Well, folks, after leaving Egypt, the Israelites received a little parting gift from God: the Ten Commandments. Yup, nothing says "have a safe journey" like a list of rules. First up, no other gods before Yahweh. And if you break this one, you can expect some serious smiting. Then, no graven images, no taking the Lord's name in vain and keep the Sabbath holy. After that, it's all about respecting your parents, not killing, not cheating on your spouse, not stealing, not lying, and not coveting your neighbor's stuff. But don't worry, folks, the good news is that God gives a few excuses for breaking these rules. So, in the end, all's forgiven.
