You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall not make unto you a graven image, nor any manner of 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; 4you shall not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I, יהוה your Elohim, am El Kana, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; 5and showing compassion unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My Mitzvot. (commandments).

Remember Yom HaShabbat, to keep it kadosh. Six days shall you labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Shabbat unto יהוה your Elohim, 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 יהוה made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore יהוה blessed Yom HaShabbat, and hallowed it.
