Haydock's commentary
To us. Hebrew and Septuagint, "to you."
Face to face, in such a manner that no doubt could be entertained of his presence. (St. Augustine)
God addressed the decalogue to all the people, who saw no similitude. But to Moses he delivered the rest of his ordinances, with as much familiarity and condescension as one friend would use in speaking to another, Exodus xxxiii. 2. (Calmet)
