Deuteronomio 4:6-16

Listen to Deuteronomio 4:6-16
6 Guardadlos, pues, y ponedlos por obra; porque 茅sta es vuestra sabidur铆a y vuestra inteligencia en ojos de los pueblos, los cuales oir谩n todos estos estatutos, y dir谩n: Ciertamente esta naci贸n grande es un pueblo sabio y entendido.
7 Porque 驴qu茅 naci贸n grande hay que tenga los dioses cercanos a s铆, como lo est谩 el SE脩OR nuestro Dios en todo cuanto le pedimos?
8 Y 驴qu茅 naci贸n grande hay que tenga estatutos y derechos justos, como es toda esta ley que yo pongo hoy delante de vosotros?
9 Por tanto, gu谩rdate, y guarda tu alma con diligencia, que no te olvides de las cosas que tus ojos han visto, ni se aparten de tu coraz贸n todos los d铆as de tu vida; y las ense帽ar谩s a tus hijos, y a los hijos de tus hijos.
10 El d铆a que estuviste delante del SE脩OR tu Dios en Horeb, cuando el SE脩OR me dijo: J煤ntame el pueblo, para que yo les haga o铆r mis palabras, las cuales aprender谩n, para temerme todos los d铆as que vivieren sobre la tierra; y las ense帽ar谩n a sus hijos.
11 Y os llegasteis, y os pusisteis al pie del monte; y el monte ard铆a en fuego hasta en medio de los cielos con tinieblas, nube, y oscuridad.
12 Y habl贸 el SE脩OR con vosotros de en medio del fuego; o铆steis la voz de sus palabras, mas a excepci贸n de o铆r la voz, ninguna figura visteis.
13 Y 茅l os anunci贸 su pacto, el cual os mand贸 poner por obra, las diez palabras; y las escribi贸 en dos tablas de piedra.
14 A m铆 tambi茅n me mand贸 el SE脩OR en aquel tiempo, que os ense帽ase los estatutos y derechos, para que los pusieseis por obra en la tierra a la cual pas谩is para poseerla.
15 Guardad, pues, mucho vuestras almas; porque ninguna figura visteis el d铆a que el SE脩OR habl贸 con vosotros de en medio del fuego;
16 para que no os corromp谩is, y hag谩is para vosotros escultura, imagen de alguna semejanza, figura de macho o de hembra;

Deuteronomio 4:6-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 4

This chapter contains an exhortation to Israel to keep the commands, statutes, and judgments of God, urged from the superior excellency of them to those of all other nations, De 4:1-8, from the manner in which they were delivered, out of the midst of fire, by a voice of words, but no similitude seen, De 4:9-15, and particularly the Israelites are cautioned against idolatry, from the consideration of the goodness of God to them, in bringing them out of Egypt, De 4:16-20, and the rather Moses is urgent upon them to be diligent in their obedience to the laws of God, because he should quickly be removed from them, De 4:21-24, and should they be disobedient to them, it would provoke the Lord to destroy them, or to carry them captive into other lands, De 4:25-28 though even then, if they repented and sought the Lord, and became obedient, he would be merciful to them, and not forsake them, De 4:29-31 and they are put in mind again of the amazing things God had done for them, in speaking to them out of fire, and they alive; in bringing them out of another nation, and driving out other nations to make room for them; all which he improves, as so many arguments to move them to obedience to the divine commands, De 4:32-40 and then notice is taken of the three cities of refuge, separated on this side Jordan, De 4:41-43, and the chapter is concluded with observing, that this is the law, and these the testimonies, Moses declared and repeated to the children of Israel in the country of Sihon and Og, who were delivered into their hands, and their lands possessed by them, which laid them under fresh obligations to yield obedience to God, De 4:44-49.
