The Pulpit Commentary on Deuteronomy 10:20

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Reverting to his main theme, Moses anew exhorts Israel to fear Jehovah their God, and to show true reverence to him by serving him, by cleaving to him, and by swearing in his Name (cf. ; ; ).

Such reverence was due from Israel to God, because of the great things he had done for them, and those terrible acts by which his mighty power had been displayed on their behalf.
