Deutéronome 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 5:4

The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount
Meaning, not in that free, friendly, and familiar manner, in which he sometimes talked with Moses, of whom this phrase is used, ( Exodus 33:11 ) , but publicly, audibly, clearly, and distinctly, or without the interposition of another; he did not speak to them by Moses, but to them themselves; he talked to them without a middle person between them, as Aben Ezra expresses it: without making use of one to relate to them what he said; but he talked to them directly, personally:

out of the midst of the fire;
in which he descended, and with which the mountain was burning all the time he was speaking; which made it very awful and terrible, and pointed at the terrors of the legal dispensation.

Deutéronome 5:4 In-Context

2 L'Eternel, notre Dieu, a traité avec nous une alliance à Horeb.
3 Ce n'est point avec nos pères que l'Eternel a traité cette alliance; c'est avec nous, qui sommes ici aujourd'hui, tous vivants.
4 L'Eternel vous parla face Ă  face sur la montagne, du milieu du feu.
5 Je me tins alors entre l'Eternel et vous, pour vous annoncer la parole de l'Eternel; car vous aviez peur du feu, et vous ne montâtes point sur la montagne. Il dit:
6 Je suis l'Eternel, ton Dieu, qui t'ai fait sortir du pays d'Egypte, de la maison de servitude.
