The word elohim, which is rendered God, in the singular, eloah, and in Arabic allah, is derived from the Arabic alaha, he worshipped, adored, was struck with astonishment, fear, or terror, and hence, he adored with sacred honour and veneration: it also signifies, he succoured, liberated, kept in safety, or defended. Here we learn that elohim denotes the sole object of adoration; the perfections of whose nature must astonish all who contemplate them, and fill with horror all who rebel against him; that consequently he must be worshipped with reverence and religious fear; and that every sincere worshipper may expect help in all his weaknesses, etc., freedom from the power, guilt, and consequences of sin, and support and defence to the uttermost.a jealous God 34:14 visiting 34:7; Jeremiah 32:18; Daniel 9:4-9; Matthew 23:35, 23:36; Romans 11:28, 11:29 Reciprocal Leviticus 26:1 - Ye shall; 26:39 - and also; Deuteronomy 28:18 - the fruit of thy body; 32:16 - provoked; 32:41 - them that hate; Judges 2:12 - bowed; 2 Kings 9:26 - I will requite; 10:6 - your master's sons; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - hate the Lord; Ezekiel 8:3 - provoketh; 16:45 - that loatheth; 18:19 - Why; John 15:24 - hated; Acts 7:43 - figures Verse 10 showing Isaiah 1:16-19; Jeremiah 32:18; Daniel 9:4; Matthew 7:21-27; Galatians 5:6; 1 John 1:7 love me Deuteronomy 6:5, 6:6, 10:12, 10:13; John 14:15, 14:21-23, 15:14; Romans 8:28; James 1:25; 1 John 5:2, 5:3 Reciprocal Exodus 34:6 - merciful; 34:7 - Keeping; Deuteronomy 7:9 - which keepeth; Psalm 103:8 - merciful Verse 11 Deuteronomy 6:13; Exodus 20:7; Leviticus 19:12; Psalm 139:20; Jeremiah 4:2; Matthew 5:33, 5:34; James 5:12 Reciprocal Proverbs 19:5 - unpunished; Ezekiel 17:19 - surely; Malachi 3:5 - the sorcerers Verse 12 Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah 56:6, 58:13 Reciprocal Genesis 2:3 - blessed; Exodus 16:30 - General; 31:14 - keep; 34:21 - Six; 35:2 - Six days; Nehemiah 10:31 - the people; 13:22 - sanctify; Jeremiah 17:22 - neither do; Ezekiel 20:12 - I gave Verse 13 Exodus 23:12, 35:2, 35:3; Ezekiel 20:12; Luke 13:14-16, 23:56 Reciprocal Exodus 16:26 - General; Leviticus 23:3 - General Verse 14 the sabbath Genesis 2:2; Exodus 16:29, 16:30; Habakkuk 3:1 thy stranger Nehemiah 13:15, 13:21 thy manservant Exodus 23:12; Leviticus 25:44-46; Nehemiah 5:5 Reciprocal Exodus 20:10 - thy manservant; Deuteronomy 15:15 - General; 24:22 - General; 29:11 - stranger; Nehemiah 13:16 - men of Tyre; Mark 2:27 - General; 1 Corinthians 9:9 - Doth Verse 15 remember Deuteronomy 15:15, 16:12, 24:18-22; Isaiah 51:1, 51:2; Ephesians 2:11, 2:12 the Lord Deuteronomy 5:6; Psalm 116:16; Isaiah 63:9; Luke 1:74, 1:75; Titus 2:14 through Deuteronomy 4:34-37 Reciprocal Exodus 13:3 - Remember; 20:2 - out of the; 20:10 - thy manservant; Deuteronomy 6:21 - We were; 24:22 - General; 26:8 - the Lord; 2 Kings 17:36 - a stretched Verse 16 Honour Exodus 20:12; Leviticus 19:3; Matthew 15:4-6; Colossians 3:20 that thy days Deuteronomy 4:40, 27:16; Ephesians 6:1-3 Reciprocal Deuteronomy 2:29 - into the land; 5:29 - that it might; 6:2 - thy days; 11:9 - prolong; 11:21 - your days; 12:25 - that it; 25:15 - that thy days; 30:20 - thou mayest; 1 Kings 3:14 - I will lengthen; Proverbs 4:10 - the; Jeremiah 7:23 - that it; 27:5 - and have; 35:18 - Because; Malachi 1:6 - son; Matthew 19:18 - Thou shalt do; Mark 7:10 - Honour; 10:19 - commit; Luke 18:20 - Do not commit; Romans 13:9 - For this; Ephesians 6:3 - General Verse 17 Exodus 20:13; Matthew 5:21, 5:22 Reciprocal Malachi 3:5 - the sorcerers; James 2:11 - Do not commit Verse 18 Exodus 20:14; Proverbs 6:32, 6:33; Matthew 5:27, 5:28; Luke 18:20; James 2:10, 2:11 Reciprocal Leviticus 18:20 - General; Jeremiah 5:8 - every one Verse 19 Exodus 20:15; Romans 13:9; Ephesians 4:28 Reciprocal Genesis 44:8 - how then; Leviticus 19:11 - shall not; Psalm 106:3 - at all times; Habakkuk 1:7 - their judgment Verse 20 Deuteronomy 19:16-21; Exodus 20:16, 23:1; 1 Kings 21:13; Proverbs 6:19, 19:5, 19:9; Malachi 3:5
