Because of this and specially because of the phrase which Jehovah your God has commanded you<\/em>, these verses are taken by some to be a later addition. Yet it was surely quite logical for the writer of the rest of the chapter to put the phrase in Moses’ mouth in Moab, because God had already at oreb charged him with these laws; the phrase does not imply their previous publication.<\/p>\n ye shall not turn aside<\/em>, etc.] Deu 17:11<\/span>; Deu 17:20<\/span>, Deu 28:14<\/span>, and in deuteronomic passages in other books; cp.

Ye shall observe to do<\/B><\/I>] He who marks<\/I> not the word<\/I> of God is never likely to fulfil the will<\/I> of God.<\/P> <\/P> Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.<\/B><\/I>] The way of truth and righteousness is a right line<\/I>; a man must walk straight forward who wishes to go to glory; no crooked or devious path ever led to God or happiness.<\/P><\/p>\n Neither by superstitious additions to Gods commands, nor by a bold or profane rejection or contempt of any one of them. <\/P> <\/p>\n Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God doth command you<\/strong>,…. Observe every precept, as to matter and manner, which the Lord has commanded, and that under a sense of the great obligations laid on them by him, in giving them freely so good a land to possess:<\/p>\n you shall not turn to the right hand or to the left<\/strong>; but walk in the way of the commandments of God, and not depart from them at all, but follow the Lord in his own ways fully. The phrase is expressive of a strict and close attention to the word of God, without deviating from it in the least; for every sin, which is a transgression of some command of God or another, is a going out of the way that directs unto; see Isa 30:21<\/span>.<\/p>\n 32. Ye shall observe to do therefore. Again, in this verse also, he does not merely exhort the people to embrace the Law, but at the same time enjoins them to be content with its unadulterated teaching; and, in fact, to receive as just and right whatever God has commanded, is only to be half obedient, unless men also put this restraint upon themselves, not to import anything else, (in addition to His Law.) So, also, in another passage, which I have subjoined, God no less severely forbids additions to it than taking away from it; and this is a declaration deserving our especial observation, because, in its preposterous wilfulness, the whole world almost is carried away into false religions; which, nevertheless, God has briefly condemned in a single word, when He commands His people so to acquiesce in His appointed Law that they may not seek to be more righteous than they are taught to be. There is a similar passage at the end of Deu 12:32<\/span>,) but, because it is connected with a particular circumstance, and depends on the preceding passage, it will be more conveniently reserved for consideration in that place. He adds, in conclusion, that they will not satisfy the Law unless they keep themselves within its bounds; and in order that they may be more disposed to obedience, he gently attracts them by subjoining the promise. (225) <\/p>\n (225) “La promesse accoustumee;” the usual promise. — Fr. <\/p>\n d. PURPOSES OF OBSERVING THE LAW: (Deu. 5:32<\/span> to Deu. 6:3<\/span>)<\/p>\n Notice these purposes as you read the verses below:<\/p>\n (1)<\/p>\n to live<\/p>\n (2)<\/p>\n to live well<\/p>\n (3)<\/p>\n to live long<\/p>\n (4)<\/p>\n to multiply<\/p>\n 32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. THOUGHT QUESTIONS 5:32-6:3<\/p>\n 127.<\/p>\n The command of Deu. 5:32<\/span> presupposes several things: (1) A personal knowledge of the law, (2) A personal desire to obey the law, (3) Those who would teach the law, Were these factors always present? If not who was to blame?<\/p>\n 128.<\/p>\n Physical life and material prosperity are here associated with obedience to the law. Is this true today? Discuss.<\/p>\n 129.<\/p>\n Someone said, Democracy is the by-product of Christianity, Discuss the prosperity and danger of America as compared with Israel.<\/p>\n AMPLIFIED TRANSLATION 5:32-6:3<\/p>\n 32 Therefore you people shall be watchful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. CHAPTER 6<\/p>\n Now this is the instruction, the laws, and the precepts, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you might do them in the land to which you go to possess it; COMMENT 5:32-6:3<\/p>\n THAT YE MAY LIVE, etc. (Deu. 5:33<\/span>)Note the similarity to Deu. 5:16<\/span> and Eph. 6:3<\/span>. One cannot but be impressed time and again in this book that God promises happiness and joy to his children if they will be obedient, Afflictions and difficulties they might have on this earth (as Job did) but the promise contained here would still be theirs if they would not turn away from their God.<\/p>\n Material prosperity formed a large part of Israels promised blessing. The Israel of God today, his church (Gal. 6:16<\/span>) is also a land flowing with milk and honeythe great spiritual and eternal blessings of Christ! Every true member of the church inherits far more than the blessings enumerated here. The least one in Christs kingdom has more for which to be grateful than the greatest of those living under the Mosaic covenant (Mat. 11:11<\/span>).<\/p>\n Final Comment ( Deu 5:32-33<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> ).<\/strong> <\/p>\n Having fully described what had happened at Sinai\/Horeb Moses now adds his own final comments. They are to observe and do what Yahweh has commanded without any diversions from it, and they are to walk in the way in which Yahweh has commanded them to live so that it might be well with them and they might have long life in the land which they will shortly possess (and some already possess). <\/p>\n Analysis. <\/p>\n They were to observe to do what Yahweh their God had commanded them. They were not to turn aside to the right hand or to the left (Deu 5:32<\/span>). <\/p>\n They were to walk in all the way which Yahweh their God had commanded them, so that they might live, and that it might be well with them, and so that they may prolong their days in the land which they will possess (Deu 5:33<\/span>).<\/p>\n Deu 5:32<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/strong> You (ye) shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.’ <\/p>\n Moses now speaks again to all the people as a group (ye). They are to observe all that Yahweh their God has commanded them. They must turn neither to the right nor to the left in the way of disobedience, but must walk straight forward in the way of obedience without deviation. <\/p>\n Thus they had to have singleness of eye (Mat 6:22<\/span>; Luk 11:34<\/span>), singleness of heart (Act 2:46<\/span>; Eph 6:5<\/span>; Col 3:22<\/span>), and singleness of purpose. Those whose eyes are fixed firmly on Christ, and whose hearts are fully taken up with Him, will thereby find the way made easier. <\/p>\n Deu 5:33<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/strong> You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.’ <\/p>\n For this was the only way in which they could ensure that they would live and not die. And by it they would ensure not only that they lived, but that they lived so that it would be well with them and so that they would have long lives in the land which they would possess. All depended on hearing and responding to the covenant. That would ensure long life in the land which was only for the righteous. The idea of the ‘walk’ is common in Scripture. It indicated step by step progress forward and revealed that they truly had life. <\/p>\n Ver. <\/em><\/strong>32. <\/strong>Ye shall not turn aside, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> A phrase signifying their strict observance of God’s laws, and a steadfast persisting in the path of their duty. It is a metaphor taken from a traveller, who, being once set into the right way, ought not to deviate from it. See chap. Deu 4:2<\/span> Deu 17:11<\/span>; Deu 17:20<\/span>. Jos 1:7<\/span>. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS.<\/strong>Overcome by the displays of the terrible Majesty that they beheld, and trembling at the voice of God, they cannot endure the method of immediate communion with him, lest they die. Note; <\/em>(1.) Fallen man is naturally in terror at God’s voice. But, (2.) In Christ Jesus we are not afraid to approach him, because we know it is the voice of love. They propose: <\/p>\n 1. That God would speak to them, not immediately from himself, but through Moses their mediator. They had despised him before, but they value him now when he can stand their friend. Awakened consciences see with different eyes. 4. Moses infers from all this, their obligation to be obedient; and assures them that it is the only way to be happy. No true happiness, in time or in eternity, is to be enjoyed, but in the way of true holiness. <\/p>\n How very suitable is the conclusion which the man of GOD makes of his solemn address. And hedged in, and surrounded as we are, in the gospel dispensation, think Reader how impossible it will be in any of us to escape, if we neglect so great salvation.

Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it; 2 that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy sons son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.<\/p>\n
33. You shall walk in all the way which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land which you shall possess.<\/p>\n
2 That you may (reverently) fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your sons son, and keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

2. They promise to be obedient. Nothing more common than to make great promises in time of peril; which are usually as soon forgotten, as the sailor’s prayers when the storm is over.
3. God condescends to approve their motion, and speaks his desire that there were such a heart in them as now appeared, humble, reverential, and dutiful. Moses is appointed as the mediator between them, and him they must hear. Note; <\/em>(1.) God is well pleased with every gracious purpose that his spirit excites in the heart, and delights in the salvation of souls. (2.) It were well for us, that there were constantly such a sense of God, and the things of God, upon our minds, as we sometimes feel. (3.) The word God speaks by his prophets and apostles, is as sure as what he speaks by his own voice from heaven, and equally to be regarded; and if the Scriptures are neglected, all the appearances of Sinai, if repeated, would never have any effect upon us. <\/p>\nFuente: Commentary on the Holy Bible by Thomas Coke<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
