Exodus 20:2-11

2I am Jehovah thy 1God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3Thou shalt have no other 2gods before me.

4Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, or any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth:

5thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy 3God, am a jealous 4God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and to the fourth [generation] of them that hate me,

6and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

7Thou shalt not idly utter the name of Jehovah thy 5God; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his name.

8Remember the sabbath day to hallow it.

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;

10but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy 6God: thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

11For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
