The second commandment, fore a fine selection for gifts.
Friday, December 11, 1953
"Thou shalt have no other god
before Me," corresponds to the
second word, "Let there be a
firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the
waters from the waters."
The third commandment,
"Thou shalt not take the name
of thy God in vain," corresponds
to the word, "Let the waters be
gathered together" for as little
as water can be gathered in a
:cracked vessel, so can a man
keep his possessions which he
has o b t a: i n e d through false
oaths.
The fourth commandment,
'Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy," is related to the
word, "Let the earth bring forth
grass," for he who truly observes
the Sabbath will receive good
things from God, without having
to labor for them, just as the
earth produces grass that need
not be sown.
The f if t h commandment,
"Honor thy father and thy
mother," corresponds to the
word, "Let there be lights in the
firmanent of the heaven," for
God said to man, "I gave thee
two lights, thy father and thy
mother, treat them with care."
The sixth commandment,
"Thou shalt not kill," corres-
ponds to the word, "Let the
waters bring forth abundance by
the moving creature," for God
said, "Be not like the fish,
among whom the great swallow
the small."
The seventh commandment,
"Thou shalt not commit adul-
tery," refers to the word, "Let
the earth bring forth the living
creature after his kind," for God
said, "I gave thee a wife, honor
her."
The eighth commandment,
"Thou shalt not steal," corre-
sponds to the word, "Behold I
have given you every herb-bear-
ing seed," for none, said God,
shall touch his neighbor's goods.
The ninth commandment,
"Thou shalt not bear false wit-;
ness against thy neighbor," cor-
responds to the word, "Let us
make man in our image," be-
cause man is made in God's
image he dare not bear false
witness against his neighbor.
The tenth commandment,
"Thou shalt not covet thy neigh-
bor's wife," corresponds to the
tenth word of the creation, "I
created a woman for man, let
each man keep his own wife,
and let not one man covet an-
other's wife."
The Ten Commandments are
so closely interwoven that the
