Darby Bible

1And 1GodH430 spokeH1696 all these wordsH1697, sayingH559, 2I am Jehovah thy 2GodH430, who have broughtH3318 thee out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no otherH312 3godsH430 before me. 4Thou shalt not makeH6213 thyself any graven imageH6459, or any formH8544 of what is in the heavensH8064 above, or what is in the earthH776 beneath, or what is in the watersH4325 under the earthH776: 5thou shalt not bowH7812 down thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them; for I, Jehovah thy 4GodH430, am a jealousH7067 5GodH430, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the sonsH1121 to the thirdH8029 and to the fourthH7256 [generationH8029] of them that hateH8130 me, 6and shewing mercy unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687. 7Thou shalt not idly utter the nameH8034 of Jehovah thy 6GodH430; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that idly uttereth his nameH8034. 8RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 to hallow it. 9SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labour, and do all thy workH4399; 10but the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of Jehovah thy 7GodH430: thou shalt not do any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy bondman, nor thy handmaid, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy stranger that is within thy gatesH8179. 11For in sixH8337 daysH3117 Jehovah madeH6213 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that is in them, and restedH5117 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117; thereforeH3651 Jehovah blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, that thy daysH3117 may be prolongedH748 in the landH127 that Jehovah thy 8GodH430 giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commitH5003 adulteryH5003. 15Thou shalt not stealH1589. 16Thou shalt not bear false witnessH5707 against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's houseH1004, thou shalt not desire thy neighbour's wifeH802, nor his bondman, nor his handmaid, nor his oxH7794, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's. 18And all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the thunderings, and the flames, and the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226; and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 [it], they trembled, and stoodH5975 afarH7350 off, 19and saidH559 to MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 thou with us, and we will hearH8085; but let not 9GodH430 speakH1696 with us, lestH6435 we dieH4191. 20And MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, FearH3374 not; for 10GodH430 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 to the obscurity whereH834 11GodH430 was. 22And Jehovah saidH559 to MosesH4872, ThusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 to the children of IsraelH3478: Ye have seenH7200 that I have spokenH1696 with you from the heavensH8064. 23Ye shall not makeH6213 beside me 12godsH430 of silverH3701, and ye shall not makeH6213 to you 13godsH430 of goldH2091. 24An altarH4196 of earthH127 shalt thou makeH6213 unto me, and shalt sacrificeH2076 on it thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheepH6629 and thine oxenH1241: in all placesH4725 whereH834 I shall makeH6213 my nameH8034 to be rememberedH2142, I will comeH935 unto thee, and blessH1288 thee. 25And if thou makeH6213 me an altarH4196 of stoneH68, thou shalt not buildH1129 it of hewnH1496 stoneH68; for if thou lift up thy sharp tool upon it, thou hast profanedH2490 it. 26Neither shalt thou goH5927 up by stepsH4609 unto mine altarH4196, that thy nakednessH6172 be not discovered thereon.
