2 “I am the LORD your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

4 “You shall make no graven image, nor any likenesses which are in Heaven above, nor which are in the earth beneath, nor which are in the waters under the earth.

10 “But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. On it, you shall not do any work—you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maid, nor your beast, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
11 “For in six days, the LORD made the sky and the earth, the sea, and all that therein are, and rested the seventh day. Therefore, the LORD blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
