Earlier text
Exodus 19 presents the foundational Sinai revelation where Israel received God's law at the mountain, and Deuteronomy 4:5 records Moses saying, "See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the LORD my God has commanded me." Deuteronomy frames the original Sinai legislation as Moses' teaching (לִמֵּד, limed) directed to a new generation poised to enter the land. The shift from divine theophany (Exodus 19) to Mosaic pedagogy (Deuteronomy 4) reflects the transition from the founding event to its ongoing transmission—Moses mediates not merely the law's reception but its re-proclamation for every generation facing new circumstances.
