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.
