Exodus 20:1 meaning and explanation

And God spoke all these words:

Exodus 20:1, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Exodus 20 opens with God himself addressing the whole people of Israel at Mount Sinai, after bringing them out of slavery in Egypt. This single line is the introduction to the Ten Commandments, and it is striking because the law is not relayed secondhand through Moses but spoken directly by God, which is why the people tremble in verses 18 to 21.
