Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 5:13
Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:
6-20.

[See on Ex20:2.] The commandments which follow are, with a few slightverbal alterations, the same as formerly recorded (Ex20:1-17), and in some of them there is a distinct reference tothat promulgation.
