Exodus 20

1And God spake all these words, saying, 2I am Jehovah your God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shall have no other gods before me. 4Thou shall not make unto thee a graven image, nor 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. 5Thou shall not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I YHWH thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, 6and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. 7Thou shall not take the name of YHWH your God in vain; for YHWH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shall you labor, and do all your work; 10but the seventh day is a sabbath unto YHWH your God: [in it] you shall not do any work, thou, nor your son, nor your daughter, your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: 11for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YHWH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which YHWH your God giveth thee. 13Thou shall not kill. 14Thou shall not commit adultery. 15Thou shall not steal. 16Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17Thou shall not covet your neighbor's house, you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbor's. 18And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off. 19And they said unto Moses, Speak you with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not. 21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 22And YHWH said unto Moses, Thus you shall say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 23Ye shall not make [other gods] with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you. 24An altar of earth you shall make unto me, and shall sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, your sheep, and yours oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. 25And if you make me an altar of stone, you shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if you lift up your tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. 26Neither shall you go up by steps unto mine altar, that your nakedness be not uncovered thereon.
