5:3 The LORD {a} made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, [even] us, who [are] all of us here alive this day.
(a) Some read, God made not this covenant, that is, in such ample forth and with such signs and wonders.
5:3 Not with our fathers - Only: but with us, who are all alive - He saith not, that all who made the covenant at Sinai are now alive, but this covenant was made with all that are now alive; which is most true, for it was made with the elders in their persons, and with the rest in their parents, who covenanted for them.
5:1-5 Moses demands attention. When we hear the word of God we must learn it; and what we have learned we must put in practice, for that is the end of hearing and learning; not to fill our heads with notions, or our mouths with talk, but to direct our affections and conduct.
