Deuteronomy 5:6

6 I am God, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of slaves.

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 God spoke to you personally out of the fire on the mountain.

5 At the time I stood between God and you, to tell you what God said. You were afraid, remember, of the fire and wouldn't climb the mountain. He said:

6 I am God, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of slaves.

7 No other gods, only me.

8 No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim.
