5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
5 Thus the Lord became king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
5 Thus God became king in Jeshurun as the leaders and tribes of Israel gathered.
5 And He was King in Jeshurun, When the leaders of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together.
5 The Lord became king in Israel - when the leaders of the people assembled, when the tribes of Israel gathered as one."
26 "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides across the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
26 "There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides through the heavens to your help, through the skies in his majesty.
26 There is none like God, Jeshurun, riding to your rescue through the skies, his dignity haloed by clouds.
26 "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you, And in His excellency on the clouds.
26 "There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor.
(Read Deuteronomy 33:26-29)
None had such a God as Israel. There is no people like the Israel of God. What is here said of the church of Israel is to be applied to the spiritual church. Never were people so well seated and sheltered. Those who make God their habitation, shall have all the comforts and benefits of a habitation in him, Romans 16:20. May God help us to seek and to set our affections on the things above; and to turn our souls from earthly perishing objects; that we may not have our lot with Israel's foes in the regions of darkness and despair, but with the Israel of God, in the realms of love and eternal happiness.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:5
Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:1-5
(Read Deuteronomy 33:1-5)
To all his precepts, warnings, and prophecies, Moses added a solemn blessing. He begins with a description of the glorious appearances of God, in giving the law. His law works like fire. If received, it is melting, warming, purifying, and burns up the dross of corruption; if rejected, it hardens, sears, pains, and destroys. The Holy Spirit came down in cloven tongues, as of fire; for the gospel also is a fiery law. The law of God written in the heart, is a certain proof of the love of God shed abroad there: we must reckon His law one of the gifts of his grace.
