WHAT TEN CORDS COULD NOT DO
OBJECTS: Ten Cords Three Feet Long and a
Double Heart
When the children of Israel were tenting and wandering in the wilderness God called Moses their leader up into the heights of Mount Sinai. He wished to speak to him alone, and so Joshua, who had gone up with him, was left in the lower parts of the mountain to await his return, while Moses went up to the cloud-crowned top of the mountain to be alone, all alone with God. This conference with God continued forty days and nights, and when it was concluded Moses came down from the smoking top bearing two tables of stone, upon which were chiseled the ten laws or, as we say today, the Ten Commandments. In few and short words they were as follows:
1. Thou shalt have no other God before me.
2. Thou shalt not make graven images.
3. Thou shalt not take in vain the holy name of God.
4. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.
