Sunday School Lesson 9/12

God Makes a Covenant with Israel - Exodus 20:1-11

Exd 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying: Exd 20:2 "I am the LORD your God, who
brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Exd 20:3 "You shall
have no other gods before Me. Exd 20:4 "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; Exd 20:5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve
them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, Exd 20:6
but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. Exd 20:7
"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him
guiltless who takes His name in vain. Exd 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exd 20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, Exd 20:10 but the seventh 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, nor your stranger who is within your gates. Exd 20:11 For in 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.
