Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Deu 13:17 - Multiply thee

So thou shalt have no loss of thy numbers by cutting off so many people.

JFB: Deu 13:12-18 - Certain men, the children of Belial

Lawless, designing demagogues (Jdg 19:22; 1Sa 1:16; 1Sa 25:25), who abused their influence to withdraw the inhabitants of the city to idol-worship.

JFB: Deu 13:17 - there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing to thine hand

No spoil shall be taken from a city thus solemnly devoted to destruction. Every living creature must be put to the sword--everything belonging to it reduced to ashes--that nothing but its infamy may remain.

Clarke: Deu 13:17 - And there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing

And there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing - As God did not permit them to take the spoils of these idolatrous cities, they could be under no temptation to make war upon them. It could only be done through a merely religious motive, in obedience to the command of God, as they could have no profit by the subversion of such places. How few religious wars would there ever have been in the world had they been regulated by this principle: "Thou shalt neither extend thy territory, nor take any spoils!"

Poole: Deu 13:17 - Of the cursed thing // And multiply thee

Of the cursed thing i.e. of the goods of that accursed city.

And multiply thee so thou shalt have no loss of thy numbers by cutting off so many people.

Haydock: Deu 13:17 - Hand

Hand. Thou shalt reserve nothing for thyself, (Menochius) as Achan did, Josue vii. (Haydock)

Gill: Deu 13:17 - And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand // that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger // and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee // and multiply thee, as he hath sworn to thy fathers

And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand,.... That is, they might not take anything whatever to their own use; for all being devoted to destruction, was cursed, and brought a curse upon the man that should make it his own property, as Achan did, when Jericho was destroyed:

that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger; stirred up by the idolatry of the city:

and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee; who, seeing wrath gone forth, might dread the consequences, lest it should spread itself further:

and multiply thee, as he hath sworn to thy fathers; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; this is observed to encourage them to execute his orders punctually in the destruction of the idolatrous city; since God could and would multiply them, as he had promised their fathers, with an oath, so that they should not be the fewer by such an instance of his severity.
