Commandment 7

 THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
  The Ten Commandments (1933) by Alexander Katz (1895-1974)
   (Copies of these lithographs were provided by David Pitcher, MD)


Commentary by Rabbi Alexander S. Kline
Purity is depicted by flowing water and snow crystals. The all-seeing eye is contained in a large symbolic "Zayin", the Hebrew numeral seven. The design emphasizes the purity and sacredness of the marital relationship.
