Deuteronomy 5:3

Key Reflection

In Deuteronomy 5:3, Moses recounts how the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites at Mount Horeb (also known as Sinai). This covenant was significant because it marked the foundational agreement between God and the people of Israel, setting forth the terms of their relationship and the responsibilities they would have toward one another and toward God. The use of "Horeb" here evokes the awe-inspiring nature of that mountain, where Moses received the Ten Commandments directly from God, underscoring the divine authority behind this covenant.
