4 Exodus 19:25-20:21 25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor 10 3

5 thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour s. 18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 1. Thou shalt have no other before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in ; 4. Remember the day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 6. Thou not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit. 8. Thou shalt not. 9. Thou shalt not bear witness against thy neighbour. 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's,

6 Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 8 Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 1. The first four commandments deal with keeping a right relationship with God.Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul. 2. The last six commandments deal with keeping a right relationship with our neighbors. Love thy neighbor as thyself. 3. Moses told the people that the Lord's fear was to prove them that they sin not. (Ex. 34:28; Deut. 10:4, marg. "ten words") i.e., the Decalogue (q.v.), is a summary of the immutable moral law. These commandments were first given in their written form to the people of Israel when they were encamped at Sinai, about fifty days after they came out of Egypt (Ex. 19:10-25). They were written by the finger of God on two tables of stone. The first tables were broken by Moses when he brought them down from the mount (32:19), being thrown by him on the ground. At the command of God he took up into the mount two other tables, and God wrote on them "the words that were on the first tables" (34:1). These tables were afterwards placed in the ark of the covenant (Deut. 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9). Their subsequent history is unknown. They are as a whole called "the covenant" (Deut. 4:13), and "the tables of the covenant" (9:9, 11; Heb. 9:4), and "the testimony." They are obviously "ten" in number, but their division is not fixed, hence different methods of numbering them have been adopted. The Jews make the "Preface" one of the commandments, and then combine the first and second. The Roman Catholics and Lutherans combine the first and second and divide the tenth into two. The Jews and Josephus divide them equally. The Lutherans and Roman Catholics refer three commandments to the first table and seven to the second. The Greek and Reformed Churches refer four to the first and six to the second table. The Samaritans add to the second that Gerizim is the mount of worship. 5

7 6 10 COMMANDMENTS Discuss these commandments among your group or consider them in a time of prayer before the Lord. 1Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 3Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 5Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 6Thou shalt not kill. 7Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8Thou shalt not steal. 9Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 10Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Can you identify areas in your life where you are doing well? Can you identify areas in your life where you are not doing as well? Ask God to help you to identify these sins against Him and to help you repent and be in right standing before Him. He loves you and seeks to restore the lost relationship you ve had with Him in the past. Remember, to repent means to turn around and to do something different than you ve done in the past. To live life as God intended so that your life may be pleasing to Him. You ll be glad you did as you grow closer and closer to God. 7
