Main Idea: Moses summons Israel to hear the words that YHWH had spoken to him in their place on the mountain so that they would obey his statutes and rules. Since YHWH delivered them from the house of slavery in Egypt, he demands their loyalty. 1. Summons to hear YHWH’s words in order to learn and obey them (5:1) 2. Basis for Obedience: Covenant Relationship (5:2-5) A. YHWH cut an enduring covenant with Israel – not just that generation (5:2-3) B. YHWH spoke to Israel face-to-face (5:4) C. YHWH spoke through Moses, his intermediary (5:5) 3. The Statutes and Rules of the Covenant (5:6-10ff) A. Basis for Israel’s obedience: YHWH delivered them from slavery in Egypt (5:6) B. The Statutes and Rules i. Regarding worship of YHWH alone (5:7) ii. Regarding idolatry (5:9) - Basis for exclusivity: YHWH’s righteous jealousy (5:10) Exegetical Questions 3a - Not with our fathers? Were the 10 Words not addressed to the fathers? It is best to take these 'laws and statutes' as having a general reference to the laws in Deuteronomy, above and byond hte Decalogue, because they belong to what Mosis is teaching 'today', i.e. on the plains of Moab..., rather than to the words once heard on Horeb. (G.J. McConville, Deuteronomy , InterVarsity Press, Downer's Grove, 2002, pg. 123) Fathers could apply to all those who preceded, including those who died in the wilderness, or it could also refer to the patriarchs Patriarchs - to whom the promise was given (cf. Gal. 3). The force of the command to the present (Moab) generation depends ont on a contrast with the patriarchs, to whom the promise was first given, but rather on a contrast with the generation that actually stood at Horeb....We have here the clearest expression in Deuteronomy of one of its main contentions, namely that Israel in all its generations stands in preinciple once again at Horeb, confronted with teh covenant commands as if about to be given for hte first time. (G.J. McConville, Deuteronomy , InterVarsity Press, Downer's Grove, 2002, pg. 124) The most natural approach is to treat "your fathers" as the exodus generation. The association of "the stipulations, decrees and laws' wit the descendants of Israel "when they came from Egypt" in 4:45 suggests this was how the editor understood theissue. Moses' comment should not be interpreted literally as historical fact, but as a rhetorical statement. Moses hereby negates the effectivness of hte covenant to which the exodus generation had signed on. Through their rebellionat Horeb (cf. 9:7-21) and Kadesh -barnea (1:19-40), that generation had annulled hte covenant, at least for themselves. But Yahweh's offer remains on teh table ot be received by those gathered on the plains ofMoab. Thsi si their chance to sign on to the covenant ratified at Horeb, whose terms are still embodied not only int he Decalogue, but also in the "decrees and laws. (Daniel Block, draft copy) Should be taken as patriarchs. McConville and Block get hung up the words "to all of us, who are here alive this day", implying that the pronoun "you" means "this generation". However, if you applies to "Israel" (that is, under the Mosaic law), then we need not make this separation. Furthermore, Galatians 3 (and Ephesians 2) seems to support this explanation. 4 - What is the audience's ('you') relationship to the following verses. That is, when did it happen and where were they? Change of persons from: I - you (vs. 1): Moses is calling them to hear and obey, We-them (vs. 2-3): Moses identifies with them in submissionto God I-you (vs. 4-5): Moses takes his place as a mediator Moses is emphasizing two points: He is exhorting the present generation to "take its place" at Horeb by saying that YHWH made the covenant with you - not with your fathers. He is showing his place as mediator; he is another one of the Israelite people in submission to God, but he also stands between them and God. 4 - How did he speak face to face with them if Moses stood between them because they did not want to "face" him? Moses is probably speaking metaphorically of the entire population (second masculine plural). McConville notes that this brings the community into closer proximity than Exodus, where it was only Moses who stood face to face with God. In Deuteronomy, the whole community stands face to face with God through Moses, their intermediary.
