Num. 20:1• ¹Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there. (Num. 20:1)

Num. 33:38• ³⁸And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the Lord, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month. (Num. 33:38)

• Thus, not only have we both time and place set forth with divine precision and minuteness, but we also learn, from the words just quoted {v.3}, that the communications made to the people, in the plains of Moab, were very far indeed from being a repetition....Of this we have further and very distinct proof in a passage in chapter 29 of the book on which we are now entering. “These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.” (“Introduction” by C.H.

• True, the Greek title of the book, signifying the law a second time, might seem to give rise to the idea of its being a mere recapitulation of what has gone before; but we may rest assured it is not so.

The grand lesson which it inculcates from first to last, is obedience, and that, too, not in the mere letter, but in the spirit of love and fear — an obedience grounded upon a known and enjoyed relationship — an obedience quickened by the sense of moral obligations of the weightiest and most influential character. (“Introduction” by C.H. Mackintosh)

• Moses gave the people just what he himself had received from God, nothing more, nothing less. He brought them into direct contact with the living word of Jehovah. This is the grand principle of ministry at all times. (“Deuteronomy 1” by C.H. Mackintosh)
