Deuteronomy 5:17-33

17You shall notH3808 murderH7523.1 18You shall notH3808 commit adulteryH5003.2 19You shall notH3808 stealH1589.3 20You shall notH3808 bearH6030 falseH7723 witnessH5707 against your neighborH7453.4 21You shall notH3808 covetH25305 your neighbor’sH7453H3808 wifeH802. You shall not covetH183 your neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004 or fieldH7704, or his manservantH5650 or maidservantH519, or his oxH7794 or donkeyH2543, or anythingH3605 thatH834 belongs to your neighborH7453.” 22

The LORDH3068 spokeH1696 theseH428 commandmentsH1697 in a loudH1419 voiceH6963 toH413 your wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 out ofH8432 the fireH784, the cloudH6051, and the deep darknessH6205 on the mountainH2022; He addedH3254 nothing moreH3808. And He wrote themH3789 onH5921 twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of stoneH68 and gave themH5414 to meH413.

And when you heardH8085 the voiceH6963 out ofH8432 the darknessH2822 while the mountainH2022 was blazingH1197 with fireH784, allH3605 the headsH7218 of your tribesH7626 and your eldersH2205 approachedH7126 meH413, 24and you saidH559, “BeholdH2005, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 has shown usH7200 His gloryH3519 and greatnessH1433, and we have heardH8085 His voiceH6963 out ofH8432 the fireH784. TodayH3117H2088 we have seenH7200 thatH3588 a manH120 can liveH2421 even if GodH430 speaksH1696 withH854 him. 25But nowH6258, whyH4100 should we dieH4191? ForH3588 thisH2063 greatH1419 fireH784 will consume usH398, and we will dieH4191, ifH518 weH587 hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 any longerH5750. 26ForH3588 whoH4310 of allH3605 fleshH1320 has heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the livingH2416 GodH430 speakingH1696 out ofH8432 the fireH784, as weH3644 have, and survivedH2421? 27Go nearH7126 and listenH8085 to allH3605 thatH834 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 saysH559. Then youH859 can tellH1696H413 usH853 everythingH3605 the LORDH3068 our GodH430H413 tells youH1696; we will listenH8085 and obeyH6213.”

28And the LORDH3068 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 you spokeH1696 to meH413, andH3068 He saidH559 to meH413, “I have heardH8085 the wordsH1697 thatH834 theseH2088 peopleH5971 have spokenH1696 to youH413. They have done wellH3190 in allH3605 thatH834 they have spokenH1696. 29If onlyH4310H5414 they hadH1961 suchH2088 a heartH3824 to fearH3372 MeH853 and keepH8104 allH3605 My commandmentsH4687 alwaysH3605H3117, so thatH4616 it might be wellH3190 with them and with their childrenH1121 foreverH5769. 30GoH1980 and tellH559 them: ‘ReturnH7725 to your tentsH168.’ 31But youH859 standH5975 hereH6311 with MeH5978, that I may speakH1696 to youH413 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 and statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941 you are to teach themH3925 to followH6213 in the landH776 thatH834 IH595 am givingH5414 them to possessH3423.”

32So be carefulH8104 to doH6213 asH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has commanded youH6680; you are notH3808 to turn asideH5493 to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040. 33You must walkH1980 in allH3605 the waysH1870 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has commanded youH6680, so thatH4616 you may liveH2421 and prosperH2895 and prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH776 thatH834 you will possessH3423.
