The line "I am the Lord thy God" opens the first of the Ten Commandments as worded in the King James Version of Exodus 20, and it supplies this print's title. The commandments, traditionally delivered to Moses on Mount Sinai, were a popular subject for religious illustrators and printmakers in the nineteenth century, when devotional images hung in parlors, Sunday schools and family Bibles. Pictures of this kind usually joined the scriptural text with a scene of the tablets or of Moses, so viewers could take in the law at a glance. The archaic phrasing of the title, "thy" in place of "your," reflects the King James Bible that shaped how most English-speaking households knew these verses.
