Context of Deuteronomy 5:5

3The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 4The LORD spake with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying, 6I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 7Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
