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.
