The Ten Commandments

1 And God spoke aall these words, saying: 
2 a“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, bout of the house of bondage. 
3 a“You shall have no other gods before Me. 
4 a“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;  
5 ayou shall not bow down to them nor1 serve them. bFor I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, cvisiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,  
6 but ashowing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. 
7 a“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord bwill not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. 
8 a“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.  
9 aSix days you shall labor and do all your work,

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
