International Sunday School Lesson

That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:

Deuteronomy 29:12

Quotes & Notes on: Deuteronomy 29:12

John Wesley's Notes:
Into covenant and into his oath-Into covenant, confirmed by a solemn oath.
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge:
* thou shouldest. De 5:2,3; Ex 19:5,6; Jos 24:25; 2Ki 11:17; 2Ch 15:12-15
* enter. Heb. pass.
This is an allusion to the solemn ceremony used by several
ancient nations, when they entered into a covenant with each
other. The victims, slain as a sacrifice on this occasion,
were divided, and and parts laid asunder: the contracting
parties then passed between them, imprecating, as a curse on
those who violated the sacred compact, that they might in like
manner be cut asunder. (Ge 15:10.) St. Cyril, in his work
against Julian, shows that passing between the divided parts
of a victim was used also among the Chaldeans and other
people.

* into his oath. De 29:14; 2Ch 15:12-15; Ne 10:28,29
Adam Clarke's Commentary:
That thou shouldest enter] rbel leaber, to pass through, that is, between the separated parts of the covenant sacrifice. See ACC for Ge 15:18.

And into his oath] Thus we find that in a covenant were these seven particulars: 1. The parties about to contract were considered as being hitherto separated. 2. They now agree to enter into a state of close and permanent amity. 3. They meet together in a solemn manner for this purpose. 4. A sacrifice is offered to God on the occasion, for the whole is a religious act. 5. The victim is separated exactly into two equal parts, the separation being in the direction of the spine; and those parts are laid opposite to each other, sufficient room being allowed for the contracting parties to pass between them. 6. The contracting parties meet in the victim, and the conditions of the covenant by which they are to be mutually bound are recited. 7. An oath is taken by these parties that they shall punctually and faithfully perform their respective conditions, and thus the covenant is made and ratified. See Jer 34:18,19, and Clarke's notes on "Ge 6:18"; "Ge 15:18"; "Ex 29:45"; Le 26:44,45.
Family Bible Notes:
Enter into covenant; by engaging to obey him; on the fulfilment of which engagements he promised to bless them.

The course taken by parents deeply affects their children for both worlds, and may be a means of their salvation or of their destruction.
1599 Geneva Bible Notes:
That thou shouldest (g) enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:

(g) Alluding to them, that when they made a sure covenant, divided a beast in two, and past between the parts divided, Ge 15:10.

MOVED!

I have been appointed to serve Briensburg & Mt. Carmel United Methodist Churches as of June 22, 2004. Although I miss everyone at Spence Chapel UMC very much, Cheryl and I are also enjoying becoming a part these two wonderful faith communities with their wonderful people and ministries.
