Study Notes: "Reminders of the Ten Commandments" (Pt 1) (Deuteronomy 4:44–5:18)
Introduction: The Importance of Repetition in Scripture
- Repetition as a Learning Tool: The Ten Commandments: First given in Exodus 20, the Ten Commandments are repeated in Deuteronomy 5 as part of a covenant renewal.
The Covenant and the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:1–3)
- Moses' Exhortation: In Deuteronomy 5:1, Moses calls the Israelites to listen and obey the statutes and judgments.
- Covenant Continuity: The covenant made at Mount Sinai (Horeb) applies not only to those who were there but also to all future generations, including the current one (Deuteronomy 5:3).
The Ten Commandments Reviewed
- Introduction to the Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:4–6):
1.First Commandment: “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Deuteronomy 5:7).
- Exclusive Worship: Israel is commanded to worship only the Lord, the one true God, a commandment that applies universally.
- Second Commandment: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image…” (Deuteronomy 5:8–10).
- Misrepresentation of God: This commandment is not just about avoiding idolatry but specifically prohibits creating an image to represent God, as seen in the incident with the golden calf in Exodus 32.
- Broader Application: The commandment also applies to any form of misrepresentation of God, including through teachings.
- Third Commandment: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain…” (Deuteronomy 5:11).
- Reverence for God's Name: Misusing God's name includes swearing falsely or using it disrespectfully. The Jews took this so seriously that they avoided saying God's name (Yahweh) altogether.
- Fourth Commandment: “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…”
