Éxodo 20:6 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 20:6

And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me
And show their love by worshipping God, and him only, by serving him acceptably with reverence and godly fear, by a cheerful obedience to all his commands, by all religious exercises, both internal and external, as follows:

and keep my commandments;
not only this, but all others; for keeping these from right principles, and with right views, is an instance and evidence of love to God, see ( John 14:15 John 14:21 John 14:23 ) and to such persons he shows mercy and kindness, performs acts of grace, and bestows on them blessings of goodness; and indeed it is owing to his own grace, mercy, and kindness to them, that they do love him, and from a principle of love observe his precepts; and this is shown to thousands, to multitudes, who are blessed with such grace as to love the Lord, and keep his commandments: though rather this is to be understood of a thousand generations, and not persons, and should have been supplied, as in the preceding verse, "unto a thousand generations", God being more abundant in showing mercy, and exercising grace and goodness, than he is rigorous in inflicting punishment.

Éxodo 20:6 In-Context

4 »No te hagas ninguna clase de ídolo ni imagen de ninguna cosa que está en los cielos, en la tierra o en el mar.

5 No te inclines ante ellos ni les rindas culto, porque yo, el Señor
tu Dios, soy Dios celoso, quien no tolerará que entregues tu corazón a otros dioses. Extiendo los pecados de los padres sobre sus hijos; toda la familia de los que me rechazan queda afectada, hasta los hijos de la tercera y la cuarta generación.

6 Pero derramo amor inagotable por mil generaciones sobre los
que me aman y obedecen mis mandatos.

7 »No hagas mal uso del nombre del Señor
tu Dios. El Señor
no te dejará sin castigo si usas mal su nombre.

8 »Acuérdate de guardar el día de descanso al mantenerlo santo.
