Leviticus
19:3 – “‘Each of you must respect
your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I
am the Lord your
God.
Exodus 20:4-6,9-10,12 – “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth
beneath or in the waters below. You
shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the
sin of the parents to the
third and fourth generation of those
who hate me, but
showing love to a thousand generations
of those who love me and keep my commandments…Six days you shall labor and do
all your work, but
the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor
your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor
any foreigner residing in your towns…“Honor your
father and your mother, so that you may live long in
the land the Lord your
God is giving you.
Leviticus 11:44 – I am the Lord your
God; consecrate yourselves and
be holy, because I am holy. Do
not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.
Application:
- · Honor your father and mother so that you may live long.
- · Because of who God is and what He has done, His people must dedicate themselves fully to Him.
- · Because God had no visible form, any idol intended to resemble Him would be a sinful misrepresentation of Him.
- · God will not put up with rivalry or unfaithfulness.
- · The Sabbath was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel at Mount Sinai.
