Commentary on Deuteronomy 23:9

Theological / Devotional

From every wicked thing. Strictness in respect to physical cleanliness and purity of life is here admonished. As an army on the march, a large body of men cut off from normal social relations has many temptations to lower standards of conduct. The condition of Israel before God was much more important than her military preparations for meeting the enemy. God could not consistently lead a faithless, unclean people to victory.
