Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:22-23

THE MEDIATORSHIP OF MOSESDeuteronomy 5:22-23AFTER the ten commandments, Deuteronomy, like Exodus, next indicates that for all of legislation, exhortation, and advice that follows, Moses was to be the mediator between God and the people. He is represented as Yahweh’s prophet or speaker in all that succeeds; the Decalogue alone is set forth as the direct Divine command. Evidently a great distinction is here notified, and what it exactly was may be best explained by reference to the history of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:1-33

A REVIEW OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (vs.1-22) At the beginning of the wilderness journey God had given Israel the ten commandments. Now at the end of the journey it was necessary that these same commandments should be strongly pressed upon them. They were now to enter the land, but were to have no smug thoughts of so having obtained what was promised them that they would be able to relax and ignore the laws of God. Moses, now at the age of 120 years, had not declined in the energy of his... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:22

What a lively representation is here given, in this verse, of the terrors of the law! Oh! how sweet and precious is it to a soul, truly distressed, under the terrors of a broken law, to hear the mild and soul-reviving language of the gospel. Reader! have you ever entered, by faith in a dear Redeemer, into the full meaning and enjoyment of what the apostle saith, Ye are not come to the mount that burned with fire. Hebrews 12:18 . read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:22

More to the people: the other precepts were communicated to Moses. The Chaldean and others give a contrary turn to the Hebrew, "and he ceased not" ever since to instruct us. (Calmet) --- Moses gives the sense, not the very words of the decalogue, in which he is not guilty of any lie. (St. Augustine, q. 8.) (Du Hamel) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:6-22

6-22 There is some variation here from Deuteronomy 5:20 as between the Lord's prayer in Deuteronomy 5:6 and Deuteronomy 5:11. It is more necessary that we tie ourselves to the things, than to the words unalterably. The original reason for hallowing the sabbath, taken from God's resting from the work of creation on the seventh day, is not here mentioned. Though this ever remains in force, it is not the only reason. Here it is taken from Israel's deliverance out of Egypt; for that was typical of... 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
