Va-Et'chanan
This week's portion includes Moses's retelling of the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:6-18)
I am Adonai Who brought you out of Egypt Out from slavery.
Other gods? Just Me. Don't worship any idols It makes Me jealous
Don't swear in My name. To remember you were slaves, Keep the Sabbath Day
Honor your parents. Don't murder, don't cheat, don't steal. Be honest - don't lie.
Last one - don't covet Keeping up with the Jonses? That's against My laws
