Komentaryo sa Deuteronomio 4:38: Rashi, Chizkuni, Ibn Ezra & Sforno

לְהוֹרִ֗ישׁ גּוֹיִ֛ם גְּדֹלִ֧ים וַעֲצֻמִ֛ים מִמְּךָ֖ מִפָּנֶ֑יךָ לַהֲבִֽיאֲךָ֗ לָֽתֶת־לְךָ֧ אֶת־אַרְצָ֛ם נַחֲלָ֖ה כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃

upang palayasin mula sa iyong harapan ang mga bansang mas dakila at mas makapangyarihan kaysa sa iyo, upang dalhin ka at ibigay sa iyo ang kanilang lupain bilang mana, gaya ng sa araw na ito.

Rashi

ממך מפניך — Invert it (the order of the words) and then explain it accordingly: to dispossess from before thee (מפניך) nations greater and mightier than thee (ממך)

Ibn Ezra

this day This phrase can denote the future, if it is taken to mean, “ close to this day”. Actually, though, it refers to the conquest of the two Amorite kingdoms. Reuven, Gad, and half of Menasheh can certainly be called “Israel”, just as Scripture states elsewhere: “as Israel did to the land of his inheritance” [2: 12] After having said that “God is God; there is none beside Him” [: 35], Scripture proceeds to elaborate why He must be honored. The evidence of one’s own eyes forms the premise of the argument. Any clear-headed, unbiased person must realize from the evidence that God alone is God: in heaven above (i.e., above man) and upon the earth beneath (i.e., beneath man. Man is the standard of comparison, as in “The skies above you will be like brass…” [28: 23]). You, having seen all these wonders, having impressed it upon your hearts, must keep his commandments. Moreover, they are good for you, and for your children after you.
