Deuteronomy 5:6-7

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

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. They're keeping His law; they're doing His commandments.The LORD talked with you face to face. (and I stood between the LORD and you at the time, to show... 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

Deuteronomy 5:6I am the Lord thy God.The mission of lawIn a general sense law is the manner in which an act shall be performed. In civil life it is a legislative declaration how a citizen shall act; in morals it is a rule of conduct proceeding from one who has the right to rule, and directed to those who have the ability to obey. In this sense laws are mandatory, prohibitory, permissive, according to the object to be obtained, commanding what shall be done, forbidding what shall not be done,... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 5:7

Deuteronomy 5:7Thou shalt have none other gods before Me.Our duty towards GodThe word “gods” in this passage may be regarded as denoting not only the various objects of religions worship, but also all the objects of supreme regard, affection, or esteem. To acknowledge Jehovah as our God is to love Him supremely, to fear before Him with all the heart, and to serve Him throughout all our days in absolute preference to every other being. As this is the only true, natural, and proper acknowledgment... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:6

Deu 5:6 I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Ver. 6. I am the Lord, &c. ] See Trapp on " Exo 20:1 " &c It is well observed by a reverend writer, a that the two tables of the law are in their object answerable to the two natures of Christ. For God is the object of the one, man of the other: and as they meet together in the person of Christ, so must they be united in the affections of a Christian. a Mr Ley’s Pattern of... read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Deuteronomy 5:7

Thou shalt have none other gods before me.There being little said, concerning the spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments, in the notes on the twentieth of Exodus, I think it needful to add a few questions here, which the reader may answer between God and his own soul.Thou shalt have none other gods before me — Hast thou worshipped God in spirit and in truth? Hast thou proposed to thyself no end besides him? Hath he been the end of all thy actions? Hast thou sought for any other happiness,... 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
