Honoring Parents

“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” (Exodus 20:12)

God's Rest Day

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” (Exodus 20:8)

The Hebrew word shabbat is found 108 times in the Old Testament. The basic meaning is “intermission” or “break.” The term never means “Saturday” or “seven.”

God's Precious Name

“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.” (Exodus 20:7)

No Other Image

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing.” (Exodus 20:4)

No Other Gods

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3)

This first commandment, written by the finger of God Himself on Mount Sinai—twice (Exodus 31:18; 34:1)—contains a very intriguing choice of words.
