Exodus 20
1.
And God spake all these words, saying,
2.
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought
thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage.
3.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven
image, or any likeness of any thing that
is in heaven above, or that is in the
earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth.
5.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am
a jealous God, 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 of 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 taketh his name
in vain.
8.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it
holy.
9.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all
thy work:
10.
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the
LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates:
11.
For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day: wherefore the
LORD blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
12.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that
thy days may be long upon the land which
the LORD thy God giveth 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, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor
his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass,
nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18.
And all the people saw the thunderings,
and the lightnings, and the noise of the
trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and
when the people saw it, they removed, and
stood afar off. :
19.
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with
us, and we will hear: but let not God
speak with us, lest we die.
20.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not:
for God is come to prove you, and that
his fear may be before your faces, that
ye sin not.
21.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses
drew near unto the thick darkness where
God was.
22.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou
shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye
have seen that I have talked with you
from heaven.
23.
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver,
neither shall ye make unto you gods of
gold.
24.
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto
me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt
offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy
sheep, and thine oxen: in all places
where I record my name I will come unto
thee, and I will bless thee.
25.
And if thou wilt make me an altar of
stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn
stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon
it, thou hast polluted it.
26.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto
mine altar, that thy nakedness be not
discovered thereon.
