Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself.--It must be carefully observed that this is the aspect of the covenant which makes Jehovah responsible for the fulfilment of the whole. "He takes all this trouble for the sake of establishing thee in His presence for a people" (Rashi). The people's part, as described in this verse, is only to accept the position. And thus the covenant of Deuteronomy 29 is brought into the closest similarity with that which is called the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8; the form of which is "I will" be to them a God, and "they shall" be to me a people. God undertakes for the people's part of the covenant as well as His own. In Deuteronomy the first half of the New Covenant appears here in Deuteronomy 29, "that He may be unto thee a God." The second part appears in Deuteronomy 30:6-8, "The Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart . . . to love the Lord thy God."Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewand so thatלְמַ֣עַן (lə·ma·‘an)ConjunctionStrong's 4616: Purpose -- intentHe may establishהָקִֽים־ (hā·qîm-)Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 6965: To arise, stand up, standyouאֹתְךָ֩ (’ō·ṯə·ḵā)Direct object marker | second person masculine singularStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative casetodayהַיּ֨וֹם ׀ (hay·yō·wm)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3117: A dayas His people,לְעָ֗ם (lə·‘ām)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flockand Heוְה֤וּא (wə·hū)Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, aremay beיִֽהְיֶה־ (yih·yeh-)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, beyour Godלֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים (lê·lō·hîm)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeasכַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר (ka·’ă·šer)Preposition-k | Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatHe promisedדִּבֶּר־ (dib·ber-)Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1696: To arrange, to speak, to subdueyouלָ֑ךְ (lāḵ)Preposition | second person masculine singularStrong's Hebrew and asוְכַאֲשֶׁ֤ר (wə·ḵa·’ă·šer)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-k | Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatHe sworeנִשְׁבַּע֙ (niš·ba‘)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7650: To seven oneself, swearto your fathers,לַאֲבֹתֶ֔יךָ (la·’ă·ḇō·ṯe·ḵā)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 1: FatherAbraham,לְאַבְרָהָ֥ם (lə·’aḇ·rā·hām)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 85: Abraham -- 'exalted father', the father of the Jewish nationIsaac,לְיִצְחָ֖ק (lə·yiṣ·ḥāq)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3327: Isaac -- 'he laughs', son of Abraham and Sarahand Jacob.וּֽלְיַעֲקֹֽב׃ (ū·lə·ya·‘ă·qōḇ)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3290: Jacob -- a son of Isaac, also his descJump to PreviousAbraham Confirm Establish Isaac Jacob Oath Order Promised Sware Swore Sworn Today To-Day
