God gave Moses the Ten Laws (or Commandments) on Mt. Sinai.

The Ten Commandments
(New International Version)

1. You shall have no other gods before me.

2. You shall not make for yourselves an idol.

3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.

4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother.

6. You shall not murder.

7. You shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not steal.

9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

10. You shall not covet.

While Moses was gone on the mountain, Aaron gathered the people's gold and made an idol shaped like a calf. When Moses saw what they had done, he crushed the golden calf into powder and poured it into the water. Moses made the people drink the water.

What does this story
mean to me?

God sent Moses up the mountain so that he could receive the Ten Commandments. Up to now, there were no laws that the people had to follow, so God felt the need to provide rules on how His people were to love Him and to treat others. The first four commandments told how to respect God, and the last six dealt with how to deal with others.

How do you treat God? Do you put Him first in your life? Do you honor your parents? The commandments given to Moses are still applicable today as we honor man and God.

This story about the Ten Commandments can be found in the Bible in Exodus, chapters 19 and 20.

Memory Verse

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

    " You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God."
    Is this really an accurate interpretation of the 3rd commandment? Vain stems from vanity which can mean that you should not use your conscious contact with God as a reason to feel above or better than others. I think the true intent has nothing to do with uttering some swear words distasteful as they may be.
