¹ And Moses called to^▵ all Israel, and said to^▵ them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I^▵ speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and keep to do them.

² Jehovah our God cut a covenant with us in Horeb.

³ Jehovah cut not this covenant with^◦ our fathers, but^◦ with^◦ us, even us^◦, these here, all of us living today.

⁴ Jehovah spoke with you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire

⁵ (I^▵ stood between Jehovah and you at that^◦ time, to tell you the word of Jehovah; for you were fearful in the face of the fire, and went· not ·up into the mountain), saying,

⁶ I^▵ am Jehovah thy God, who brought· thee ·out of the land of Egypt, out·​·of the house of servitude^*.

⁷ Thou shalt have^◦ no^◦ other gods before My faces.

⁸ Thou shalt not make to thee a graven image, 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;

⁹ thou shalt not bow·​·down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I^▵, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God^◦, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, and on the third and on the fourth generation^* of those who hate Me,

¹⁰ and doing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

¹¹ 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.

¹² Observe^▵ the Sabbath day to keep· it ·holy, as^◦ Jehovah thy God has commanded thee.

¹³ Six days thou shalt serve, and do all thy work^▵*;

¹⁴ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah thy God; thou shalt not do any work^▵, thou^◦, nor^◦ thy son, nor^◦ thy daughter, nor^◦ thy servant, nor^◦ thy maidservant, nor^◦ thine ox, nor^◦ thine donkey, nor^◦ any beast of thine, nor^◦ thy sojourner who is in thy gates; so·​·that thy servant and thy maidservant may rest as^▵ well as thou.

¹⁵ And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God brought· thee ·out thence by a firm hand and by a stretched·​·out arm; therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to do the Sabbath day.

¹⁶ Honor^◦ thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God has commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be·​·well with thee, upon the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not murder.

¹⁸ And thou shalt not commit·​·adultery.

¹⁹ And thou shalt not steal.

²⁰ And thou shalt not answer against^◦ thy neighbor^▵ as a vain witness^*.

^{21 18} And thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s^▵ wife, and thou shalt not lust·​·after thy neighbor’s^▵ house, his field, or^◦ his servant, or^◦ his maidservant, his ox, or^◦ his donkey, or^◦ any thing that is thy neighbor’s^▵.

^{22 19} These words Jehovah spoke to all your assembly in the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the dense·​·darkness, with a great voice; and He added not. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to^▵ me.

^{23 20} And it was, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness (for the mountain did burn with fire), that you came·​·near to me, even all the heads of your tribes^◦, and your elders;

^{24 21} and you said, Behold, Jehovah our God has showed us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God speaks with^◦ man, and he lives.

^{25 22} And now why should we die? for this great fire will devour us; if we^◦ again hear the voice of Jehovah our God, then we shall die.

^{26 23} For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

^{27 24} Come· thou ·near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say; and speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God shall speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

^{28 25} And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Jehovah said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to thee; they have well said all that they have spoken.

^{29 26} O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear Me, and keep all My commandments all the days, that it might be well with them, and with their sons for eternity!

^{30 27} Go say to them, Return into your tents.

^{31 28} But as for thee, stand here with·​·Me, and I will speak to^▵ thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I^▵ give to them to possess it.

^{32 29} And you shall take·​·heed to do as^◦ Jehovah your God has commanded you; you shall not turn·​·aside, right or^◦ left.

^{33 30} You shall walk^◦ in all the ways which Jehovah your God has commanded you, so·​·that you may live, and that it may be·​·well for you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
