Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Because that Abraham obeyed (literally, hearkened to) my voice (a general description of the patriarch's obedience, which the next clause further particularizes), and kept my charge, custodierit custodiam (Calvin); observed my observances (Kalisch); the charge being that which is intended to be kept - my commandments, - i.e. particular injunctions, specific enactments, express or occasional orders (cf. 2 Chronicles 35:16) - my statutes, - or permanent ordinances, such as the Passover; literally, that which is graven on tables or monuments (compare Exodus 12:14) - and my laws - which refer to the great doctrines of moral obligation. The three terms express the contents of the Divine observances which Abraham observed.
