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

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

In the destruction of the first world there were clouds--in the destruction of Sodom there was... read more
