This is part of a video series covering the entire Bible in 4 years, one chapter at a time. Start at the beginning with Genesis 1 (Youtube link: https://youtu.be/wC2qD4RGOdo) and work through the playlist. Or go to https://www.peace.org.au/bible.html for more information.
In this video listen to Exodus 20 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.
In Exodus 20 we see the Ten Commandments given and very briefly discussed. This video will discuss just 4 of the ten briefly. This is part of the moral law, whereas the civil and ceremonial law are also a big part of the scriptures ahead.
Taking God’s name in vain is not swearing, but has a deeper meaning and application. The Sabbath is also holy, so now a day is declared holy, and what does this mean for us today? Next honoring parents is something for adults, and the command not to murder is different from what the KJV says, not to kill.
In verse 19 the Israelites are scared and tell Moses they don’t want to hear God’s voice. They have already changed their mind in just the space of one day. This video considers God’s desire that all his people should want to hear his voice.
