Verse 3 is found in chapter 5 of Deuteronomy. Moses gathers the people to repeat the commandments received at Horeb. The Sinai account is presented as an experience that directly commits the present generation, not merely its ancestors. The Decalogue regulates the relationship with God through exclusive worship and the Sabbath, and then establishes fundamental principles for family and social relationships.

und hat nicht mit unsern Vätern diesen Bund gemacht, sondern mit uns, die wir hier sind heutigestages und alle leben.
No con nuestros padres hizo Jehová este pacto, sino con nosotros todos los que estamos aquí hoy vivos.
Jehová no hizo este pacto con nuestros padres, sino con nosotros, los que estamos aquí hoy, todos vivos.
Ce n'est point avec nos pères que l'Eternel a traité cette alliance; c'est avec nous, qui sommes ici aujourd'hui, tous vivants.
Il Signore non fece questo patto co’ nostri padri, anzi con noi, che siamo oggi qui e siamo tutti in vita.
Não com nossos pais fez o SENHOR esta aliança, mas conosco, todos os que hoje aqui estamos vivos.
這約耶和華不是與我們列祖立的,而是與我們,就是今日在這裏還活著的人立的。
