Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:1-21

the Decalogue Repeated Deuteronomy 5:1-21 The Law of God is for “ all Israel.” None are exempt. “Not with our fathers” means not with them only; Moses also uses the expression because many of the references of the Decalogue were to the settled life of Canaan. “Face to face,” not in dark visions, but clearly and lucidly, Job 4:12-13 . Our “face-to-face” vision is yet to come, 1 Corinthians 13:12 ; Revelation 22:4 . Notice in Deuteronomy 5:5 the ideal mediator, Galatians 3:19 ; 1 Timothy 2:5... read more

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:3

TWO GENERATIONS‘The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.’ Deuteronomy 5:3 I. God’s Word is living, and always keeps pace with his people.—Many seem to have a notion that the Bible is out of date, old-fashioned, behind the times, and that the present generation needs something more advanced. The Bible, instead of being behind the times, is always in advance of them, and so far in advance on some lines that some of its... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:1-5

Moses Emphasises That The Covenant Was Not Only Given To Their Fathers But Was Given Also Directly To Them Out Of The Midst of The Fire (Deuteronomy 5:1-5 ). Moses now repeats briefly what he has already said in his previous speech. We note here that this directly connects back to Deuteronomy 4:10-14, and that Moses wants them to see the covenant words as directly addressed to them. Analysis. a All Israel are called together (at the Tabernacle). Then Moses says, “Listen and take heed, O... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:1-21

Deuteronomy 5:1-Ecclesiastes : . Yahweh’ s covenant ( Deuteronomy 4:13 *) with Israel at Horeb ( Deuteronomy 1:2 *) and its obligations ( Deuteronomy 5:6-Ecclesiastes :). With D’ s version of the Decalogue ( Deuteronomy 5:6-Ecclesiastes :) compare the earlier form in Exodus 20:1-Esther : * (E). Wellhausen is wrong in holding that there is a third (an older) version in Exodus 34:10-Ezekiel :. The following are the principal characteristics of Dt.’ s rendering: ( a) There are hortatory... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 5:3

With our fathers; either, 1. Not only with them, the word only being here understood, as it is Genesis 32:28; Genesis 35:10; 1 Samuel 8:7; Jeremiah 7:19; Jeremiah 31:34; Matthew 9:13. Or, 2. Not at all with them. But then the word covenant is not here to be taken for the covenant of grace in general, for so it was made with their fathers, Exodus 2:24, but for this particular and mixed dispensation of the covenant at Sinai, as appears both by the foregoing and following words. All of us here... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:1-33

CRITICAL REMARKS.—The Deuteronomy, or second law, is now given and enforced. But Moses refers to the covenant relation between Jehovah and Israel, and recapitulates the Sinaitic code in its most important features.Deuteronomy 5:1. Moses called marks the publicity and importance of the address.Deuteronomy 5:2. Our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; but with the nation as an organic whole, those identified with the people who entered into the covenant at Sinai.Deuteronomy 5:4 Face to face, not... read more

Now to chapter 5.AND Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the judgments, that you may learn them, and keep them, and do them ( Deuteronomy 5:1 ).So these three things; you're to learn them, you're to do them and to keep them.The LORD made a covenant with you ( Deuteronomy 5:2 )A conditional covenant.

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 5:1-33

Deuteronomy 5:4 . The Lord talked with you face to face. That is, as the Chaldaic reads, talked to us, without a mediator; but literally, they saw no similitude. His voice was loud, for all the nation heard; at least, if they did not distinctly hear the words, they heard the thunder, and saw the appearance of devouring flames. How mild is the aspect of the gospel compared with the terrors of the law! Exodus 19:20. Deuteronomy 5:29 . Oh that there were such a heart in them. No father... read more
