Deuteronomy 5:1 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

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. And Moses called all Israel, and said - Hear, etc. -

1. God speaks to the people.

2. The people are called to hear what God speaks.

3. To learn what they heard, that they may be thoroughly instructed in the will of God.

4. To keep God's testimonies ever in mind, and to treasure them up in a believing and upright heart.

5. That they might do them - obey the whole will of God, taking his word for the invariable rule of their conduct. Should not all these points be kept in view by every Christian assembly?
