| 1 | `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. |
| 15 | `Thou dost not steal. |
| 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. |
