`And God speaketh all these words , saying,
2
I [am] Jehovah thy God , who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt , out of a house of servants .
3
`Thou hast no other Gods before Me.
4
`Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image , or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath , or which [is] in the waters under the earth .
5
Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God , [am] a zealous God , charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth, of those hating Me,
6
and doing kindness to thousands , of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
7
`Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.
8
`Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;
9
six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work ,
10
and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God ; thou dost not do any work , thou, and thy son , and thy daughter, thy man-servant , and thy handmaid , and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates , --
11
for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth , the sea , and all that [is] in them, and resteth in the seventh day ; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day , and doth sanctify it.
12
`Honour thy father and thy mother , so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
13
`Thou dost not murder.
14
`Thou dost not commit adultery.
16
`Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.
17
`Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour , thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour , or his man-servant , or his handmaid , or his ox, or his ass , or anything which [is] thy neighbour's .'
18
And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see , and move , and stand afar off,
19
and say unto Moses , `Speak thou with us , and we hear , and let not God Speak with us , lest we die .'
20
And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not , for to try you hath God come , and in order that His fear may be before your faces -- that ye sin not.'
21
And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God [is].
22
And Jehovah saith unto Moses , `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel : Ye -- ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;
23
ye do not make with Me gods of silver , even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.
24
`An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace -offerings , thy flock and thy herd ; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee.
25
`And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it;
26
neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar , that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
