WEB Exodus 20 Chapter
20:1
And God spoke all these words, saying,
20:2
I [am] the LORD thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
20:3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
20:4
Thou shalt not make to thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
20:6
And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
20:7
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
20:8
Remember the sabbath-day to keep it holy.
20:9
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
20:10
But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy 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: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath-day, and hallowed it.
20:12
Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
20:13
Thou shalt not kill.
20:14
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
20:15
Thou shalt not steal.
20:16
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
20:17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbor's.
20:18
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.
20:19
And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20:20
And Moses said to the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
20:21
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God [was].
20:22
And the LORD said to Moses, Thus thou shalt say to the children of Israel; Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
20:23
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make to you gods of gold.
20:24
An altar of earth thou shalt make to me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thy oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come to thee, and I will bless thee.
20:25
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou [shalt] lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
20:26
Neither shalt thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
