SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:1
¶ Estos, pues, son los mandamientos, estatutos, y derechos que el SEÑOR vuestro Dios mandó que os enseñase que hagáis en la tierra a la cual pasáis vosotros para heredarla.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 6:1
Verse 1. Now these are the commandments, &c.] See the difference between commandments, statutes, judgments, &c., pointed out, See "Lev. xxvi. 15". Do them] That is, live in the continual practice of them; for by this they were to be distinguished from all the nations of the world, and all these were to be in force till the Son of God should come. Whither ye go.
µyrb[ oberim, whither ye pass over, referring to the river Jordan, across which they must pass to get into Canaan.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments , etc.] Not the Ten Commandments repeated in the preceding chapter, but all others, whether moral, ceremonial, or judicial, afterwards declared; for what Moses now did was only to give a repetition and fresh declaration of such laws as he had before received, and delivered to the people; and so the Targum of Jonathan thus paraphrases this clause, “this is a declaration of the commandments, statutes, and judgments:” which the Lord your God commanded to teach you ; that is, which he commanded him, Moses, to teach them, though not fully expressed, as may be learned from ( Deuteronomy 4:1,5 5:31) that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it ; this is often observed, to imprint upon their minds a sense of their duty, even of obedience to the laws of God, which they were carefully and diligently to perform in the land of Canaan they were going into, and by which they were to hold their possession of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-3 - In this and the like passages, the "commandments" seem to denote the moral law, the "statues" the ceremonial law, and the "judgments" the law by which the judges decided. Moses taught the people all that, an that only, which God commanded him to teach. Thus Christ's minister are to teach his churches all he has commanded, neither more nor less Mt 28:20. The fear of God in the heart will be the most powerfu principle of obedience. It is highly desirable that not we only, but our children, and our children's children, may fear the Lord. Religio and righteousness advance and secure the prosperity of any people.
