In this story, it shows “God's power to deliver the chosen people from unjust suffering” (Fisher and Bailey 204). The passage contains rules that people must follow to show their dedication to God. This passage provides rules such as “Do not swear falsely in the name of the Lord your God; for the Lord will not clear anyone who swears falsely by His name…You shall not kill, or commit adultery, or steal, or bear false witness against your neighbor” (Fisher and Bailey 204). Another significant story in this passage is the section presented regarding the Sabbath day. This section of the passage explains why the seventh day of the week is considered the Sabbath day and what it consists of. For example, the text states: “Remember the Sabbath day and sanctify it. Six days you shall toil and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God: you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant; nor your cattle, or the stranger who is in your settlements. For in six days the Lord made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the day of the Lord and hallowed it” (Fisher and Bailey 204).
