Context of Deuteronomy 5:4
2Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3Not with our fathers did Jehovah make this covenant, but with us, [even] us, those [who are] here alive all of us this day. Face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire Jehovah spoke with you 5(I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah; for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up to the mountain), saying, 6I am Jehovah thy God who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Commentaries on Deuteronomy 5:4
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-32The rest of the covenant laws explain and apply the Ten Commandments (5:6–21). These laws are based on those commandments. Moses first gave the Ten Commandments to the people of Israel almost 40 years earlier at Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:2–17). Now he reminds the people of these commands before they enter the promised land.Read the comment
