What they are to teach their children These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances This phrase introduces a comprehensive set of divine instructions. The Hebrew words for "commandments" (מִצְוֹת, mitzvot), "statutes" (חֻקִּים, chukim), and "ordinances" (מִשְׁפָּטִים, mishpatim) reflect different aspects of God's law. "Mitzvot" refers to general commandments, "chukim" to decrees that may not have an obvious rationale, and "mishpatim" to judgments or laws that govern social justice. This triad underscores the holistic nature of God's law, encompassing moral, ceremonial, and civil dimensions. Historically, these laws were given to guide Israel in maintaining a covenant relationship with God, setting them apart as His chosen people. that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess FIRST PORTION OF THE COMMENTARY ON THE LAW (Deuteronomy 6-11).(1) These are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord . . . commanded . . . that ye might do them in the land.--After the Decalogue itself has been recapitulated, Moses proceeds to apply its principles to the conduct of Israel in the promised land. The first part of the application is more general, and concerns the relation of Israel to Jehovah, who has brought them from Egypt through the wilderness to the promised land. This portion concludes with Deuteronomy 11. The precepts that follow are particular, and concern the land of Israel viewed as the seat of (1) the worship and (2) the kingdom of Jehovah. But the whole discourse, from Deuteronomy 4:44 to the end of Deuteronomy 26 is presented to us as one unbroken whole. (See Introduction for a complete analysis.) The commandments.--Literally, this is the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments. The "commandment" is the duty imposed on Israel by the covenant of the ten words--its application to their daily lives. This application includes (1) statutes, religious ordinances, or institutions; and (2) judgments, requirements, actual rules of behaviour. The two words "statutes" and "judgments," in the original, may sometimes represent two aspects of the same thing. For example, the Passover is an ordinance, or "statute," or, as we should say, an "institution." The rules for its observance are "judgments," or requirements. The thing itself is permanent; the rules for its observance may vary. It was originally eaten standing, and in haste. But after Israel was at rest, it was eaten by them reclining, and in an attitude of repose. Again, the moral law as a whole was eternal; but its application to the life of Israel was very different from its application to ourselves. The word here rendered "commandments" is now commonly employed by the Jews to signify any religious duty or good work. Verses 1-3. - Some connect this with what goes before, and take it as a sort of epilogue to the preceding discourse; but it is rather to be regarded as introductory to what follows. Being about to enjoin upon the people the commandments they were to obey in the land on which they were about to enter, Moses prefaces this with a general announcement of what he was about to deliver, and with a statement of the reason for such deliverance, and of the benefits that would flow from the observance of what should be enjoined. Verse 1. - These are the commandments. In the Hebrew it is, This is the commandment, i.e. the sum and substance of the Divine enactment; equivalent to "the Law" (Deuteronomy 4:44). "The statutes and judgments" (rights) are in apposition to "the commandment," and explain it.Parallel Commentaries ...
