Exodus 20:11-21

11For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.

12Honor your father and your mother so that you may have a long life in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

13Do not murder.

14Do not commit adultery.

15Do not steal.

16Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

18All the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the ram’s horn, and the mountain surrounded by smoke. When the people saw it they trembled and stood at a distance.

19“You speak to us, and we will listen,” they said to Moses, “but don’t let God speak to us, or we will die.”

20Moses responded to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you will fear him and will not sin.”

21And the people remained standing at a distance as Moses approached the total darkness where God was.
