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; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments.

daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates: 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.
5.Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be
long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

7.Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8.Thou shalt not steal.
