Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 5:6
6-20. I am the Lord thy God—The word "Lord" is expressive of authority or dominion; and God, who by natural claim as well as by covenant relation was entitled to exercise supremacy over His people Israel, had a sovereign right to establish laws for their government. [See on :-.] The commandments which follow are, with a few slight verbal alterations, the same as formerly recorded ( :-), and in some of them there is a distinct reference to that promulgation. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 5:1-6
Introduction 5:1-6The covenant to which Moses referred (Deuteronomy 5:2) is not the Abrahamic but the Mosaic Covenant. What follows is an upgrade of the Mosaic Covenant for the new generation about to enter the Promised Land. The "fathers" (Deuteronomy 5:3) were the previous generation. "Face to face" (Deuteronomy 5:4) is a figure of speech indicating direct communication, without a mediator. God uttered the Ten Commandments in the hearing of all the Israelites (Deuteronomy 5:22). This... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 5:1-33
IV. MOSES’ SECOND MAJOR ADDRESS: AN EXPOSITION OF THE LAW CHS. 5-26". . . Deuteronomy contains the most comprehensive body of laws in the Pentateuch. It is clearly intended to be consulted for guidance on many aspects of daily life, in sharp contrast with the laws of Leviticus, which are very restricted in scope and mainly concern the functions of the priesthood." [Note: R. Norman Whybray, Introduction to the Pentateuch, pp. 103-4.] "Two of the major elements [in ancient Near Eastern covenant... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 5:7
The first commandment 5:7Because God had initiated love toward Israel by redeeming the nation (Deuteronomy 5:6), the people were to respond appropriately by loving Him in return. This is the essence of God’s grace. He initiates love, and the only reasonable response is to love Him for what He has done (cf. Romans 12:1-2). God does not just love us when we love Him. More fundamentally, He loves us first (cf. Romans 5:10; Ephesians 1:4-5; 1 John 4:19). In the game of love, God always makes the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 5:8-10
The second commandment 5:8-10This commandment is a prohibition against making images or likenesses of Yahweh. God forbade idolatry itself in the first commandment. This commandment was necessary for at least three reasons.1. Any material representation of the Lord slanders Him. He is greater than anything humans can conceive in our minds let alone make with our hands. 2. By making and using images of Yahweh the worshipper would gain a sense of control over Him. God is the Creator, and we are... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:1-33
The Repetition of the DecalogueThis chapter repeats the Law of the Ten Commandments given on Mt. Sinai with the circumstances of its delivery: see Exodus 20, and the notes there.3. Their fathers who had heard the Law given at Sinai were actually dead. But as the covenant had been made not with individuals, but with the nation of Israel, Moses could say that it was made not with our fathers, but with us. The expression is really equivalent to ’not only with our fathers but also with... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 5:6
(6) I am the Lord thy God.—It should never be forgotten that this sentence is an integral part of the Decalogue, and also the first part. The declaration of Divine relationship, with all that it implies—the covenanted adoption of Israel by Jehovah—precedes all the requirements of the Law. The Law is, therefore, primarily a covenant in the strictest sense. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:1-33
4:44-11:32 BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF THE COVENANTIn the address just concluded, Moses outlined God’s dealings with Israel in the past, and on the basis of this urged Israel to be obedient in the future. He now called a second meeting, this time to ‘renew’ the covenant, not in the ceremonial sense but in the practical sense. That is, he reawakened the people to their responsibilities under the covenant. He recalled the events when the covenant was made at Sinai (4:44-5:5), he repeated the basic... read more
