Four for Him, six for us
I am YHWH your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from a house of serfs. You are not to have any other gods before my presence.
You are not to make yourself a carved image or any figure that is in the heavens above, that is on the earth beneath, that is in the waters beneath the earth; you are not to bow down to them, you are not to serve them, for I, YHWH your God, am a jealous God, calling-to-account the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth genration of those that hate me, but showing loyalty to the thousandth of those that love me, of those that keep my commandments.
You are not to take up the name of YHWH your God for emptiness, for YHWH will not clear him that takes up his name for emptiness.
Remember the Sabbath day, to hallow it. For six days, you are to serve, and are to make all your work, but the seventh day is Sabbath for YHWH your God: you are not to make any kind of work, not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, not your servant, nor your maid, nor your beast, nor your sojourner that is within your gates. For six days YHWH made the heavesns and the earth, the sea and all that is in it, and he rested on the seventh day; therefore YHWH gave the seventh day his blessing, and he hallowed it.
Honor your father and your mother, in order that your days may be prolonged on the soil that YHWH your God is giving you.
You are not to murder.
You are not to adulter.
You are not to steal.
You are not testify against your fellow as a false witness.
You are not to desire the house of your neighbor; you are not to desire the wife of your neighbor, or his servant, or his maid, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbors.
Quoting from Thomas Cahill's "The Gift of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels":
What is ghoulishly fascinating about the history of Christian depictions of Jews (even as early as the fourth century A.D. in the elegantly vicious sermons of John Chrysostom) is that the people being excoriated are presumed to exhibit the unyielding qualities of God himself - the same God whom Christians claimed to worship and whose sacred scriptures they revered. A good case can be made that medieval anti-Hebraism and its modern offspring anti-Semitism are both forms of God-hatred, masquerading as self-justyfing intolerance. The hatred of Christians for Jews may have it ultimate source in hatred of God, a hatred that the hater must carefully keep himself from knowing about. Why would one hate God? To find the answer we probably need look no further than the stark, unyielding Ten.
I'm going to leave these thoughts without commentary, except to say that they form the underpinning to a refutation of "Nobody Ever Expects the Spanish Inquisition". I rather am. I'll explain later.
