The First Commandment in the Bible is not the First Command in the Bible. That is found in the first few lines at Genesis 1:3:

יְהִ֣י א֑וֹר
Y’hi or
Let there be light

In a sense, that is more essential than any of the later commandments, whether 10 or 613 or any number in between.

If our actions, words or thoughts are maintaining or increasing the light, we are doing well.

If our actions, words or thoughts are decreasing or putting out the light, we are not doing as well.

Even though the First Command is not literally aimed at us, as the commandments are, it is obvious that we can be charged with the responsibility.

This is a Season of Lights. Y’hi or.
