Deuteronomy 5:17-33

17‘1You shall not murder.

18‘2You shall not commit adultery.

19‘3You shall not steal.

20‘4You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

21‘5You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his male slave or his female slave, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.’

22“These words the Lord spoke to your whole assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire, from the cloud, and from the thick darkness, with a great voice, and He added nothing more. 6He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. 23And when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you approached me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders. 24You said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; we have seen today that God speaks with mankind, yet he lives. 257Now then, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, then we will die! 26For 8who is there of 9humanity who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 2710Go near and listen to everything that the Lord our God says; then speak to us everything that the Lord our God speaks to you, and we will listen and do it.’

28“Now the Lord heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, 11and the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. 2912If only they had such a heart in them, to fear Me and 13keep all My commandments always, so that 14it would go well with them and with their sons forever! 30Go, say to them, “Return to your tents.” 3115But as for you, stand here by Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which you shall teach them, so that they may 16follow them in the land which I am giving them to possess.’ 32So you shall be careful to do just as the Lord your God has commanded you; 17you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left. 3318You shall walk 19entirely in the way which the Lord your God has commanded you, 20so that you may live and that it may be well for you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.
