Deuteronomy 5

COA1655

Deuteronomy 5:1

Called] We may not conceive a miracle in Moses voice, as some do on this place.

Deuteronomy 5:10

My Commandments] So it is in the Masorets marginal reading. But in the Text it is his Commandments: And may import the words of Moses, expounding the sense and meaning of Gods words that went next before,

Deuteronomy 5:14-15

Seventh day] Some words are added by Moses to those uttered by God on Mount Sinai, Exod. XX. 10, 11. as an Explication of them. And also a Reason is given of the fourth Commandment differing altogether from that Reason in Exod. XX. 11. which Reason here yet evinceth not, that therefore God brought the Israelites out of Egypt on the Sabbath-day. But the putting of Wife before House, ver. 21. contrary to that order of House before Wife, in Exod. XX. 17. confounds the late Papists silly shift in dividing the last Commandment into two, to make up ten, Deut. IV. 13. to colour thereby their taking away the second Commandment; or shufling of it into the first: so that by them is not known which is the ninth, and which the tenth Commandment.
