God, upon Mount Horeb, makes a covenant with Israel, Deu_5:1-5. The covenant or ten commandments is delivered to Moses in two tables, Deu_5:6-22. The Israelites desire that not God, but Moses, may speak to them, Deu_5:23-27; which God approves of, Deu_5:28-31. Moses exhorts them to obedience, with a pro mise of life, Deu_5:32,33.
Moses called all Israel, to wit, by their elders, who were to impart it to the rest.
