3 The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
3 It was not with our ancestors
3 Not with our fathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, who are all of us here alive today.
3 God didn't just make this covenant with our parents; he made it also with us, with all of us who are alive right now.
3 The Lord did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive.
3 The Lord did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with all of us who are alive today.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 5:3
Commentary on Deuteronomy 5:1-5
(Read Deuteronomy 5:1-5)
Moses demands attention. When we hear the word of God we must learn it; and what we have learned we must put in practice, for that is the end of hearing and learning; not to fill our heads with notions, or our mouths with talk, but to direct our affections and conduct.
