The first four laws are set in the relationship that mankind is supposed to have with God. However, the second half is set in relationships between mankind and their neighbors. The first five laws are: 1) Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. 2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image 3) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain 4) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
These laws are broken down to explain to God’s people that you can have no other god, but for God himself and you cannot make any idol, for God is your one and only idol. Law three discuss that you shall not use God’s name out of context for it is a holy name. Law four tells his followers that they shall rest and worship on the Sabbath day, God’s day, to keep it holy.

Many followers have a hard time distinguishing what law actually means, but this website gives a good stepping stone to help people find the truth. For the Bible is everyone’s own interpretation, however the laws are pretty straightforward. I would grade this website an A- for the fact that some of the scripture is used in the King James Version of the Bible, rather then being used in something that could be better understood. Even though the laws are straight forward, the Bible can be interrupted in many different ways, that is why I love reading it so much. God promises his people that if they follow his laws and take them to heart, then he will given them a place in his Holy Land. These laws that his followers have, are used in their everyday lives. The Ten Commandments were used over a thousand years ago, however they are still practiced in many countries and

    In the book of Ezra, the main focus is the return of the exiles to Judah from Babylon, and the restoration of Jerusalem and the Temple. This return was approved by Cyrus, who was the king of Persia at the time. Under the imperial rule of Persia and permitted by the edict to return to their land, the exiles were able to eventually implement the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Law of Moses, as an authoritative tool in both public and personal life. The idea of the Law being used as a figure of authority can be seen in Chapter Nine; throughout the chapter, the author is exceedingly distressed, because he is told that the people of Israel “[had] not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with their abominations” (Ezra 9.1b).…

    The genre of Deuteronomy 6:1-9 is law. Law was God’s gift to Israel, a covenant or promise that he made with them that if they lived Godly lives, they would be fruitful in the land he would give them. Often times when people today think of the word “law”, they associate it with being controlled, but in this context it wasn’t seen as a way to hold people back. While it was Israel’s constitution, the main purpose of law was to instruct the Israelites on how to thrive in the promised land and have a strong connection with God. Aside from those unique characteristics, there are six important principles to be aware of when interpreting law.…
