Commentary on Deuteronomy 6:12

Theological / Devotional

Beware. Verses 10-12 stood as a warning to Israel when they entered a land in which all the good things of life were abundantly supplied. They were not to become so engrossed with their new possessions as to forget their duties to God. With the increase of material goods there is ever the tendency to “forget the Lord,” by whose power these things are secured (ch. 8:18).

The house of bondage. Literally, “the house of slaves.” Here their former place of abode, Egypt, is referred to as a “house.”
