This chapter continues Moses’ repeating of the Law and history. He recalls the circumstances in which the Law was given at Mt. Sinai with fire, lightning, and earthquake -- all of nature seeming to respond to the moment. Israel learned the Law and responded with the right words, 5:28. But v29 says, “Oh that they had such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it may be well with them and their sons forever.” Knowing scripture is important, but it is when we “hide it in our hearts” that it keeps us from sinning against God, Ps. 119:11.
