The plural is used in that very precept, which prohibits the worship of any God but one. “I Jehovah am thy Gods, that brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.”-“Be not unto thee other Gods beside me;" and in every subsequent part of the Decalogue, where God is mentioned, the plural word is introduced. In the second commandment, “ For I Jehovah am thy Gods.” In the third, “ Take not the name of Jehovah thy Gods in vain.”. In the fourth, “ The Sabbath of Jehovah thy Gods.” In the fifth, “ The land which Jehovah thy Gods is giving thee.” See p. 20, Animadversions on Dr. Geddes's Critical Remarks on the Holy Scriptures, printed by Wilkes and Taylor, 1803.

This, adds (Dr. R.) if he did not hereby design to denote a Plurality of Persons in the Godhead, should seem to be a strange form of expression.
