I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 “ Have no gods other than Me.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 “ Do not make for yourselves a god to look like anything that is in heaven above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.

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 “ Do not worship them or work for them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I punish the children, even the great-grandchildren, for the sins of their fathers who hate Me.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

6 B ut I show loving-kindness to thousands of those who love Me and keep My Laws.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 S ix days you will do all your work.

Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

10 B ut the seventh day is a Day of Rest to the Lord your God. You, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your cattle, or the traveler who stays with you, must not do any work on this day.

but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah 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:

11 F or in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea and all that is in them. And He rested on the seventh day. So the Lord gave honor to the Day of Rest and made it holy.

for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

17 “ Do not have a desire for your neighbor’s house. Do not have a desire for his wife or his male servant, his female servant, or his bull or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

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 A ll the people heard and saw the thunder and lightning, the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw it, they shook with fear and stood far away.

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 T hey said to Moses, “You speak to us and we will listen. But do not let God speak to us or we will die.”

And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 M oses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so you may have enough fear of Him to keep you from sinning.”

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.

21 T he people stood far away, while Moses came near to the cloud where God was.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22 T hen the Lord said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.

And Jehovah 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 D o not make any gods other than Me. Do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.

24 M ake an altar of earth for Me, and on it give your burnt and peace gifts in worship, your sheep and cattle. In every place where My name is to be remembered, I will come to you and bring good to you.

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 I f you make an altar of stone for Me, do not build it of cut stones. For if you use an object to cut it, it will be unclean.

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 A nd do not go up on steps to My altar, so no part of your body may be seen without being covered.’

Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.
