¹ And God spoke all these words, saying,

² I^▵ am Jehovah thy God, who brought· thee ·out of the land of Egypt, out·​·of the house of servitude^*.

³ Thou shalt have^◦ no^◦ other gods before My faces.

⁴ Thou shalt not make to thee a graven image, nor^◦ any figure of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters beneath the earth.

⁵ Thou shalt not bow· thyself ·down to them, nor serve them; for I^▵, Jehovah, thy God am a jealous God^◦, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth generation^* of^◦ those who hate Me;

⁶ and doing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

⁷ Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold· him ·innocent who takes His name in vain.

⁸ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep· it ·holy.

⁹ Six days shalt thou serve, and do all thy work^▵*;

¹⁰ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of^◦ Jehovah thy God; thou shalt not do any work^▵, thou^◦, nor^◦ thy son nor^◦ thy daughter, thy manservant nor^◦ thy maidservant, nor^◦ thy beast, nor^◦ thy sojourner who is in thy gates;

¹¹ for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on^◦ the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and made· it ·holy.

¹² Honor^◦ thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged upon the ground that Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

¹³ Thou shalt not murder.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit·​·adultery.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not steal.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not answer against^◦ thy neighbor^▵ as a false witness^*.

^{17 14} Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s^▵ house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s^▵ wife, nor^◦ his manservant, nor^◦ his maidservant, nor^◦ his ox, nor^◦ his donkey, nor^◦ anything^◦ that is thy neighbor’s^▵.

^{18 15} And all the people saw the voices, and the torches, and the voice of the shophar^*, and the mountain smoking; and the people saw, and they quaked, and stood far·​·off.

^{19 16} And they said to^▵ Moses, Speak thou^◦ with us, and we will hear; and let not God Speak with us, lest perchance we die.

^{20 17} And Moses said to^▵ the people, Fear not; for God has come for the sake of tempting you, and so·​·that^◦ the fear of Him may be before your faces, that you sin not^▵.

^{21 18} And the people stood far·​·off, and Moses approached the dense·​·darkness where God was.

^{22 19} And Jehovah said to^▵ Moses, Thus shalt thou say to^▵ the sons of Israel, You^◦ have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.

^{23 20} You shall not make with Me gods of silver and gods of gold; you shall not make them to you.

^{24 21} An altar of ground thou shalt make to Me, and shalt sacrifice on it thy burnt·​·offerings, and thy peace·​·offerings, thy flocks, and thy herds; in every place where I shall cause My name to be remembered, I will come to thee, and I will bless thee.

^{25 22} And if thou make for Me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build it of hewn^◦ stones; for if thou move thy chisel on it, then thou wilt profane it.

^{26 23} And thou shalt not go·​·up on stairs on My altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.

¹ God spoke all these words, saying,

² "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

³ "You shall have no other gods before me.

⁴ "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

⁵ you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

⁶ and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

⁷ "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

⁸ "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

⁹ You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

¹¹ for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

¹² "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

¹³ "You shall not murder.

¹⁴ "You shall not commit adultery.

¹⁵ "You shall not steal.

¹⁶ "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

¹⁷ "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

¹⁸ All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.

¹⁹ They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don't let God Speak with us, lest we die."

²⁰ Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."

²¹ The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

²² Yahweh said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

²³ You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.

²⁴ You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

²⁵ If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.

²⁶ Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
