Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:6-22

Here is the repetition of the ten commandments, in which observe, 1. Though they had been spoken before, and written, yet they are again rehearsed; for precept must be upon precept, and line upon line, and all little enough to keep the word of God in our minds and to preserve and renew the impressions of it. We have need to have the same things often inculcated upon us. See Phil. 3:1. 2. There is some variation here from that record (Exod. 20:1-26), as there is between the Lord's prayer as it... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:23-33

Here, I. Moses reminds them of the agreement of both the parties that were now treating, in the mediation of Moses. 1. Here is the consternation that the people were put into by that extreme terror with which the law was given. They owned that they could not bear it any more: ?This great fire will consume us; this dreadful voice will be fatal to us; we shall certainly die if we hear it any more,? Deut. 5:25. They wondered that they were not already struck dead with it, and took it for an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:22

These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount ,.... The above ten words or commands, which were spoken so audibly and loudly by the Lord himself on Mount Sinai, that the whole congregation of the people of Israel heard them: out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness ; in which the Lord was; see Deuteronomy 4:11 , with a great voice, and he added no more ; ceased speaking; after he had delivered the ten commands, he said no more at that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:23

And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness ,.... The thick darkness, where God was, and with which the mountain was covered, Exodus 20:21 . for the mountain did burn with fire ; which is a reason both why the Lord spoke out of the midst of the fire, the mountain on which he descended burning with it and also for his speaking out of the midst of darkness, because not only a thick cloud covered the mountain, but it was altogether on a smoke, which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:24

And ye said, behold, the Lord our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness ,.... In descending on Mount Sinai in the manner he did, and giving the law from thence with such solemnity; for there was a glory in the ministration of it, as the apostle argues 2 Corinthians 3:7 , it being delivered with so much majesty, and such a glorious apparatus attending it; see Deuteronomy 33:2 . Aben Ezra interprets this of the appearance of fire in which the Lord was, "and his greatness", of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:25

Now therefore why should we die ?.... Since we are now alive, and have so wonderfully escaped the danger we were exposed unto, let us be careful that we are not liable to it again: for this great fire will consume us : if it continues, and we are exposed to it; perhaps some of them might remember the fire that burnt in the uttermost parts of the camp at Taberah, and the destruction of Korah and the two hundred and fifty men with him by fire, Numbers 11:1 , if we hear the voice of... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:26

For who is there of all flesh ,.... What man was there in any age, that was ever heard of or can be named: that hath heard the voice of the living God ; who lives in and of himself, and is the author and giver of life to all his creatures, whereby he is distinguished from and is opposed unto the lifeless deities of the Gentiles; and which makes him and his voice heard the more awful and tremendous, and especially as speaking out of the midst of the fire : which was the present... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:27

Go thou near ,.... To the mount, and to God on it: and hear all that the Lord our God shall say ; for they supposed, by the continuance of the Lord on the mount, and the fire burning on it, that he had more to say, which they were not averse to hear; but desired it might be not immediately delivered to them, but by the means of Moses; the sound of the words, and the sight of the fire, being so terrible to them: and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee :... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:28

And the Lord heard the voice of your word, when ye spake unto me ,.... Not only in a general way, as he hears and knows all that is spoken by men; for there is not a word on the tongue, formed upon it, and uttered by it, but what is altogether known to him; but in a special and particular manner observed, took notice of, approved, and was well pleased with what these people said: and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:29

O that there were such an heart in them ,.... Not that there is properly speaking such volitions and wishes in God; but, as Aben Ezra observes, the Scripture speaks after the language of the children of men; and may be considered as upbraiding them with want of such an heart, and with weakness to do what they had promised; and, at most, as approving of those things they spoke of as grateful to him, and profitable to them: the words may be rendered, "who will give F12 מי יתן "quis... read more
