Deuteronomio 5:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 5:5

I stood between the Lord and you at that time
Between the Word of the Lord and you, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; that is, about that time, not at the exact precise time the ten commandments were delivered, for these were spoken immediately to the people; but when the ceremonial law was given, which was ordained by angels, in the hand of a mediator, ( Galatians 3:19 ) , and which was at the request of the people as follows, terrified by the appearance of the fire out of which the moral law was delivered:

to show you the word of the Lord;
not the decalogue, that they heard with their own ears, but the other laws which were afterwards given, that were of the ceremonial and judicial kind:

for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the
mount;
lest they should be consumed by it: and indeed bounds were set about the mount, and they were charged not to break through:

saying;
this word is in connection with the preceding verse, the Lord's talking out of the midst of the fire, when he said what follows.

Deuteronomio 5:5 In-Context

3 El Señor
no hizo ese pacto con nuestros antepasados sino con nosotros, los que vivimos hoy.

4 En el monte, el Señor
te habló cara a cara desde en medio del fuego.

5 Yo serví de intermediario entre tú y el Señor
, porque tenías miedo del fuego y no quisiste acercarte al monte. Él me habló a mí, y yo te trasmití sus palabras. Me dijo lo siguiente:

6 »Yo soy el Señor
tu Dios, quien te rescató de la tierra de Egipto, donde eras esclavo.

7 »No tengas ningún otro dios aparte de mí.
