The Nugget:
Deuteronomy 4:5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
My Comment:
The Scriptures reveal the laws, statutes, and judgments of God. Statutes, everything that concerned morals and the rites and ceremonies of religion; judgments, all matters of civil right and wrong. This system of laws was not invented by Moses. He received them by direct revelation from God. The Mosaic law was given to the nation of Israel. That law really is not for any other nation. Our Lord Jesus Christ perfectly kept or obeyed the law of Moses, and fulfilled the law. He is the only person to have ever kept the law perfectly. We are now not under law, but under grace.

Deuteronomy 4:5. I have taught you. Dt 31:30. Ex 18:16, 20. Pr 4:11. 22:19, 20. Mt 28:20. Ac 20:20, 27. 1 C 11:23. 15:3. Col 1:28. 1 Th 4:1, 2. 1 T +*3:15. He 3:5. statutes and judgments. The people had been often ready to conclude that Moses taught them by his own authority; but at the close of his life he solemnly assured them that he had instructed them exactly as the Lord had commanded him, neither more, nor less, nor otherwise. This is a most express declaration that he was divinely inspired, and utterly incompatible with his integrity of character, if he was not (Scott). T#1018. ver. 1n. Dt 5:31. 6:1. 11:1. 12:1. Ex 21:1. 24:3. 1 K 2:3. Ezr 7:6. Ne 1:7. 9:14. Jb 27:11. Ps *19:8. Ml 4:4. commanded me. Dt 1:18. Nu 9:5. 29:40. He 3:2. ye should do so. Dt 1:18. Le 19:37. Jsh 11:15. 2 Ch 30:12. Ps 99:7.
