Introduction: In last week's lesson, we studied about how God made a covenant with the Jews. In this covenant, if they would obey the commandments of God, Israel would be His peculiar treasure. We study this week about the laws given to the children of Israel. 

The laws which God gave unto Israel may be divided into three classes
(1) The moral law is to be found in the ten commandments.
(2) The ceremonial law is found in the instructions of God concerning the sacrifices and related items.
(3) The civil law had to do with the various regulations concerning their government.
 
 
I.   Ten Commandments Given
Exo 20:1  And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
 
The first two verses might be called the preamble to the ten commandments.   Here God relates how He brought them out of the bondage in the land of Egypt.
Note the first four commandments show the relationship God established between God and man, while the last six are about our relationship man to man.  

All of these commandments make man responsible to God. The first commandment established that no other gods are allowed. God is jealous a jealous God and will not share His glory with another.
