Moses

Tablets

December 5
Read: Exodus 20:1-17
Symbol: Ten Commandments

The Hebrew people still lived in Egypt many years after the death of Joseph. The new Pharaoh did not remember Joseph's family and had allowed the Hebrews to be made slaves of the Egyptians.
Moses was a man chosen by God to lead his people to freedom. God performed many miracles on behalf of Moses and the Hebrews and sent plagues upon the Egyptians to bring about the release of His people.
God wanted to take His people right to the promised land, but they were disobedient and did not trust God. As a result, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.
While the people were in the wilderness, God spoke to Moses, giving him many instructions including the Ten Commandments. These laws were given to show the people what is pleasing to God and to help them to know God better. Because no one can obey the Law perfectly, God sent Jesus centuries later to pay the penalty for our sins so that we could really be pleasing to God and know Him as our Father.

Prayer: We thank You, Father, that because of Jesus we can know You, love You, and serve You.


Link to Exodus

20:1
And God spake all these words, saying,
20:2
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
20:3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
20:4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth:
20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
20:6
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
20:7
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
20:8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
20:10
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
20:11
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
20:12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
20:13
Thou shalt not kill.
20:14
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
20:15
Thou shalt not steal.
20:16
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
20:17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox,
nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
