   Saying;... saying what? Well, the following verses are the Ten Commandments, that's what. This passage is the heart of the book of Deuteronomy, meaning the second giving of the law. This whole chapter can be summed in 2 words... Ten Commandments. And the "passkey" word is... Covenant.

Here's another verse wicked commentators mangle to death. The context of the passage is quite clear that Moses was referring to the Decalogue; the Ten Commandments. This chapter is what is usually referred to as the second giving of the law, or "version 2" if you like. This is precisely what the very Name of the Book means; Deuteronomy. The "second law". Starting with the very next verse 6,  any fool can see  that this is the Ten Commandments folks! What numbskull would deny that? Answer; John Gill; Matthew Poole; JFB. In fact JFB say, quote; "—not the ten commandments—for they were proclaimed directly by the Divine Speaker Himself, but the statutes and judgments which are repeated in the subsequent portion of this book." And what is the "subsequent portion of this book"? It's non other than the Ten Commandments!
Gill says, quote; "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:"
Yet the entire context is the Decalogue; the Ten commandments. This is the book of Deuteronomy folks, which means the Second Law. It's a testimony of the Second giving of the Law that God gave to Israel on Sinai, namely, the Ten Commandments. Yet these men say ~not~ the Ten Commandments?¿

Poole says, quote; "not the ten commandments, which God himself uttered, but the following statutes and judgments." Yet the very next verses -are-  the "following statutes and judgments"  and guess what they are without looking? They are the Ten Commandments! Both Gill, JFB and Poole had to be smoking Panamanian Red folks!  Their comments go against the grain of the entire chapter and book. This is even stupider than Satan for at least Satan is subtle and tries to hide & disguise his lies. But this is so obvious it fools no one. How do these commentators receive such wide acceptance? Does anybody ever even really read these goons?

My kingdom for men with discernment and the Berean spirit.
