or time to pass over, because of their rebellions; but this time they shall certainly pass over. This was spoken about the eleventh month of the fortieth year of their journeying, and it was on the first month of the following year they passed over; and during this interim Moses died.
