¹ Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.

² Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.

³ Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.

⁴ If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.

⁵ If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.

⁶ Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment.

⁷ Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.

⁸ Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.

⁹ Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

¹⁰ Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.

¹¹ But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.

¹² Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.

¹³ Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.

¹⁴ Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me.

¹⁵ Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear empty before me.

¹⁶ And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work, whatsoever thou hast sown in the field. The feast also in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in all thy corn out of the field.

¹⁷ Thrice a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of my victim upon leaven, neither shall the fat of my solemnity remain until the morning.

¹⁹ Thou shalt carry the firstfruits of the corn of thy ground to the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.

²⁰ Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.

²¹ Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him.

²² But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.

²³ And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, whom I will destroy.

²⁴ Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.

²⁵ And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.

²⁶ There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.

²⁷ I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee.

²⁸ Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.

²⁹ I will not cast them out from thy face in one year: lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.

³⁰ By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.

³¹ And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.

³² Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.

³³ Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps thy make thee sin against me, if thou serve their god: which undoubtedly will be a scandal to thee.

¹ These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it:

² That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged.

³ Hear, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴ Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

⁵ Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.

⁶ And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:

⁷ And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.

⁸ And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.

⁹ And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.

¹⁰ And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

¹¹ Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,

¹² And thou shalt have eaten and be full:

¹³ Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.

¹⁴ You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you:

¹⁵ Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.

¹⁷ Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.

¹⁸ And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,

¹⁹ That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.

²⁰ And when thy son shall ask thee to morrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

²¹ Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

²² And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,

²³ And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers.

²⁴ And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.

²⁵ And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
