Context of Deuteronomy 5:5

3The Lord did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with all of us who are alive today. 4At the mountain the Lord spoke to you face to face from the heart of the fire. I stood as an intermediary between you and the Lord, for you were afraid of the fire and did not want to approach the mountain. He spoke to me, and I passed his words on to you. This is what he said: 6“I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery. 7“You must not have any other god but me.
