Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 9:12-29.


Deuteronomy 9:18

_ _ I fell down before the Lord — The sudden and painful reaction which this scene of pagan revelry produced on the mind of the pious and patriotic leader can be more easily imagined than described. Great and public sins call for seasons of extraordinary humiliation, and in his deep affliction for the awful apostasy, he seems to have held a miraculous fast as long as before.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 9:7-29.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 9:18

I fell down — In a way of humiliation and supplication, on your behalf.
