Just wanted to make note of the emphasis on kindness (to the blind, fatherless, widow...) and sexual purity in this chapter. I see these as recurring themes throughout Scripture in places where God gives His law. This presents a clearer picture of His character, as He reveals what is important to Him.
And of course -- verse 15 is the foundation: worshiping God alone, and refraining from idolatry.
This is reiterated by Christ himself in Matthew 22:37-39:
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...
You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
