Exodus 20:11-21

111For in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LordH3068 madeH6213 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776, the seaH3220 and allH3605 that is in them, and restedH5117 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117; thereforeH5921H3651 the LordH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 and madeH6942 it holyH6942.

12“2HonorH3513 your fatherH1 and your motherH517, that your 3daysH3117 may be prolongedH748 in the landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 you.

13“4You shall not murderH7523.

14“5You shall not commitH5003 adulteryH5003.

15“6You shall not stealH1589.

16“7You shall not bearH6030 falseH8267 witnessH5707 against your 8neighborH7453.

17“9You shall not covetH2530 your neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004; 10you shall not covetH2530 your neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802 or his maleH5650 servantH5650 or his femaleH519 servantH519 or his oxH7794 or his donkeyH2543 or anythingH3605 that belongs to your neighborH7453.”

1811AllH3605 the peopleH5971 perceivedH7200 the 12thunderH6963 and the lightningH3940 flashesH3940 and the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782 and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226; and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they trembledH5128 and stoodH5975 at a distanceH7350. 1913Then they saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SpeakH1696 14to us yourselfH859 and we will listenH8085; but let not GodH430 speakH1696 15to us, orH6435 we will dieH4191.” 20MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “16Do not be afraidH3372; for GodH430 has comeH935 in orderH5668 17to testH5254 you, and in orderH5668 that 18the fearH3374 of Him may 19remainH1961H6440 with you, so that you may not sinH2398.” 21So the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 at a distanceH7350, while MosesH4872 approachedH5066 20the thickH6205 cloudH6205 whereH834H8033 GodH430 was.
