After Exodus 20:1-2
And, signifying all
that came before
is connected to what
follows, he speaks,
the voice to be heeded,
the voice to attend,
the voice like no other,
the voice that spoke
creation into existence,
he speaks. He is the Lord,
the Lord our God; he speaks
in the voice that all
hear, all understand.
He is our God, the God
who brought us out
of slavery, out of Egypt,
into the land he promised,
calling us back, striking
the chains that bind us.
The voice is the voice
of the one who made us,
the one who delivered us.
