God loved the people he made. He wanted them to live good, holy lives. So he gave them some laws. These laws help people to live the way God wants.

God wrote these laws on stone

These laws are called the Ten Commandments. God said: I am the Lord your God.

Do not have gods other than me.
Do not make for yourselves a god. Do not worship any idol or false god.
Do not use my name in a wrong way.
