Charioteer of the thundercloud with untiring feet, highest Zeus! Your Seasons sent me as a witness of the most lofty games, this Olympic victory-procession, this most enduring light of widely powerful excellence. For the procession comes in honor of Psaumis' chariot; Psaumis, who, crowned with the olive, hurries to rouse glory. May the god be gracious to his future prayers, since I praise a man who is most eager in the raising of horses, who rejoices in being hospitable to all guests, and whose pure thoughts are turned towards city-loving peace. He won the foot race in bronze armor.

Name: HOMEWORK Date:Homeroom: 6th Grade World HistorySWBAT Explain the origins and beliefs of Judaism.

DOCUMENT: Adapted from “The Ten Commandments.” History Alive!, pg 117As it is told in the Torah, after the Israelites left Egypt, they traveled through a wilderness for 40 years. During this time, God gave Moses the laws and teachings that became the foundation of Judaism. Some of these laws are called the Ten Commandments.

The Torah says that Moses received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, the “Mountain of God.” Alone, Moses had gone up to the mountain to pray. He returned carrying two tablets of stone. Engraved on the tablets were the Ten Commandments. Some of the commandments U2_L10_Week 6

listed the Israelites’ duties to God. For example, on commandment was, “You shall have no other gods besides me.” This commandment reminded the Israelites of their promise to worship only one God. Another commandment told the Israelites to set aside one day a week, the Sabbath, for rest and worship. Other commandments laid down basic moral teachings (ideas about the right way to live). For example, one said, “You shall honor your father and mother.” Other commandments forbade stealing, lying, and murdering.

The Ten Commandments stated some of Judaism’s basic teachings. The Torah says that by obeying God’s commandments, the Jewish people would fulfill their part of their agreement with God. Their responsibility was to make God’s moral teachings known to the world. In turn, God would protect them.

Moses made several key contributions to the development of Judaism. First, he led the Exodus out of Egypt. Jews have celebrated this event ever since to remember the journey from slavery to freedom as proof that God watched over them. This celebration is called Passover. Second, Moses gave Judaism some of its most fundamental laws and teachings, which Jews and Christians call the Ten Commandments. Third, Moses forged the Israelites into a united Jewish people devoted to a single God.

1. Which of the following best defines the term “The Ten Commandments?”(a) Forging the Israelites into a united Jewish people(b) Ten laws and teachings said to have been given to Moses by God(c) Fulfilling the Israelite’s agreement with God

2. What is an example of one of the Ten Commandments? ___________________________________________________________________________________________

3. List the three reasons that Moses is considered an important Jewish figure:

(a) ____________________________________________________________________________________

(b) ____________________________________________________________________________________
