Decalogue and Covenant

No. 564. Decalogue and Covenant.

Does not Deut. 9:9 seem to call the Ten Commandments the covenant made between Israel and God?
Perhaps so, under a strained construction, but not properly. They were the tables of that covenant, because they contained the will of God, on which the mutual covenant was based. There is nothing of an agreement between parties in the Decalogue. It is the expressed will of God, largely in negative form.
