"And God spake all these words, saying," Exodus 20:1
No.	Text	Description	Why
I.	2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.	You did not set yourself free from the corvee system of Egypt, but My spirit set you free from the government of Egypt.
	3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.	You shall not institute systems as a substitute for the ruling of your hearts and minds by the Spirit of God that will employ us in a corvee system of bondage like Egypt.
	4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:	You will make no covenants with other gods. You shall have no other ruling judges in the place of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
II.	5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to 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;	You should make no Contracts, covenants, or Constitution, nor take benefits that obligate you to labor or serve these other man-made gods.	Those who turn aside from serving our Father in heaven eventually become those who hate Him, and yet, God loves them, even while they turn aside. The chastening and the wrath to come are His invitations to draw near again - to return and do the will of the Father.
	6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.	Once you grasp that these gods are men who become the ruling judges of men who can force you to obey their directives through the law of contract, the Bible and these Ten Commandments take on a fuller meaning.	His words are for the sake of mercy, and His mercy is a reward for those who turn from false gods to seek the kingdom of heaven.
III.	7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.	You shall not claim to be under the God of Heaven while you go under the authority of another name, father or benefactors, but remain under the LORD's authority only.	Consider His character, attributes and reputation, to follow Him as a doer of the Word, and not merely a hearer.
	8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.	Keep in your mind the principle of working first and then taking the benefit of that labor, which is Sabbath.
	9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:	You will work first.
	10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:	After you complete the work that earned the benefit, you will take that rest which is the Sabbath.
	11 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.	This pattern of earning first is the pattern of my character and way and name. The Sabbath is about no debt wherein you owe your service to another.	This pattern also maintains your sobriety: When you do not have upon you the guilt (debt) of ignoring the needs of others during the six days, your spirit and soul experience rest. This is facing life's realities of responsibility, and no distractions (intoxicants to bury guilt) are needed.
IV.	12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.	You shall honor your Father by taking care of your parents in hope that your children will care for us, rather than to seek the Corban of unrighteousness to provide the needed care.	Deeds of honor also help for returning every man to his natural Family and possessions. Jubilee comes with perpetuating honor and liberty.
V.	13 Thou shalt not kill.	You shall not take, by force nor cunning, any proper part of another Man’s life or liberty. You shall not allow your fierce anger to corrupt life.	Turn to go another way: Uphold life and agree with the Creator's purposes. Forgive and have compassion.
VI.	14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.	You shall strive to not violate or defile your body or any part of the body of Christ.
VII.	15 Thou shalt not steal.	You must not take by force or deception the use or benefit of anything that belongs to another.
VIII.	16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.	We must always bear witness to the truth, never doing harm by any falsehood or deception.
IX.	17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house,	You shall not desire the rights nor dominion of others.
X.	17 thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.	You shall not desire power or possessor rights over that which is within any other man’s Family.
