Deuteronomy 5:1

Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully.

2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

3 He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
