Deuteronomy 32
He Kept Him As The Apple Of His Eye
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. —Deuteronomy 32:10 (KJV)
Found Him In A Desert Land (v. 10)
A Waste Howling Wilderness (v. 10)
- Took him into a covenant relation at Sinai, or rather "sustained," "provided for him" in a desert land. Israel is the "apple of his eye"
- A common southeastern Asia expression for a desert infested by wild beasts.
Moses' Song
Part of God's plan was His promise to make Abraham the father of a great people. God has always remained faithful to his covenant with Abraham and the people of Israel (they are the "apple of his eye" especially David—later on). Another truth in God's promise is Moses never saw the Promise Land even though God used Moses to lead his people out of Egypt—it was Moses' punishment for disobeying God.
Moses’ Song Sets Forth The Perfections of God
- The accusation: The child, Israel, has forsaken its father (Deuteronomy 32:5-6)
- Moses recounts God's past faithfulness to Israel (Deuteronomy 32:7-14)
- Israel responded to God's kindness with apostasy (Deuteronomy 32:15-18)
- God's reaction: Withdrawal from and punishment of Israel (Deuteronomy 32:19-27)
- The LORD states His case and makes a plea unto Israel (Deuteronomy 32:28-43)
