Exodus 20:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 20:4

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.
