Context of Deuteronomy 1:33
31and in the wilderness where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place. 32But In this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God, who went in the way before you, to search you out a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day. 34And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying, 35None among these men, this evil generation, shall in any wise see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers!

Commentaries on Deuteronomy 1:33
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-46Verses 19-46 Moses reminds the Israelites of their march from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, through that great and terrible wilderness. He shows how near they were to a happy settlement in Canaan. It will aggravate the eternal ruin of hypocrites, that they were not far from the kingdom of God. As if it were not enough that they were sure of their God before them, they would send men before them. Never any looked into the Holy Land, but they must own it to be a…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 33Sometimes God showed his presence in visible ways. These appearances are called theophanies (visible signs that God is present). The pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud were examples of this. These signs assured the people that God was with them and that he was powerful. When the pillar moved ahead, the people followed. They trusted that God would lead them safely to their destination (Exodus 13:21–22; 14:24; Psalm 18:9–10).Read the comment
