Synopsis

The Natural History of the Ten Commandments is a book written by Ernest Thompson Seton in 1907. The book is an exploration of the Ten Commandments from a naturalist's perspective, examining the principles and values they embody and how they relate to the natural world. Seton uses his extensive knowledge of the natural world to draw parallels between the principles of the Ten Commandments and the behavior of animals and plants. He argues that the commandments are not just moral principles, but are rooted in the natural world and are essential for the survival of all living things.The book is divided into ten chapters, each one focusing on a different commandment. Seton discusses the meaning and significance of each commandment, and provides examples from the natural world to illustrate his points. He also draws on his own experiences as a naturalist, sharing stories of his encounters with various animals and how they relate to the commandments.The Natural History of the Ten Commandments is a unique and thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between religion and the natural world. Seton's perspective offers a new way of understanding the Ten Commandments and their relevance to our lives today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Ten Commandments I. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visitine the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. III. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. IV. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. V. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. VI. Thou shalt not kill. VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery. VIII.
