Deuteronomy 5

Deuteronomy 5

Moses spoke to all of the Israelites and told them to learn all of God's decrees and laws, as well as to always follow them. He told them that The Lord had made a covenant with them at Horeb.

Moses reminded them that their Lord was a jealous God that would punish the children for all of the sins of their parents to the fourth generation or those that hated God. The Lord would show love to one thousand generations for everyone that had loved God and kept the Lord's commandments.

Moses tells the Israelites about the Ten Commandments and explains them. He says they were given to him on two stone tablets by God. Moses reminds them that he had stood between the Israelites and God because they were too scared of the fire and would not go up the mountain. The elders and leaders told Moses to tell them what God had told him. They said they would listen and obey.

He says that the Lord heard everything they had said to Moses. The Lord was pleased with what they had told Moses. They had told Moses that they would keep all of God's commandments. God then told Moses that things would go well for the Israelites and for their children, too, as long as they obeyed His commands.

The Lord told Moses that the Israelites should go back to their tents and that he should stay. The Lord gave Moses all of His decrees, laws, and commands. The Lord commanded Moses that he was to teach them to the Israelites and that they had to follow them in their inherited land.

Moses tells the Israelites to be very careful and to follow all of God's commandments. Moses tells them to be obedient to everything that God has commanded of them so that they could live, prosper and prolong their days in the land promised to them by the Lord.
