Commentary on Deuteronomy 10:4

Theological / Devotional

The ten commandments. Literally, “the ten words,” as in Exodus 20:1; 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13. The word thus translated and used in this sense means a “precept” or an “edict” (Esther 1:19). It is also used of a “sentence” or “saying” of a wise man (Ecclesiastes 1:1; etc.), and of an “oracle” or “word” of God (Numbers 23:5, 16; Jeremiah 1:4, 11; etc.). Its use with respect to the Ten Commandments identifies them as a divine revelation and is a remainder of the fact that God spoke them in the hearing of all Israel (Deuteronomy 4:13).

The day of the assembly. See on chapter 9:10.
