Deuteronômio 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:6

Keep therefore and do them
. Observe them, take notice of what is expressed by them, and perform them, both as to matter and manner, as they require:

for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the
nations;
that is, their wisdom and understanding would appear to other nations by their observance of the commands of God:

which hear all these statutes;
which they had a report, got knowledge of by some of the philosophers who travelled into those parts, and by the translation of the Bible into the Greek language:

and say, surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people;
that had such a body of laws, in which they were instructed, and according to which they were governed, and in which they walked; that were so agreeable to reason, truth, justice, and equity; insomuch that so far as they became known they were admired and copied after, both by Greeks and Romans; and hence it was that the oracle F6 declared, that only the Chaldeans and Hebrews were a wise people; the Hebrews came from Chaldea, as Abraham the father of them.

4 mas vocês, que permaneceram fiéis ao SENHOR, o seu Deus, hoje estão todos vivos.
5 “Eu ensinei a vocês decretos e leis, como me ordenou o SENHOR, o meu Deus, para que sejam cumpridos na terra na qual vocês estão entrando para dela tomar posse.
6 Vocês devem obedecer-lhes e cumpri-los, pois assim os outros povos verão a sabedoria e o discernimento de vocês. Quando eles ouvirem todos estes decretos, dirão: ‘De fato esta grande nação é um povo sábio e inteligente’.
7 Pois, que grande nação tem um Deus tão próximo como o SENHOR, o nosso Deus, sempre que o invocamos?
8 Ou, que grande nação tem decretos e preceitos tão justos como esta lei que estou apresentando a vocês hoje?
