God continues speaking to Moses.
I, Yahweh, am a jealous God
This could be translated as, "I, Yahweh, will be angry if you worship or honor anything besides me." God strongly desires that his people love, serve, and obey Him more than anything or anyone else. He must be the only master of their lives.
Do not use my name in a disrespectful way
This could be translated as, "Do not talk about me in a way that does not show respect and honor" or, "Talk about me in a way that gives me proper respect and honor."
seventh day
To translate this, it is best to use the number ("seventh") rather than give the name of a specific day of the week.
to remember me
This could be translated as, "to keep me in mind" or, "to honor me."
