REVIEW OF THE LAWS THE LESSONS OF SINAI (Deuteronomy 4:0 ) What makes a nation wise and understanding (Deuteronomy 4:6 )? What makes a nation great (Deuteronomy 4:7-8 )?

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:23-27

How much of gospel is in these verses! And how in these early ages was the great doctrine of a Mediator shadowed forth, even in the dispensation of the law! Reader! pause over the perusal of the fears and consternations which are so natural in a guilty mind. Depend upon it, in all ages, they have been, and ever must be, the same. Think then, in this view, what a precious and invaluable thing it must he, in the hour of GOD'S tremendous judgments, to have an advocate with the FATHER, JESUS CHRIST... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:25

Die. Past experience did not entirely remove from them the fear which was so generally entertained, that the sight of the heavenly beings would prove destructive. So Daniel (chap. x. 17) said on a similar occasion, my breath is stopped. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:23-33

23-33 Moses refers to the consternation caused by the terror with which the law was given. God's appearances have always been terrible to man, ever since the fall; but Christ, having taken away sin, invites us to come boldly to the throne of grace. They were in a good mind, under the strong convictions of the word they heard. Many have their consciences startled by the law who have them not purified; fair promises are extorted from them, but no good principles are fixed and rooted in them. God... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 5:22-33

Admonition to Heed the Law v. 22. These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, Exodus 19:16-Psalms :; and He added no more, only the Decalogue was given in this manner. And He wrote them in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me, Exodus 24:12; Exodus 31:18. v. 23. And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:22-33

Moses between God and the People Deuteronomy 5:22-33 “He added no more”- i.e., the Law is perfect. It is written in stone, and therefore is permanent. When the conscience has not learned the efficacy of the blood of Jesus it shrinks from contact with God’s holiness, Deuteronomy 5:24-26 . But such fear does not save us from going back to our calf-making and license. Turn from Moses to our blessed Lord, who went into the middle of the thunder and lightning which our sin had incurred. On Him... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 5:1-33

Continuing the introductory part of the great discourse, Moses called on all Israel to attend to "statutes and judgments." In addition to these words, he later employed the word "testimonies." The three words occur together later ( Deu 6:20 ). "Testimonies" are the actual words of the law given. "Statutes" are the provisions for worship and the conduct that harmonizes therewith. "Judgments" deal with the arrangements for the administration of justice. Moses first repeated the ten words of the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:22-28

The Context of the Giving of the Covenant and The People’s Fear (Deuteronomy 5:22-28 ). Having repeated the covenant he now sought to emphasise again the circumstances under which it was given. The twofold repetition of this before and after the basic covenant itself demonstrates how concerned he was to ensure that they recognised the solemnity of the covenant. See also Deuteronomy 4:10-24; Deuteronomy 4:33. (Except when clearly used in words to Moses, when ‘thou, thee’ is used, which may be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 5:25

Why should we die? for though God hath for this season kept us alive to our admiration, yet we shall never be able to endure any further discourse from him in such a terrible manner, but shall certainly sink under the burden of it. Compare Genesis 16:13; Judges 6:22. read more
