Commentary on Deuteronomy 10:13

Theological / Devotional

The commandments. From the usual word for “commandments.” The verb root means “to set up,” “to establish.” The principles of the Decalogue are based on the character of God, and thus firmly established. Keeping the commandments is said by Solomon to be “the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14), because they express love toward God and one’s fellow men (Matthew 22:36-40).
