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

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

The Words of the Covenant of Yahweh (Deuteronomy 5:6-21 ). Having provided the context he now expands on the basic covenant. At this point the pronouns change from plural to singular until Deuteronomy 5:22. This was so as to emphasise the personal application of what was said to each listener, and also to stress that it applied to the whole nation as one. Here we have a repetition of the giving of the covenant, and of the ten words which it contained, but with slight alterations in order to... 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 :.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 5:12

Keep the sabbath day, to wit, in mind and memory, as it is Exodus 20:8. As God hath commanded thee, to wit, in Exodus 20:0, whither he directs them, and therefore he here omits the argument of the creation, which is urged there. 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Deuteronomy 5:12-15

Deuteronomy 5:12-15Keep the Sabbath day.The Fourth CommandmentI. Here is resting from ordinary employments. When a man does his work, his thoughts and tongue and hands are engaged in it. Consequently, on this day of rest, there must be not only a ceasing frown the actual labour of the hands, but neither the tongue nor thoughts may be engaged upon our worldly matters and affairs. Examine what your Sunday thoughts have been. Have you always in thought and mind been in heaven that day, having left... read more
