1 |
And YAHUVEH spake all these words, saying, |
2 |
I am YAHUVEH thy YAHUVEH, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. |
3 |
Thou shalt have no other deities before me. |
4 |
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor 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. |
5 |
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I YAHUVEH thy YAHUVEH am a jealous YAHUVEH, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, |
6 |
and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. |
7 |
Thou shalt not take the name of YAHUVEH thy YAHUVEH in vain; for YAHUVEH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. |
8 |
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. |
9 |
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; |
10 |
but the seventh day is a sabbath unto YAHUVEH thy YAHUVEH: 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: |
11 |
for in six days YAHUVEH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YAHUVEH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. |
12 |
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which YAHUVEH thy YAHUVEH giveth thee. |
13 |
Thou shalt not kill. |
14 |
Thou shalt not commit adultery. |
15 |
Thou shalt not steal. |
16 |
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. |
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 anything that is thy neighbor's. |
18 |
And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off. |
19 |
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not YAHUVEH speak with us, lest we die. |
20 |
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for YAHUVEH is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not. |
21 |
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where YAHUVEH was. |
22 |
And YAHUVEH said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. |
23 |
Ye shall not make other deities with me; deities of silver, or deities of gold, ye shall not make unto you. |
24 |
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. |
25 |
And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. |
26 |
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon. |
