1. The nature of the matter delivered, which is called Words; 1so Deut. 4. ten words: hence it's called the Decalogue. Now the Hebrew word is used not for a word merely, as we say, one word; for so the ten Commandments are more then ten words: but it signifieth a concise and brief sentence by way of command. Hence it's translated sometimes by the Septuagint, [Greek or Hebrew], Deut. 17. 19. and sometimes [Greek or Hebrew], Psal. 118. 57. so in the New Testament, that which is called by Mark 7. 13. the word of God, is by Matthew named the commandment of God: So Paul also, Galat. 5. 14. The whole Law is fulfilled in one word, that is, one brief sentence by way of command.
