The Ten Commandments

51 Moses convened all Israel, and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I am addressing to you today; you shall learn them and observe them diligently.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 5:1

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.
