Deuteronomy 5:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Deuteronomy 5:7

5 ^aI stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for ^byou were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain. He said:

6 ^a‘I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of¹ bondage.

7 ^a‘You shall have no other gods¹ before Me.

8 ^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;

9 you shall not ^abow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,² visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

10 ^abut showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and¹ keep My commandments.

11 ^a‘You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him¹ guiltless who takes His name in vain.

12 ^a‘Observe the Sabbath day, to¹ keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.
