Show your fear of God
by not taking advantage of each other.
I am the LORD your God.
Show your fear of God
by not taking advantage of each other.
I am the LORD your God.
As you harvest your crops,
bring the very best of the first harvest
to the house of the LORD your God…
…I am sending an angel before you
to protect you on your journey
and lead you safely to the place
I have prepared for you.
Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens,
the earth, the sea, and everything in them;
but on the seventh day he rested.
That is why the LORD blessed the Sabbath day
and set it apart as holy.
“I am the LORD your God…
You must not have any other god but me.
You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind…
…for I, the LORD your God,
am a jealous God
who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods…
…You know how I carried you on eagles’ wings
and brought you to myself.
Now if you will obey me
and keep my covenant,
you will be my own special treasure
from among all the peoples on earth;
for all the earth belongs to me.
“Who is like you among the gods, O LORD—
glorious in holiness,
awesome in splendor,
performing great wonders?
“With your unfailing love you lead
the people you have redeemed.
In your might, you guide them
to your sacred home.
“Lift your hand toward heaven,
and the land of Egypt will be covered with a darkness
so thick you can feel it.”
So Moses lifted his hand to the sky,
and a deep darkness covered the entire land of Egypt
for three days.
During all that time the people could not see each other,
and no one moved.
But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived.
