What does “take in vain” mean?
• Take in the Hebrew meant to lift, carry or bear up
• In vain means emptiness, in vanity, hollow• You shall not carry the Name of the Lord in a
casual, hollow, or empty fashion.

Matthew Henry explains it well
• Hypocrisy – professing but not living• Covenant Breaking – “I swear to God I’ll do it”• Rash Swearing – hit your finger?, Upset?• False Swearing – Bearing false witness• Taking the Name of God lightly

Examples today
• Smack your finger with a hammer lately?• Honest to God, Swear to God, Oh my God• Oh God yes• And it can be even more serious• Called under oath in a trial• How many people have said “the Lord told
me”, and it wasn’t truly the Lord?

How seriously did Hebrews take it?
• Jewish scholars referred to this as "motzi shem shamayim lavatalah", "uttering the Name of Heaven uselessly
• Jewish scholars would not utter the Name Yahweh in almost all circumstances.
• They would often substitute Adonai, as the strongest, “common” Name of the Lord.
• Matthew 28:18-19

• Lev 24:11-16• Matthew 5:33-37• James 5:12

What about others?
• Socially awkward, when someone reviles, defiles, and belittles the Name of Your God
• How do you handle it? How do you respond?

Thank you Lord
• Every one of us has blown this commandment• We’ve carried His Name (God, Jesus, Lord) is
ways less than Ultimate Holiness• But Jesus….• Matthew 26:69-75• John 21:15-17
