DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5 God, upon Mount Horeb, makes a covenant with
Israel, DEUTERONOMY 5:1. The covenant or ten commandments is delivered
to Moses in two tables, DEUTERONOMY 5:6. The Israelites desire that

WITH OUR FATHERS; either,
1. Not only with them, the word _only_ being here understood, as it is
GENESIS 32:28, GENESIS 35:10 1 SAMUEL 8:7 JEREMIAH 7:19, JEREMIAH
31:34 MATTHEW 9:13. Or,
2. Not at all with them. But then the word covenant is not here to be
taken for the covenant of grace in general... [ Continue Reading ]
Not in a visible shape, which was utterly denied, DEUTERONOMY 4:12,15;
but personally and immediately, not by the mouth or ministry of Moses;
plainly and certainly, as when two men talk face to face; freely and
familiarly, so as not to overwhelm and confound you. Compare EXODUS
33:11 NUMBERS 12:8.... [ Continue Reading ]
As a mediator or messenger between you, according to your desire,
below, DEUTERONOMY 5:27. Compare EXODUS 19:16, &c.; EXODUS 20:19

God himself uttered, but the following statutes and judgments.... [ Continue Reading ]
The ten commandments, delivered EXO 20, are here repeated with some
small difference of words, but the sense is perfectly the same, and
therefore the explication of them must be fetched thence.... [ Continue Reading ]

KEEP THE SABBATH DAY, to wit, in mind and memory, as it is EXODUS
20:8. As God hath commanded thee, to wit, in EXO 20, whither he
directs them, and therefore he here omits the argument of the
creation, which is urged there.... [ Continue Reading ]

In EXO 20, the order is contrary, and thy neighbour's house is put
before his wife, whereby it is evident that Moses intended this but
for one commandment, wherein the order of the words was an
inconsiderable circumstance; for if this were two commandments, as

HE ADDED NO MORE; he ceased for that time to speak immediately, and
with that loud voice unto the people, for the rest were delivered to
Moses, and by him communicated to the people. This he did to show the
preeminence of that law above the rest, and its everlasting

to our admiration, yet we shall never be able to endure any further
discourse from him in such a terrible manner, but shall certainly sink

Heb. _Who will give them such an heart_ ? This is spoken of God after
the manner of men, to show that such a heart is desirable to him, and

heart, and hath promised to give it, JEREMIAH 32:40 EZEKIEL 36:27. And
if God will work, who c... [ Continue Reading ]
