Exodus 20

1And GodH430 spake all these wordsH1697, sayingH559,

2I am Jehovah thy GodH430, who broughtH3318 thee out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondage.

3Thou shalt have no otherH312 godsH430 before me.

4Thou shalt not makeH6213 unto thee a graven imageH6459, nor any likeness of any thing that is in heavenH8064 above, or that is in the earthH776 beneath, or that is in the waterH4325 under the earthH776: 5thou shalt not bowH7812 down thyself unto them, nor serveH5647 them; for I Jehovah thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH430, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the children, upon the thirdH8029 and upon the fourthH7256 generationH8029 of them that hateH8130 me, 6and showing lovingkindness unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687.

7Thou shalt not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of Jehovah thy GodH430 in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his nameH8034 in vain.

8RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keepH6942 it holyH6942. 9SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou laborH5647, and do all thy workH4399; 10but the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a sabbathH7676 unto Jehovah thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not do any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy stranger that is within thy gatesH8179: 11for in sixH8337 daysH3117 Jehovah madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that in them is, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: wherefore Jehovah blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowed it.

12HonorH3513 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, that thy daysH3117 may be long in the landH127 which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee.

13Thou shalt not kill.

14Thou shalt not commitH5003 adulteryH5003.

15Thou shalt not stealH1589.

16Thou shalt not bear false witnessH5707 against thy neighborH7453.

17Thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004, thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his oxH7794, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’sH7453.

18And all the peopleH5971 perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226: and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they trembled, and stoodH5975 afarH7350 off. 19And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 thou with us, and we will hearH8085; but let not GodH430 speakH1696 with us, lestH6435 we dieH4191. 20And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3374 not: for GodH430 is comeH935 to prove you, and that his fearH3374 may beH1961 before you, that ye sinH2398 not. 21And the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 afarH7350 off, and MosesH4872 drewH5066 near unto the thickH6205 darknessH6205 whereH834 GodH430 was.

22And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, ThusH3541 thou shalt sayH559 unto the children of IsraelH3478, Ye yourselves have seenH7200 that I have talked with you from heavenH8064. 23Ye shall not makeH6213 other godsH430 with me; godsH430 of silverH3701, or godsH430 of goldH2091, ye shall not makeH6213 unto you. 24An altarH4196 of earthH127 thou shalt makeH6213 unto me, and shalt sacrificeH2076 thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheepH6629, and thine oxenH1241: in every placeH4725 whereH834 I record my nameH8034 I will comeH935 unto thee and I will blessH1288 thee. 25And if thou makeH6213 me an altarH4196 of stoneH68, thou shalt not buildH1129 it of hewnH1496 stonesH68; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. 26Neither shalt thou goH5927 up by stepsH4609 unto mine altarH4196, that thy nakednessH6172 be not uncoveredH1540 thereon.
