You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord God gives you. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto the Lord Your God, in it you shall not do any manner of work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day. You shall not take the name of the Lord Your God in vain for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain.

You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them, for I, the Lord Your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
