Exodus 20:4-6 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          4You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.
          5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
          6but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
