Context — Moses Appoints Leaders
16At that time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
17Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
18And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.
19And just as the LORD our God had commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites, through all the vast and terrifying wilderness you have seen. When we reached Kadesh-barnea, 20I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.Cross References

Deuteronomy 1:18 Summary
This verse means that Moses gave the people specific instructions on what to do, which were based on God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 4:1 and Exodus 19:7. These instructions were important for the people to follow so they could obey God and live according to His will, as emphasized in Deuteronomy 8:1 and Leviticus 26:14. Just like the Israelites, we need to listen to and follow God's commands in our own lives, as seen in Proverbs 29:18 and Matthew 28:20, and trust that He will guide us and provide for us, as promised in Psalm 32:8 and Jeremiah 29:11. By following God's commands, we can experience His blessing and live a life that honors Him, as seen in Psalm 119:1-3 and 1 John 2:3-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that Moses commanded the people all the things they were to do?
This refers to the instructions and laws that God had given to Moses to pass on to the Israelites, as seen in Deuteronomy 4:1 and Exodus 19:7, which would guide their actions and decisions as a community of faith.
Why is it significant that Moses reminded the people of these commands?
Moses reminded the people of these commands to emphasize their importance and to encourage obedience, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:1 and Leviticus 26:14, which would ultimately determine their success in the Promised Land.
How does this verse relate to the concept of leadership in the Bible?
This verse highlights Moses' role as a leader and mediator between God and the people, as seen in Exodus 18:13 and Numbers 27:18, demonstrating the importance of spiritual leadership in guiding God's people according to His will and commands, such as in 1 Timothy 4:13 and 2 Timothy 4:2.
What can we learn from Moses' example in this verse?
We can learn the importance of clear communication, obedience to God's commands, and leadership that prioritizes God's will, as seen in Proverbs 29:18 and Matthew 28:20, which are essential for spiritual growth and success, as emphasized in Joshua 1:8 and Psalm 119:105.
Reflection Questions
- What are some commands or instructions that God has given to me through His Word, and how can I apply them to my life today?
- In what ways can I, like Moses, be a faithful leader or mediator in my own sphere of influence, whether at home, work, or church, and how can I prioritize God's will in my decision-making, as seen in 1 Corinthians 11:1 and Philippians 4:9?
- How can I balance the need for clear guidance and instruction with the importance of personal responsibility and obedience, as seen in Romans 10:17 and Hebrews 5:14?
- What are some ways that I can, like the Israelites, be reminded of God's commands and promises on a regular basis, such as through prayer, Bible study, or worship, as encouraged in Psalm 119:11 and Colossians 3:16?
Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 1:18
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do. Delivered to them all the laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, which were then given him at Mount Sinai.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 1:18
And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: I spake unto you at that time - a little before their arrival in Horeb.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:18
I delivered unto you, and especially unto your judges, all the laws, statues, and judgments revealed unto me by the Lord in Horeb.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:18
(18) And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.—“At that time,” i.e., after your departure from Horeb. This is as much as to say that the exhortations given in Deuteronomy had already been given on the way from Sinai to Kadesh-barnea. (Comp. what has been said above on the two first verses of this chapter.) This verse goes far to justify the view taken there.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 1:18
