17“1You shall not covetH2530 your neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004; 2you 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.”

183AllH3605 the peopleH5971 perceivedH7200 the 4thunderH6963 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. 195Then they saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SpeakH1696 6to us yourselfH859 and we will listenH8085; but let not GodH430 speakH1696 7to us, orH6435 we will dieH4191.” 20MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “8Do not be afraidH3372; for GodH430 has comeH935 in orderH5668 9to testH5254 you, and in orderH5668 that 10the fearH3374 of Him may 11remainH1961H6440 with you, so that you may not sinH2398.”
