Deuteronomy 5:6

6 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

Deuteronomy 5:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 6-11. I am the Lord thy God
This is the preface to the ten commandments, and is the same with that in ( Exodus 20:2 ) , (See Gill on Exodus 20:2), and those commands are here delivered in the same order, and pretty near in the same words, with a little variation, and a few additions; which I shall only observe, and refer to ( Exodus 20:1-17 ) for the sense of the various laws.

Deuteronomy 5:6 In-Context

4 The LORD spoke with you face-to-face on the mountain from the very fire itself.

5 At that time, I was standing between the LORD and you, declaring to you the LORD's word, because you were terrified of the fire and didn't go up on the mountain." The LORD said:

6 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

7 You must have no other gods before me.

8 Do not make an idol for yourself—no form whatsoever—of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.
