©2020 Jerusalem Prayer Team, all rights reserved. The fifth mitzvah (commandment) marks a transition from the first four
(which have to do with our vertical relationship with the Lord) to the
following five (which have to do with our horizontal relationship with
others). The second set is actually called: “the laws between a ‘person to the Place.’” The word “Place” is a reference to the place of the “Shekhinah,” or in other words, God. 2.
Adultery is a grave sacrilege, since it not only violates the sworn promise
of parties to a sacred covenant, but perverts the picture of our union with God
Himself. 6:6). The mits'vah of the Bible are not commands, or rules and regulations, they are directives or landmarks that we look for to guide us. http://www.museumstuff.com/articles/ar7881068925954.html, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments, http://www.cin.org/users/james/files/numberng.htm. In the present rhythm of this life, however, the Sabbath is a
sacred time to become spiritually re-connected with our true identities as God’s
very children. That is to say that the person-to-person laws were viewed as secondary in importance. The verbal root of mits'vah and tsiyon is tsavah meaning to direct one on a journey. As Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus, “We are members of his
body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Since God is faithful and will be true to His name, He will really be
present whenever He is called. By way of eminence, a precept of the decalogue, or moral law, written on tables of stone, at Mount Sinai; one of the ten commandments. Thus, in relation to
our neighbor (who is really everyone), we are to be truthful and bear witness
to the truth in all our moments of life. The third commandment prohibits "taking" (lit. The third of the ten mitzvot (commandments) is, “Thou shalt not take the
name of the LORD thy God in vain” (KJV). In Matthew 23:23, Jesus makes an earth-shattering equation and even reverses the importance of these two categories by calling the “Light” laws: “weightier matters of the law.” Making such a statement at that time in history was nothing short of shocking. From the verse, “The … adulterer waits for twilight saying, No eye
shall see me” (Job 24:15), the Talmud identifies the adulterer as a
practical atheist, since he does not say, No man shall see me, but
no eye — neither the eye of one below nor the eye of Him above. Moreover, gossip or slander are considered murderous to the
dignity of man. The word command, as well as commandment, are used to translate the Hebrew word mits'vah but does not properly convey the meaning of mits'vah. Matt. In this pivotal commandment, the word translated “honor” (kah-bed)
derives from a root word meaning “weighty,” in terms of impressiveness
or importance. The Bible laws are also called “commandments,” “mitz-vot.” The singular word for law or commandment is “mitz-vah.”. To see the picture painted by this word, it is helpful to look at a related word, tsiyon (which is also the name Zion) meaning a desert or a landmark. The revealed name of the LORD—
thus can be understood as the invocation for the very presence of God
Himself. The eighth of the ten mitzvot (commandments) is, “Thou shalt not
steal” (KJV). — to teach
that whoever takes a single life destroys thereby a whole world.”. The singular word for law or commandment is “mitz-vah.” The sages distinguished between different aspects of the laws in the Torah. The God of Israel is calling us to obey the glorious truth that
He is our God. 6:25), and thus speaks directly to
the heart’s innermost intention, which, even if unacknowledged by ourselves, is
always revealed before God: “Your Father who sees in secret” (Mt. The laws between a person to God.
One way to understand
this mitzvah, then, is that we should never invoke Adonai’s name in a
thoughtless, careless, or “stormy” manner (for this reason, orthodox
Jews never pronounce the literal name, but substitute the word “Adonai”
or “HaShem” instead). A nomad uses the various rivers, mountains, rock outcroppings, etc as landmarks to give them their direction. Many of the Jewish sages taught that the greatest of all the mitzvot
(commandments) is the very first commandment, “I am the LORD your God”
(Ex. This is the first and great commandment. carrying) the Name of the LORD in a "vain" or "empty" (i.e., untrue) manner. The numbering of the commandments used on this page follows traditional
Jewish ordering of the commandments rather than the Catholic / Christian
ordering. 5:27-28). The word translated "in vain" (lashav') probably comes from another word that pictures a rushing and destructive storm (shoah). The word translated covet usually refers to selfish desire or lust (e.g., “Lust
not after her beauty in thine heart…” Prov. Many of the Jewish sages taught
that the word translated “name” powerfully refers to the character or
reputation of the one who bears it. None of us really “owns” anything at all, since God alone is the
Creator and Giver of all of life. 22:22, Lev. In the Mishnah it is
written, “Why was only one man (i.e., Adam) created by God? The word translated “in vain” probably comes from another word
that pictures a rushing and destructive storm (sho-ah). In Genesis 2:3 we are told that God rested (shavat) from His creative activity
and set apart the seventh day as the memorial of the work of His hands. The second of the ten mitzvot (commandments) is, “Thou shalt have no
other gods before Me.” Why does Adonai command us not to have other gods
before Him? But murder can be figurative as well as literal. The Lord intended that the mishpakah (family) would
picture His relationship with us. Now here is a paradox: How can we refrain from desiring that which we, in
fact, do desire? The Lord Jesus identified the root condition of adultery as a problem with
the heart: “For out of the heart proceed…adulteries.” The
heart’s true affections are evidenced by the use of one’s eyes
(see Matt. Stealing arrogantly (and vainly)
attempts to seize some “thing” and to claim it for oneself —
blindly disregarding the fact that “in Him we live and move and have
our being” (Acts 17:28).
