Deuteronomy 5

I imagine you knew this wouldn't be far behind Exodus 20. The whole law is really quite wonderful. Christians should learn to read it. Notice the present tense emphasis in verse 3. Not with them, but with us. The presence of the past. If all would pay attention, then the disasters we see today would be eliminated. (verse 33).

Obedience is a requirement, all you antinomial folks. God has respect for the poor and so should all the rich in the world, and the governments, and the church and state alike. The visible church and the pretend believers (who are very mixed up - been there done that) need to fix our responses to caring for others. I am looking at the music and of course so can you here.

Add the rather depressing 'return to your tents', sounds like good intentions alone won't make it easily.

There are a number of samechs (ס) scattered in the text. Tradition on reading the 10 words varies widely (see e.g. Morrow, An Introduction to Biblical Law.) I have left one in that divides commandment 10 into 2 (v 21). It is very close to Exodus, but in this case the word covet is not repeated.

Deuteronomy 5 Fn Min Max Syll
וַיִּקְרָ֣א מֹשֶׁה֮ אֶל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם שְׁמַ֤ע יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶת הַחֻקִּ֣ים וְאֶת הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י דֹּבֵ֥ר בְּאָזְנֵיכֶ֖ם הַיּ֑וֹם
וּלְמַדְתֶּ֣ם אֹתָ֔ם וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֖ם לַעֲשֹׂתָֽם
1 And Moses called to all Israel and he said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the judgments that I speak in your ears today,
that you may learn them and keep watch to do them.
3c 4C 44
12
יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ כָּרַ֥ת עִמָּ֛נוּ בְּרִ֖ית בְּחֹרֵֽב 2 Yahweh our God cut with us a covenant in Horeb. 3d 4B 16
לֹ֣א אֶת אֲבֹתֵ֔ינוּ כָּרַ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה אֶת הַבְּרִ֣ית הַזֹּ֑את
כִּ֣י אִתָּ֗נוּ אֲנַ֨חְנוּ אֵ֥לֶּה פֹ֛ה הַיּ֖וֹם כֻּלָּ֥נוּ חַיִּֽים
3 B Not with our ancestors did Yahweh cut this covenant,

אָ֠נֹכִי עֹמֵ֨ד בֵּין יְהוָ֤ה וּבֵֽינֵיכֶם֙ בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔וא לְהַגִּ֥יד לָכֶ֖ם אֶת דְּבַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה
כִּ֤י יְרֵאתֶם֙ מִפְּנֵ֣י הָאֵ֔שׁ וְלֹֽא עֲלִיתֶ֥ם בָּהָ֖ר לֵאמֹֽר
5 ~ I stood between Yahweh and you at that time to announce to you the word of Yahweh,
(for you were fearful from the presence of the fire and you did not ascend the hill) and he said.

אָֽנֹכִי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֧ר הוֹצֵאתִ֛יךָ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם מִבֵּ֣֥ית עֲבָדִֽ֑ים 6 I am Yahweh your God who brought you forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. 3c 4B 25

9 f You will not worship them and you will not serve them,
for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous god, visiting the iniquity of forebears on children over three and over four generations to those who hate me.

14 ~ But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yahweh your God.
