 6I am Jehovah thy God who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
 7Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
 8Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth:
 9thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous *God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,
 10and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

 15And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence with a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm; therefore Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to observe the sabbath day.

 17Thou shalt not kill.
