¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

² Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am the Lord your God.

³ You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you, nor shall you walk in their ordinances.

⁴ You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.

⁵ Keep my laws and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. I am the Lord.

⁶ No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.

⁷ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

⁸ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife: for it is the nakedness of thy father.

⁹ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy sister by father or by mother, whether born at home or abroad.

¹⁰ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy son's daughter, or thy daughter's daughter: because it is thy own nakedness.

¹¹ 11Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, whom she bore to thy father, and who is thy sister.

¹² Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: because she is the flesh of thy father.

¹³ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: because she is thy mother's flesh.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother: neither shalt thou approach to his wife, who is joined to thee by affinity.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: because she is thy son's wife, neither shalt thou discover her shame.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not take thy wife's sister for a harlot, to rival her, neither shalt thou discover her nakedness, while she is yet living.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers, neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness.

²⁰ Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour's wife, nor be defiled with mingling of seed.

²¹ Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God : I am the Lord.

²² Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination.

²³ Thou shalt not copulate with any beast, neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime.

²⁴ Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,

²⁵ And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.

²⁶ Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.

²⁷ For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it.

²⁸ Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.

³⁰ Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.

¹ And the Lord spoke all these words:

² I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

³ Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.

⁴ Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.

⁵ Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

⁶ And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments.

⁷ Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.

⁸ Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.

⁹ Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.

¹⁰ But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.

¹¹ For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.

¹² Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee.

¹³ Thou shalt not kill.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit adultery.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not steal.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.

¹⁸ And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking: and being terrified and struck with fear, they stood afar off,

¹⁹ Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord Speak to us, lest we die.

²⁰ And Moses said to the people: Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.

²¹ And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was.

²² And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

²³ You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold.

²⁴ You shall make an altar of earth unto me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be: I will come to thee, and will bless thee.

²⁵ And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be defiled.

²⁶ Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness be discovered.
