Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:1-33

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.

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

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Deuteronomy 5:20

Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour — Have you not been guilty of evil-speaking? Of needlessly repeating the real fault of your neighbour? If I see a man do an evil thing, and tell it to another, unless from a full and clear conviction, that it is necessary to mention it just then, for the glory of God, the safety or good of some other person, or for the benefit of him that hath done amiss; and unless I then do... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:6-21

REPETITION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, Deuteronomy 5:6-21. Here, on the plains of Moab, in sight of the Land of Promise, thirty-eight years after the first announcement of the law on Sinai, Moses repeats the code which Jehovah had given for the moral guidance of his people. There are variations in language, but not such as to change the meaning of a single commandment. We may suppose that in Exodus we have an exact copy of the law as written on the tables of stone. Here the substance is given in... read more
