THE DECALOGUE, OR TEN COMMANDMENTS.—By these8 it was enjoined on the people, 1. That there is no other God but the Lord God, that brought them out of the land of Egypt: 2. That no image or likeness of any creature whatever is to be made, as the divine likeness, or for divine worship; implying the entire separation of the Deity from all created beings, and his exclusive right to their worship and adoration: 3. That the name of God is not to be taken in vain, that is to say, either lightly, or to a falsehood; implying the divine omniscience and power: 4. That the seventh day is to be observed as a day of rest for all persons and for all cattle within the Jewish territory, to restore them after their previous toils, and, at the same time, to keep alive in the world a sense of the creation of all things, and their great Creator: 5. That parents are to be honoured: 6. That the life of man is not to be attacked: 7. That the relation of husband and wife is not to be disturbed: 8. That the property of others is not to be violated: 9. That false testimony is not to be borne: and, 10. That covetousness, and all risings of envy, are to be avoided and repressed.
