deuteronomy-5:33

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:23-33

23-33 Moses refers to the consternation caused by the terror with which the law was given. God's appearances have always been terrible to man, ever since the fall; but Christ, having taken away sin, invites us to come boldly to the throne of grace. They were in a good mind, under the strong convictions of the word they heard. Many have their consciences startled by the law who have them not purified; fair promises are extorted from them, but no good principles are fixed and rooted in them. God... 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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:22-33

Moses between God and the People Deuteronomy 5:22-33 “He added no more”- i.e., the Law is perfect. It is written in stone, and therefore is permanent. When the conscience has not learned the efficacy of the blood of Jesus it shrinks from contact with God’s holiness, Deuteronomy 5:24-26 . But such fear does not save us from going back to our calf-making and license. Turn from Moses to our blessed Lord, who went into the middle of the thunder and lightning which our sin had incurred. On Him... 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 5:33

THE RIGHT WALK‘Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.’ Deuteronomy 5:33 I. One of these clauses is commonly said to enjoin a duty, the other to promise the blessings which those might confidently look for who performed it. This is not a satisfactory definition. Moses teaches his countrymen that God has conferred upon them the highest,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:32-33

Final Comment (Deuteronomy 5:32-33 ). Having fully described what had happened at Sinai/Horeb Moses now adds his own final comments. They are to observe and do what Yahweh has commanded without any diversions from it, and they are to walk in the way in which Yahweh has commanded them to live so that it might be well with them and they might have long life in the land which they will shortly possess (and some already possess). Analysis. · They were to observe to do what Yahweh their God had... read more

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

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:33

Deuteronomy 5:33 I. One of these clauses is commonly said to enjoin a duty, the other to promise the blessings which those might confidently look for who performed it. This is not a satisfactory definition. Moses teaches his countrymen that God has conferred upon them the highest prize which man can conceive, freely and without any merit on their part. Was the knowledge of the living and unseen God nothing in itself, but only valuable in virtue of some results that were to come of it? Moses... read more

They have well said all that they have spoken: O that there were such an heart in them!THE further we proceed in the investigation of our Liturgy, the more we feel the difficulty of doing justice to it. Such is the spirit which it breathes throughout, that if only a small measure of its piety existed in all the different congregations in which it is used, we should be as holy and as happy a people as ever the Jews were in the most... read more
