Deuteronomy 5 · Grade 4

Rescued, Then Commanded

Name Date

Read and Think

In his second speech, Moses repeats the Ten Commandments for the new generation. He says the covenant was not only with their fathers but with them, all who were alive that day. God's word was for them personally.

The commands begin with grace. God first says who He is, the One who brought them out of slavery. Only then does He give His commands. In Deuteronomy, the Sabbath is tied to remembering slavery in Egypt, so that servants, foreigners, and even animals could rest too.

The people trembled at the great fire and asked Moses to listen to God for them. God approved and said, Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always. God's laws were meant for their good and for their children.
