Deuteronomy 5:2-3 "The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day."
Does this covenant made with the children who inherited the promised land have a specific name? Is it an outworking of another, over-arching covenant?
Also,
Deuteronomy 5:12-15 "And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day" (v.15)
WLC Q. 120. What are the reasons annexed to the fourth commandment, the more to enforce it?
A. The reasons annexed to the fourth commandment, the more to enforce it, are taken from the equity of it, God allowing us six days of seven for our own affairs, and reserving but one for himself, in these words, six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work: from God’s challenging a special propriety in that day, the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: from the example of God, who in six days made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: and from that blessing which God put upon that day, not only in sanctifying it to be a day for his service, but in ordaining it to be a means of blessing to us in our sanctifying it, wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath-day and hallowed it.
How should we compare Deuteronomy stating the Lord commanded Sabbath keeping due to redemption from Egypt, and the Confessional view of a creation ordinance? Does the Deuteronomy passage just represent Moses' view of Sabbath keeping? Thank you.
