Deuteronomy 5:18

_THOU SHALT NOT KILL._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

6-22 There is some variation here from Deuteronomy 5:20 as between the Lord's prayer in Deuteronomy 5:6 and Deuteronomy 5:11. It is more necessary that we tie ourselves to the things, than to the words unalterably. The original reason for hallowing the sabbath, taken from God's resting from the work of creation on the seventh day, is not here mentioned. Though this ever remains in force, it is not the only reason. Here it is taken from Israel's deliverance out of Egypt; for that was typical of our redemption by Jesus Christ, in remembrance of which the Christian sabbath was to be observed. In the resurrection of Christ we were brought into the glorious liberty of the children of God, with a mighty hand, and an out...

Compare Exodus 20 and notes. Moses here adopts the Ten Words as a ground from which he may proceed to reprove, warn, and exhort; and repeats them, with a certain measure of freedom and adaptation. Our Lord Mark 10:19 and Paul Ephesians 6:2 deal similarly with the same subject. Speaker and hearers recognized, however, a statutory and authoritative form of the laws in question, which, because it was familiar to both parties, needed not to be reproduced with verbal fidelity. Deuteronomy 5:12 The exhortation to observe the Sabbath and allow ti

EXPOSITION THE DECALOGUE THE BASIS OF THE COVENANT, THE ESSENCE OF THE WHOLE LAW, AND THE CONDITION OF LIFE AND FELICITY. DEUTERONOMY 5:1 Moses reminds them of the making of the covenant at Horeb, and of the revelation of the fundamental law of the covenant there. As he was about to recapitulate the laws which God their King had enacted, it was fitting that he should refer at the outset to that covenant relation between Jehovah and Israel on which all the injunctions of the Law rested....

II. THE EXPOSITION OF THE LAW, EXHORTATIONS AND WARNINGS, BLESSING AND CURSE 1. The Proclamation of the Decalogue Chapter S 4:44-5:33 _ 1. The introductory words (Deuteronomy 4:44)_ 2. The law proclaimed (Deuteronomy 5:1) 3. Moses, the mediator (Deuteronomy 5:22) First a general announcement is given of the discourse on the law. The fact is emphasized, that it was set before them after they came forth out of Egypt. Then the victories over Sihon and Og are mentioned once more and that they now possessed their land. Why this repetition? It was to remind them of the goodness and faithfulness of Jehovah, whose law they were about to hear expounded. It was to be

Yahweh's covenant (Deuteronomy 4:13 *) with Israel at Horeb (Deuteronomy 1:2 *) and its obligations (Deuteronomy 5:6). With D's version of the Decalogue (Deuteronomy 5:6) compare the earlier form in Exodus 20:1 * (E). Wellhausen is wrong in holding that there is a third (an older) version in Exodus 34:10. The following are the principal characteristics of Dt.'s rendering: (_a)_ There are hortatory additions, (_b)_ The statements are more definit

The Sixth to the Ninth Commandments, as in Exodus 20:13-16, except that for the simple _not_used there, we have here _and not_= _neither_, to introduce the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Commandments; and that in the Ninth instead of _sheḳer_= _false_of Exodus 20:16 there is the wider term _shav" = vain, groundless_, as in the Third Commandment. For this term see on Exodus 20:7; and cp. Exodus 23:1 (E), where it is applied to a report or rumour....

A. THE NATURE, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND IMPLICATIONS OF THE COVENANT MADE AT SINAI (Deuteronomy 5:1 to Deuteronomy 11:32) 1. THE TEN WORDS REVIEWED (Deuteronomy 5:1 to Deuteronomy 6:3) a. THE COMMANDMENTS GIVEN (Deuteronomy 5:1-21) And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Hear O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that _ye_ may learn them, and observe to do them. 2 Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 Jehovah made not this covenant with our fat

THE REPETITION OF THE DECALOGUE This chapter repeats the Law of the Ten Commandments given on Mt. Sinai with the circumstances of its delivery: see Exodus 20, and the notes there....
