Deuteronomy 5
Here we have a retelling of the 10 commandments we had in Exodus 20.
Moses points out that this covenant was not given generations ago, but they themselves were there.
Lets just check they are the same now-
Commandment 1 You shall have no other god before me - is the same in exodus
Commandment 2 You shall not make idols or worship other "gods" - is the same in exodus
Commandment 3 Do not misuse God's name - is the same in exodus
Commandment 4 Observe the Sabbath - exodus says remember the Sabbath but it is the same
Commandment 5 Honour your parents - exodus is the same
Commandment 6 Do not murder - exodus is the same
Commandment 7 Do not commit adultery - exodus is the same
Commandment 8 Do not steak - exodus is the same
Commandment 9 Do not give false testimony - exodus is the same
Commandment 10 Do not covet your neighbours belongings - exodus is the same
At least these have not changed!
Of the laws that are enforceable in a court of law today only commandment 5 could be challenged and then only with evidence that the parents are harming the child.
Deuteronomy 6
This chapter is entitled Love the Lord your God in my Bible - it is not enforceable by any government it is based on attitude.
When Jesus is tempted in the wilderness he quotes 3 verses of scripture at Satan - 2 of them are from this chapter and the third is only 2 chapters away in chapter 8.
The prime commandment is in verse 4 "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one, love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your strength."
The israelites are encouraged to keep reminders of the law of God everywhere and Orthodox and observant Jews will still do this and carry a copy of the law in a box tied to their head, strapped to their wrist, written on their doorposts and gates. They are encouraged to talk about them in conversation.
being tempted in the wilderness, Jesus is offered all the kingdoms of earth if he will worship Satan - Jesus responds with verse 13
When Jesus is challenged to throw himself from a high place because Angels would catch him, he responds with verse 16
The big challenge for the fledgeling nation of Israel will be remembering and following the law of God when they are living in cities they did not build, eating fruit from trees they did not plant and drinking water from wells they did not dig - it is important not to forget the hard times when times are good.
