Decalogue

Both the positive precept and the statutes of the decalogue unfolded what was designed as a covenant claim.

Every command of the Decalogue was issued, and punishment followed for its breach, before the existence of the engraved tables.

It is enjoined in the first three precepts of the decalogue.

In the decalogue, the stranger dwelling among them is recognised.

This demand for true worship covers the first part of the decalogue, "Thou shalt have no other gods besides Me."
