Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 9:12-29.


Deuteronomy 9:25

_ _ Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first — After the enumeration of various acts of rebellion, he had mentioned the outbreak at Kadesh-barnea, which, on a superficial reading of this verse, would seem to have led Moses to a third and protracted season of humiliation. But on a comparison of this passage with Numbers 14:5, the subject and language of this prayer show that only the second act of intercession (Deuteronomy 9:18) is now described in fuller detail.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 9:7-29.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 9:25

I fell down forty days — The same as were mentioned before, Deuteronomy 9:18, as appears by comparing this with Exodus, where this history is more fully related, and where this is said to be done twice only.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Deuteronomy 9:25

Thus I fell down before the LORD (o) forty days and forty nights, as I fell down [at the first]; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

(o) By which is signified that God requires earnest continuance in prayer.
