The Exodus was a significant event, demonstrating God's power and faithfulness. The concern here is about God's reputation among the nations. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the reputation of a deity was often tied to the success of its people. If the Israelites failed to enter the Promised Land, it would reflect poorly on Yahweh's power and faithfulness.‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them This statement challenges God's omnipotence and faithfulness. The Promised Land, Canaan, was a central element of God's covenant with Abraham (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The failure to enter would suggest a breach of this covenant. This reflects a common theme in Scripture where God's ability and faithfulness are questioned, as seen in <a href="/numbers/14-16.htm">Numbers 14:16</a> and <a href="/joshua/7-9.htm">Joshua 7:9</a>. It underscores the importance of God's promises and His ability to fulfill them.and because He hated them This phrase suggests a misunderstanding of God's intentions. In Deuteronomy, God's love and choice of Israel are emphasized (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:7-8</a>). The accusation of hatred contrasts with the biblical narrative of God's steadfast love and covenant loyalty. This reflects a human tendency to misinterpret divine actions, especially in times of trial or judgment.He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’ The wilderness represents a place of testing and dependence on God. The Israelites' journey through the wilderness was marked by challenges and divine provision (Exodus 16-17). This accusation echoes the complaints of the Israelites themselves (<a href="/exodus/14-11.htm">Exodus 14:11-12</a>, <a href="/numbers/14-2.htm">Numbers 14:2-3</a>). It highlights the tension between human perception and divine purpose, as well as the recurring theme of testing and faith in the wilderness experience.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who delivered the Israelites from Egypt and promised them the land of Canaan. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> The chosen people of God, who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and were on their journey to the Promised Land. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_egyptians.htm">The Egyptians</a> The people who enslaved the Israelites and witnessed God's mighty acts during the Exodus. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_wilderness.htm">The Wilderness</a> The desert area where the Israelites wandered for 40 years due to their disobedience and lack of faith. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land (Canaan)</a> The land promised by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_vs._human_unbelief.htm">God's Faithfulness vs. Human Unbelief</a> Despite human failure, God's promises remain steadfast.

Were the Israelites to perish in the wilderness, the Egyptians might say that God had destroyed them, either because he was unable to obtain for them the land he had promised them, or because he had ceased to regard them with favor, and had become their enemy. Neither of these could be, for were they not the people of his inheritance, and had he not showed his power already in delivering them out of Egypt? As Moses in this chapter recalls to the remembrance of Israel this and that place, time, and occasion of their sinning, so should each one often seriously reflect on his past life. This conduces to humility, to watchfulness, and to effort at improvement (Herxheimer). <a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Otherwise, פֶּן־ (pen-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6435.htm">Strong's 6435: </a> Removal, lest those in the land הָאָרֶץ֮ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land from which אֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that you brought us out הוֹצֵאתָ֣נוּ (hō·w·ṣê·ṯā·nū) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singular | first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim will say, יֹאמְר֗וּ (yō·mə·rū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say ‘Because the LORD יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel was not מִבְּלִי֙ (mib·bə·lî) Preposition-m | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1097.htm">Strong's 1097: </a> Failure, nothing, destruction, without, not yet, because not, as long as able יְכֹ֣לֶת (yə·ḵō·leṯ) Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3201.htm">Strong's 3201: </a> To be able, have power to bring לַהֲבִיאָ֕ם (la·hă·ḇî·’ām) Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go them into אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the land הָאָ֖רֶץ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land He had promised them, דִּבֶּ֣ר (dib·ber) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue and because He hated וּמִשִּׂנְאָת֣וֹ (ū·miś·śin·’ā·ṯōw) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8135.htm">Strong's 8135: </a> Hating, hatred them, אוֹתָ֔ם (’ō·w·ṯām) Direct object marker | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case He has brought them out הוֹצִיאָ֖ם (hō·w·ṣî·’ām) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim to kill them לַהֲמִתָ֥ם (la·hă·mi·ṯām) Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4191.htm">Strong's 4191: </a> To die, to kill in the wilderness.’ בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ (bam·miḏ·bār) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4057.htm">Strong's 4057: </a> A pasture, a desert, speech <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">Deuteronomy 9:28 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/9-28.htm">OT Law: Deuteronomy 9:28 Lest the land whence you brought us (Deut.
