Deuteronomy 5:8 In-Context

6 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

7 Do not have other gods besides Me.

8 Do not make an idol for yourself in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.

9 You must not bow down to them or worship them, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers' sin to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me,

10 but showing faithful love to a thousand [generations] of those who love Me and keep My commands.
