It is here that we have what is called the Ten Commandments. These become foundational upon which God will set forth the rest (603) of His commandments in the Law of Moses (613 total commandments). But in the midst of God’s great display upon the mountain, the people become very afraid and asks Moses to relay God’s words to them. Finally, the chapter ends with an emphasis in God’s earlier prohibition against idolatry and with preliminary observations concerning the altar to be built for their sacrifices. 00:00 - Review 03:28 - The foundation of the covenant 10:24 - Idolatry is forbidden 14:36 - Improper use of God’s name is forbidden 19:16 - Command to observe the Sabbath 25:23 - Respect for parents is foundational to the health of the nation 28:55 - Prohibition against sexual sins 30:35 - Command against stealing 30:45 - Command against lying on neighbor 33:34 - Prohibition against covetousness 37:10 - The people are afraid and asks Moses to relay God’s words 44:37 - Further prohibition against idolatry and instructions for an altar 58:31 - Final thoughts
