Ulangan 5:6

The Ten Commandments

5:6 “I am the Lord your God, he who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the place of slavery.

Ulangan 6:12

6:12 be careful not to forget the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, that place of slavery. ¹ 

Ulangan 8:14

8:14 be sure ²  you do not feel self-important and forget the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery,

Ulangan 13:5

13:5 As for that prophet or dreamer, ³  he must be executed because he encouraged rebellion against the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, redeeming you from that place of slavery, and because he has tried to entice you from the way the Lord your God has commanded you to go. In this way you must purge out evil from within. ⁴ 

[6:12]  ¹ tn Heb “out of the house of slavery” (so NASB, NRSV).

[8:14]  ² tn The words “be sure” are not in the Hebrew text; vv. 12-14 are part of the previous sentence. For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 in the translation and the words “be sure” repeated from v. 11 to indicate the connection.

[13:5]  ³ tn Heb “or dreamer of dreams.” See note on this expression in v. 1.

[13:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “your midst” (so NAB, NRSV). The severity of the judgment here (i.e., capital punishment) is because of the severity of the sin, namely, high treason against the Great King. Idolatry is a violation of the first two commandments (Deut 5:6-10) as well as the spirit and intent of the Shema (Deut 6:4-5).
