Read and answer

Read the story first.

At the mountainThe people of Israel had left Egypt, where they had been slaves. They walked through the wilderness and set up their tents at the foot of a huge mountain called Sinai. On the third morning there was thunder and lightning, a thick cloud and the sound of a loud trumpet. Then Moses was given ten rules, so that the people would know how to live. The first four rules were about loving God, and the last six were about loving people. Moses told the people all the words, and he wrote every word down in a book. Later he went up the mountain again and stayed for forty days and forty nights. At the end he was given two stone tablets with the ten rules on them.
