Taking God’s Name in Vain? - feat. Dr. Carmen Imes
BibleProject
You Shall Not Lift Up or Carry the Name of Away Your God in Vain
In hebrew it's you shall not lift up or carry the name of away your god in vain. There's no speech specified in that, in that verse. So i think that the command is telling the israelites not to misrepresent away. At sinai they're at sinai, and away reveals his name to them, and he chooses them to be his own people. It's like an invisible tattoo or a brand, where he's saying, you're mine. We put our names on things to claim ownership. And therefore they're not to live in a way that his name is brought into disrepute.
