Context of Deuteronomy 5:10
8"'You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 9You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 11"'You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 12"'Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.

[See on Ex 20:2.] The commandments which follow are, with a few slight verbal alterations, the same as formerly recorded (Ex 20:1-17), and in some of them there is a distinct reference to…Read the comment
