Deuteronomy 5:6

6 I AM thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt from 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.

6 I AM thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt from the house of slavery.

7 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in the heavens above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the waters beneath the earth.
