Deuteronomio 4:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:13

And he declared unto you his covenant
So the law was called, because it contained, on the part of God, things which he would have done or avoided, to which were annexed promises of long life and happiness in the land he gave them; and they, on their part, agreed to hearken to it, and obey it, ( Exodus 24:3 Exodus 24:7 ) ,

which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments;
which see at large in ( Exodus 20:1-17 ) , and in this book afterwards repeated, ( Deuteronomy 5:6-21 ) ,

and he wrote them upon two tables of stone;
to denote the durableness of them; the Targum of Jonathan says on tables of sapphire; but it is most likely that they were written on tables of marble, since there were great quantities of it in Mount Sinai; (See Gill on Exodus 31:18).

14 Y el SE脩OR me orden贸 en aquella ocasi贸n que os ense帽ara estatutos y juicios, a fin de que los pusierais por obra en la tierra a la cual vais a entrar para poseerla.
15 As铆 que guardaos bien, ya que no visteis ninguna figura el d铆a en que el SE脩OR os habl贸 en Horeb de en medio del fuego;
