Deuteronomy 5:28-33 ESV

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 5:28

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 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:30

Go say to them, get you into your tents again. Which they had left, being brought by Moses, at the direction of God, to the foot of Mount Sinai, to receive the law from his mouth; this being done, they are ordered to return to their tents again, to their families, wives, and children. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:31

But as for thee, stand thou here by me ,.... On the mount by him whither he was called up; Moses was not permitted to go to his tent when the children of Israel were, but was ordered to wait upon the Lord to receive instructions from him, which he was to communicate to the people, being a kind of a mediator between God and them, as they requested, and which was granted them: and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments : all laws, moral,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:32

Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God doth command you ,.... Observe every precept, as to matter and manner, which the Lord has commanded, and that under a sense of the great obligations laid on them by him, in giving them freely so good a land to possess: you shall not turn to the right hand or to the left ; but walk in the way of the commandments of God, and not depart from them at all, but follow the Lord in his own ways fully. The phrase is expressive of a strict and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:33

Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you ,.... None are to be avoided or departed from on any consideration whatever; see Psalm 119:6 an instance of this we have in Zacharias and Elizabeth, Luke 1:6 that ye may live; corporeally, comfortably, in all the outward enjoyments of life needful for them, particularly in the possession of the land of Canaan, and the benefits of it; for these promises of life upon obedience seem to reach no further, unless as types... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:29

O that there were such a heart in them - Or rather, זה לבבם והיה יתן מי mi yitten vehayah lebabam zeh , Who will give such a heart to them, that they may fear, etc. They refuse to receive such a heart from me; who then can supply it? If they had not been such perfectly free agents as could either use or abuse their liberty, could God have made the complaint or expressed the earnest desire we find in this verse? He made the human will free; and in spite of all the influence of sin and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:32

Ye shall observe to do - He who marks not the word of God is never likely to fulfill the will of God. Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left - The way of truth and righteousness is a right line; a man must walk straight forward who wishes to go to glory; no crooked or devious path ever led to God or happiness. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 5:33

Ye shall walk in all the ways, etc. - God never gave a commandment to man which he did not design that he should obey. He who selects from the Divine testimonies such precepts as he feels but little inclination to transgress, and lives in the breach of others, sins against the grand legislative authority of God, and shall be treated as a rebel. That ye may live - תחיון ticheyun , that ye may enjoy life, (for the paragogic nun, at the end of the word, deepens the sense), that it may... read more
