그 후에야 온 이스라엘 자손이 가까이 오는지라 모세가 여호와께서 시내산에서 자기에게 이르신 말씀을 다 그들에게 명하고

9417. 'And the law and the commandment' means truth in general and in particular. This is clear from the meaning of 'the law' as truth in general; and from the meaning of 'the commandment' as truth in particular. In the Word laws are divided up into commandments, judgements, and statutes, 'commandments' being used to mean laws of life, 'judgements' to mean laws of the civic state, and 'statutes' to mean laws of worship, 8972. However, all these together are called by the general term 'the law', and the individual requirements of the law are called 'commandments', as is clear from a large number of places in the Word. So it is that when the expression 'the law and the commandment' is used, truth in general and in particular is meant.
