Lesson II. The Ten Commandments -
Duties Toward God. Golden
Text: Deut. 6. 5.
THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Based on the text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
The Law of the Ten Words. -The Ten
Commandments of the 'Mosaic law are
armed to under the various titles of
'testimony," "covenant" (Exod. 25. 21;
De(it, 9. 9; Psa. 119), and "the Deca-
Jogue." This last title means literally
Me law of the len words," vetich is the
Dame used in Exod. 24. 8; Deut, 4. 13,
and other passages. The name "Ten
C.omandments" is a less accurate Wage
more common rendering of the original
Hebrew used. The commonly accepted
view among Old Testament scholars
leaves undisturbed the tradition of the
Manic authorship of "an essentially
spiritually and ethical cotle of ten pre-
apts." It is, however. considered prob-
able that this code existed originally in
a much briefer form, to which from time
to time various reflections and promises
wets added for the purpose of strength-
ening the appeal of the code to the mind
end will of Lite people, ln support of
,this theory it, is pointed out particularly
that the Pentateuch iself contains two
versions of this code in which are found
not a. few and not altogether unimpor-
tant variations, especially in the ra-
tans for obedience attached to the fourth
ewer fifth commandments respeetively.
The version of Excel. 20. 2.17, is general-
ly regarded as the older and more
-classic, while that of Detre 5. 6-21, is
edmIttedly of later origin. To 1110 dif-
terences between the two versions in
detail we shall have occasion to refer

marelments. The theory of a more
simple original version from which both

supported by the theory that the fourth
commandment as we now have it in
Earl. 20. 8-11. clearly presupposes on
fie part of the author of this passage an
acgeaintance with at least the thought
of lite creation story, as found in Gen.
1. 1-2. 3. (Read In (hls connecillon the
introductory Note to the Lesson Word
Studies for next Sunday.)
Verse 1. About a month and a half
lia.s passed since the events of our last
lesson occurred. Israel under the leader-
ship of Moses and Aaron has proceeded
en its journey toward Sinai, making
several stops by the way. The stages of
Ole journey are indicated in Num. 33.
12-15.
And God spake all these words -Amid
Thunder and lightning from Sired and
with the sound of a trumpet Jehovah
proclaims the words of the law in nrti-
culato tones in the ears 01 the terrified
merle (Earl. 20, 18; DOuL. 4. 12). Later
'the words, thus uttered by the voice of
Jehovah are graven by Ms own finger
on tables of stone (Earl, 31. 18; Deut.
4, 13). Witnessleg the apostasy of the
people on descending from the moun-
tain, Moses brake these fleet labia
(Exod. 32. 10), which inter are repleced
be others, also written by the had of
Jehovah himself (Exod, 34. 1). These
seeond tables are &patted in the Ark
for safe keeping, ad In token of their
great importance (DeM. 10, 5). Thus 1110

the lalosaic law.
2 I am Jehovah thy God-lt was im-
portant that the people should under-
stand that the law given by the hand
of Moses is of higher origin, centaining
the commandment of Jehovah himself to
his people.
Bondage -Hebrew, "bondrnen."
3. Thou ehalt-The pronoun is in the
second person singular. Tee law ad-
dresses itself to each individual member
of the nation.
4. (lava image -Or, "molten." As
tle, first commandment asserts the unity
of God and is a protest against poly-
theism, so the second emphasizes his
spirituality, and is a protest against
idolatry and materialism. The censtruc-
tion of the Hebrew text of this command-
ment has been intich disputed, though
tee natural sense seems to be: "Thou
shalt riot make uoto thee a graven
Image: (and) to no visible shape in
heaven, elm, shalt- thou bow down, etc."
The water under the earth -According
la the Hebrew conception the earth,
which was nal, was supported upon the
waters of the "great deep" (cam.
Gen. 1).
5. Upon the third and upon the
fourth generation -The inexorable law
of heredity is valid for good as well as
foi evil, Ile subtle workings whereby 11
appears sometimes to skip one or more
generations bas in our time especially
become a matter of most carefulscien-
tific study and investigation.
0. Unto thousands -Or, "a thousand
generations."
7. The name of Jehovah thy God -
Among ancient Oriental peoples the
name of a person was regarded ns of
much greater significance and impor-
tance than in our day, standing, as it
did, in a peculiar sense for the person
himself, Hence M blot out a name
want practically the annihilation of the
person and ad memory of him. To use,
therefore, unnecessarily or carelessly
the name of God was the height of ir-
reverence. Later a too literal interpre-
Mem of this commandment led to a
substitution of the word national" (lord)
for "Yahweh" in reading the Scriptures,
which habit, in turn, resulted in a an
ruption or combination of the tyvo, from
which has come our English word "Jeho-
vah."
8. Remember the sabbrith day to keep
it holy -The weird "sabbath" is derived
Iran a root meaning "to desist, to
cease." It is yvorley of note 'het in a
time when religion consisted chiefly in
the observance of ritual and ceremony
this superior ethical COL1A ORM alpha -
011 onlyane external and formal re-
ligious duty, narrowly so called, namely,
that of Seibbath observance.

prohibition to work on the Sabbath dny.

ACTED ON ORDERS.
When I sailed with Commander Mc-
Calla several years ago, said a young
naval officer, he ltd already made a re-
putation as a rigid disciplinarian. One
day it chanced that n Midshipman whom
he had sent ashore went a trifle beyond
Me instructions given hirn with relation
to his errand. The matter was not of the
least importance, but eleCalla chided him
shorply, saying
"When you receive an order, sir, do
simply what you are told to do ,and
never a particle more or less."
The inidshentian touched his hat re-
spectfully, Mit he thought the rebuke un -
Need for. A few days later McCune
summoned him DI1(1 said
"You will take a boat, sir, and go
ashere to the post -ulnae. See if there is
a peclutge eddressed to me."
"Aye, nye, sir."
The midshipman toob< the boat and
went aehore. When he returned, Mc.
Calla asked :-
"Well, sir, was there a package for
tee at the post -cella?"
"Yes. sire replied the midshipman,
touching his cep.

"Al the post- Mike, sir."
"What you didn't bring it with you?'
