'thou shall have no other gods before ME.' I AM. *note, i do not want people to worship me, susan.
ps when i had to recite the 10 commandments, this one always got me. say, did you know that it is thought that joseph was called Im hotep - or yuseph or yuya? his wife (daughter of priest of on - aseneth). anyway - 'im' means the God I AM. so he worshipped that God instead of the pharoah in egypt. it was a miracle in itself that he kept a position of power and actually converted aseneth from worshipping egyptian gods to the true God in a matter of a week. this is recorded in 'the story of joseph and aseneth.' he married this woman and had two sons (recorded in the bible AND egyptian history). they were 'royal' sons and they were all buried royally and found inthe valley of the kings. yuya and tuya (sp?) were joseph and aseneth as far as i can tell. the exhibit showed a statue of joseph holding (instead of the hook and flail of eygpt) a scroll with the inscription 'God, Father.' that means he believed in God the Father. not egyptian gods. this was interesting. his pottery also showed no symbology of egyptian gods.
