The Ten Commandments of YAHUAH — teaching outline (with cross-references)
Covenant preface (why the commands were given)

YAHUAH speaks as Redeemer first: He brought His people out of bondage. The commandments flow from covenant relationship.

Cross-reference:
- Matthew 22:37–40 (love YAHUAH; love neighbor)
1) No other mighty ones before YAHUAH
Exodus 20:2–3 (Deuteronomy 5:6–7)
Core teaching:
- YAHUAH alone is Elohiym; covenant loyalty is exclusive.
