- Torah Portion and Tanach
- Yitro
Bnei Yisrael arrive at Mount Sinai where the Torah is offered to them. After they accept, they prepare for 3 days in order to receive the Torah. On the 3rd day, amidst dramatic thunder & lightning, G-d’s voice emanates from the mountain & announces the Aseret HaDibrot.
They are:
1. Believe in Hashem
2. Don't have other gods
3. Don't use Hashem's name in vain
4. Observe the Shabbat
5. Honor your parents
6. Don't murder
7. Don't commit adultery
8. Don't kidnap
9. Don't testify falsely
10. Don't covet
After receiving the first two commandments directly from Hashem, the Jewish People are terrified & ask that Moshe intercede & relay Hashem's word to them.
