Deuteronomio 5:31 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 5:31

But as for thee, stand thou here by me
On the mount by him whither he was called up; Moses was not permitted to go to his tent when the children of Israel were, but was ordered to wait upon the Lord to receive instructions from him, which he was to communicate to the people, being a kind of a mediator between God and them, as they requested, and which was granted them:

and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and
the judgments:
all laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, which belong to them as men, as in a church state, and members of a body politic:

which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them;
for all doctrine is in order to practice, without which all instructions, and theoretical notions, signify little: and these they were more especially to do, and some of them peculiarly,

in the land which I give them to possess it:
the land of Canaan, and which laid on them no small obligation to do the commandments of God; since of his free favour and good will, and as a pure gift of his, he had bestowed upon them a land flowing with milk and honey, into which he was just now about to bring them; as nothing can more strongly engage souls to a cheerful obedience to the service of God, whether in private or in public, than the consideration of the great and good things which God of his rich grace bestows upon them, and has promised to them, and prepared for them, and will quickly put them into the possession of; and upon such an account Moses presses the observance of the commands of God in the following verses.

Deuteronomio 5:31 In-Context

29 ¡Oh, si siempre tuvieran un corazón así, si estuvieran dispuestos a temerme y a obedecer todos mis mandatos! Entonces siempre les iría bien a ellos y a sus descendientes.

30 Ve y diles: ‘Regresen a sus carpas’.

31 Pero tú quédate aquí conmigo, para que te dé todos mis mandatos, decretos y ordenanzas. Enséñaselos al pueblo, para que los obedezcan en la tierra que les doy como posesión”».

32 Así que Moisés le dijo al pueblo: «Asegúrense de obedecer todos los mandatos del Señor
su Dios y de seguir sus instrucciones al pie de la letra.

33 Manténganse en el camino que el Señor
su Dios les ordenó que siguieran. Entonces tendrán una vida larga y les irá bien en la tierra donde están a punto de entrar y que van a poseer.
