Commentary

Matthew Henry on Deuteronomy 5:1-5

Here, 1. Moses summons the assembly. He called all Israel; not only the elders, but, it is likely, as many of the people as could come within hearing, Deu 5:1. The greatest of them were not above God's command, nor the meanest of them below his cognizance; but they were all bound to do. 2. He demands attention: "Hear, O Israel; hear and heed, hear and remember, hear, that you may learn, and keep, and do; else your hearing is to no purpose."

John Gill on Deuteronomy 5:1

Deuteronomy 5:1-6 1. And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep and do them. 1. Vocavitque Moses universum Israelem, et dixit eis, Audi Israel statuta et judicia, quae ego hodie loquor in auribus vestris, ut discatis ea et custodiatis ad praestandum. 2. The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 2. Jehova Deus noster percussit nobiscum foedus in Horeb. 3. The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 3. Non cum patribus nostris percussit Deus foedus hoc, sed nobiscum, qui ipsi hodie omnes vivimus…
