New Testament

Deuteronomy 5:5-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. (At that time I stood between you and the Lord. I told you what the Lord said. You were afraid of the fire. So you would not go up on the mountain.) The Lord said:

6. “I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of the land of Egypt where you were slaves.

7. “You must not have any other gods except me.

8. “You must not make for yourselves any idols. Don’t make something that looks like anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the water below the land.

9. You must not worship or serve any idol. This is because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. A person may sin against me and hate me. I will punish his children, even his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
