2-5. God, our God, made a covenant with us at Horeb. God didn’t just make this covenant with our parents; he made it also with us, with all of us who are alive right now. God spoke to you personally out of the fire on the mountain. At the time I stood between God and you, to tell you what God said. You were afraid, remember, of the fire and wouldn’t climb the mountain. He said:
16. Respect your father and mother—God, your God, commands it! You’ll have a long life; the land that God is giving you will treat you well.
17. No murder.
18. No adultery.
19. No stealing.
20. No lies about your neighbor.
