| 20:1 |
And 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 bondage.
|
| 20:3 |
'You shall have no other gods before me.
|
| 20:4 |
'You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
|
| 20:5 |
you shall not bow down to them or serve them;for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
|
| 20:6 |
but showing steadfast love to thousands of 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 hold him guiltless 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 to the LORD your God;in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates;
|
| 20:11 |
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day;therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
|
| 20:12 |
'Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
|
| 20:13 |
'You shall not kill.
|
| 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 manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's.'
|
| 20:18 |
Now when all the people perceived the thunderings and the lightnings and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled;and they stood afar off,
|
| 20:19 |
and said to Moses, 'You speak to us, and we will hear;but let not God speak to us, lest we die.'
|
| 20:20 |
And Moses said to the people, 'Do not fear;for God has come to prove you, and that the fear of him may be before your eyes, that you may not sin.'
|
| 20:21 |
And the people stood afar off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
|
| 20:22 |
And the LORD said to Moses, 'Thus you shall say to the people of Israel: You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven.
|
| 20:23 |
You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
|
| 20:24 |
An altar of earth you shall make for me and 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 |
And if you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones;for if you wield your tool upon it you profane it.
|
| 20:26 |
And you shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness be not exposed on it.'
