Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses called all Israel,.... The heads of the various tribes, and elders of the people, as he had on occasion been used to do; unless it can be thought that at different times he repeated the following laws to separate parties and bodies of them, until they had all heard them:

and said unto them, hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day; the laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, which he was about to repeat, and afresh declare unto them, being what they had all a concern in, and under obligation to regard.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER V

God's covenant with the people in Horeb, 1-4.

Moses the mediator of it, 5.

A repetition of the ten commandments, 6-21;

which God wrote on two tables of stone, 22.

The people are filled with dread at the terrible majesty of God,

23-26;

and beseech Moses to be their mediator, 27.

The Lord admits of their request, 28;

and deplores their ungodliness, 29.

They are exhorted to obedience, that they may be preserved in

the possession of the promised land, 30-33.

NOTES ON CHAP. V

Verse Deuteronomy 5:1. And Moses called all Israel, and said - Hear, &c.

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?
