45. the testimonies] An unsatisfactory translation of Heb. ‘çdoth. As the kindred verb signifies to solemnly affirm, attest, protest and warn, ‘edôth may mean either (1) decrees or edicts, or (2) solemn exhortations. Its association with statutes and judgements, here and again in Deu_6:20, and with commandments and statutes in Deu_6:17, where it stands not before but between these two legal terms, favours the former alternative. Similarly P uses the related form ‘edûth for the Decalogue. Steuernagel’s opinion that ‘edôth here covers the following hortatory discourses is therefore, while possible, less probable. Bertholet, limiting the reference of Deu_4:45-49 to ch. 5 (see introd. to this section), suggests that ‘edôth means the Decalogue in ch. 5.

when they came forth out of Egypt] An illustration of the writer’s late perspective. For thus to date legislation given in Moab forty years after the actual Exodus, was not possible for Moses himself or for a writer contemporary or nearly contemporary with him; but only for one viewing the whole progress of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land from a very distant standpoint.
