Then God spoke all these words, saying,
|
| 20:2 |
"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
|
| 20:3 |
"You shall have no other gods before Me.
|
| 20:4 |
"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
|
| 20:5 |
"You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,
|
| 20:6 |
but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
|
| 20:7 |
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
|
| 20:8 |
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
|
| 20:9 |
"Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
|
| 20:10 |
but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
|
| 20:11 |
"For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
|
| 20:12 |
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
|
| 20:13 |

|
| 20:14 |
"You shall not commit adultery.
|
| 20:15 |
"You shall not steal.
|
| 20:16 |
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
|
| 20:17 |
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
|
| 20:18 |
All the people perceived the thunder and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance.
|
| 20:19 |
Then they said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, or we will die."
|
| 20:20 |
Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin."
|
| 20:21 |
So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.
|
| 20:22 |
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
|
| 20:23 |
'You shall not make other gods besides Me; gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves.
|
| 20:24 |
'You shall make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.
|
| 20:25 |
'If you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane it.
|
| 20:26 |
'And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, so that your nakedness will not be exposed on it.'
