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.

4 The LORD spoke to you face to face. His voice came out of the fire on the mountain.

5 At that time I stood between the LORD and you. I announced to you the LORD's message. I did it because you were afraid of the fire. You didn't go up the mountain. The LORD said,

6 "I am the LORD your God. I brought you out of Egypt. That is the land where you were slaves.

7 "Do not put any other gods in place of me.

8 "Do not make statues of gods that look like anything in the sky or on the earth or in the waters.
