“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.” (Ex 20:1-26 AV)
