Context of Deuteronomy 5:4
2Yhwh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3Yhwh made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. Yhwh talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 5(I stood between Yhwh and you at that time, to shew you the word of Yhwh: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying, 6I am Yhwh thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from 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
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 44. The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount--not in a visible and corporeal form, of which there was no trace (De 4:12, 15), but freely, familiarly, and in such a manner that no doubt could be entertained of His presence.Read the comment
