Deuteronomy 5:1
Israel Is Called to Hear
Moses calls Israel together. He is a picture of the Lord Jesus as the Teacher who speaks God’s Word. He calls on them to “hear” – a word that, alongside the word “listen” appears frequently in this book – so that they will learn what God says and then do what God says. Hearing and doing are inseparable. No pronouncement made is without obligation, because God has accepted this people to be His own people. Hearing is necessary to their survival as a people.
