Commandments One to Four:
How To Properly Worship The Only True God
First
"I am The Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other
gods before Me."
Second
"You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or 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;
you shall not bow down to them or 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 the fourth
generation of those who hate Me, but showing steadfast love
to thousands of those who love Me and keep My Commandments."
Third
"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."
Fourth
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you
shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a
Sabbath to The Lord your God; in it you shall not do any
work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant,
or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is
within your gates; for in six days The Lord made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the
seventh day; therefore The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and
hallowed it."
