Deuteronomy 5:6 → Exodus 20:2

Exodus 20:2 opens the Decalogue with the self-declaration "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt," and Deuteronomy 5:6 opens the restated Decalogue with the same preamble: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery" (אָנֹכִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, anokhi YHWH elohekha). The historical preamble is verbatim identical in both versions, grounding the commandments in the exodus event. Deuteronomy's restatement of the Decalogue to the new generation on the plains of Moab demonstrates that these words were not addressed only to the Sinai generation but to every generation of covenant Israel, with Moses insisting "the LORD made this covenant not with our fathers but with us" (Deut 5:3).
