Exodus 20:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 20:12

10 but the ^aseventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, ^bnor your stranger who is within your gates.

11 For ^ain six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

12 ^a“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be ^blong upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

13 ^a“You shall not murder.

14 ^a“You shall not commit ^badultery.

15 ^a“You shall not steal.

16 ^a“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17 ^a“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; ^byou shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

18 Now ^aall the people ^bwitnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain ^csmoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.

19 Then they said to Moses, ^a“You speak with us, and we will hear; but ^blet not God speak with us, lest we die.”
