Commentary on Deuteronomy 4:20

Theological / Devotional

The iron furnace. In 1 Kings 8:51 and Jer. 11:4 this figure of speech is used to denote harsh servitude. Isaiah defines the disciplinary experiences under God’s hand as a process of refining in a furnace (Isa. 48:10; see also Job 23:10).

People of inheritance. Or, “his own inheritance” (see ch. 32:9).
