Deuteronomy 5 · Grade 3
Ten Words on Stone
Read the Story
Moses called all Israel and told them to hear God's statutes and learn them. God made a covenant with them at Horeb. He spoke face to face with them out of the fire.
God began, I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt. Then came the commands. Have no other gods. Make no idols. Do not misuse God's name. Keep the Sabbath, because you were slaves in Egypt. Honor your parents.
Do not murder, commit adultery, steal, or give false testimony. Do not covet what belongs to your neighbor. The people were afraid of the fire. They asked Moses to hear God for them. God wished they would always have such a heart to obey Him.
