Deuteronomy 5

The Ten Commandments Repeated

1Now MosesH4872 summonedH7121 allH3605 IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them:

“ListenH8085, IsraelH3478, to the statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941 whichH834 I am speakingH1696 todayH3117 1for you to hearH241, so that you may learnH3925 them and beH8104 carefulH8104 to doH6213 them. 2The LordH3068 our GodH430 madeH3772 2a covenantH1285 with us at HorebH2722. 33The LordH3068 did not makeH3772 thisH2088 covenantH1285 with our fathersH1, but with us, allH3605 4of us who are aliveH2416 hereH6311 todayH3117. 4The LordH3068 spokeH1696 with you 5faceH6440 to faceH6440 at the mountainH2022 6from the midstH8432 of the fireH784, 5while 7I was standingH5975 betweenH996 the LordH3068 and you at that timeH6256, to declareH5046 to you the wordH1697 of the LordH3068; 8for you wereH3372 afraidH3372 becauseH4480H6440 of the fireH784, and you did not goH5927 upH5927 on the mountainH2022. 9He saidH559,

6‘10I am the LordH3068 your GodH430 whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of 11slaveryH5650.

7‘12You shall haveH1961 noH3808 otherH312 godsH430 besidesH5921H6440 Me.

8‘13You shall not makeH6213 for yourself a carvedH6459 imageH6459, or anyH3605 14likenessH8544 of whatH834 is in heavenH8064 aboveH4480H4605 15or on the earthH776 beneathH4480H8478 16or in the waterH4325 underH8478 the earthH776. 9You shall not worshipH2331 them norH3808 serveH5647 them; for I, the LordH3068 your GodH430, am a jealousH7067 GodH410, 17inflictingH6485 the 18punishmentH5771 of the fathersH1 on the childrenH1121, 19even on the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generations of those who hateH8130 Me, 10but 20showingH6213 21favorH2617 to thousandsH505, to those who loveH157 Me and keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687.

11‘22You shall not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 23in vainH7723, for the LordH3068 will not 24leaveH5352 unpunishedH5352 the one whoH834 takesH5375 His nameH8034 in vainH7723.

12‘25KeepH8104 the SabbathH7676 dayH3117 to treatH6942 it asH6942 holyH6942, as the LordH3068 your GodH430 commandedH6680 you. 13For sixH8337 daysH3117 you 26shall laborH5647 and doH6213 allH3605 your workH4399, 14but 27the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a SabbathH7676 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; you shall not doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 that day, you or your sonH1121 or your daughterH1323, or your maleH5650 slaveH5650 or your femaleH519 slaveH519, or your oxH7794, your donkeyH2543, or anyH3605 of your cattleH929, or your 28residentH1616 whoH834 29stays with you, soH4616 thatH4616 your maleH5650 slaveH5650 and your femaleH519 slaveH519 may restH5117 as well as you. 1530And you shall rememberH2142 that you were a slaveH5650 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LordH3068 your GodH430 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of thereH8033 by a mightyH2389 handH3027 and an outstretchedH5186 armH2220; thereforeH5921H3651 the LordH3068 your GodH430 commandedH6680 you to 31celebrateH6213 the SabbathH7676 dayH3117.

16‘32HonorH3513 your fatherH1 and your motherH517, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has commandedH6680 you, 33soH4616 thatH4616 your daysH3117 may be prolongedH748 and that it may goH3190 wellH3190 for you on the landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you.

17‘34You shall not murderH7523.

18‘35You shall not commitH5003 adulteryH5003.

19‘36You shall not stealH1589.

20‘37You shall not giveH6030 falseH7723 testimonyH5707 against your neighborH7453.

21‘38You shall not covetH2530 your neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802, norH3808 desireH183 your neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004, his fieldH7704, his maleH5650 slaveH5650 or his femaleH519 slaveH519, his oxH7794, his donkeyH2543, or anythingH3605 that belongs to your neighborH7453.’

Moses Interceded

22“TheseH428 wordsH1697 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to your wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 at the mountainH2022 from the midstH8432 of the fireH784, from the cloudH6051, and from the thickH6205 darknessH6205, with a greatH1419 voiceH6963, and He addedH3254 nothingH3808 moreH3254. 39He wroteH3789 them on twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of stoneH68 and gaveH5414 them to me. 23And when you heardH8085 the voiceH6963 from the midstH8432 of the darknessH2822, while the mountainH2022 was burningH1197 with fireH784, you approachedH7126 me, allH3605 the headsH7218 of your tribesH7626 and your eldersH2205. 24You saidH559, ‘BeholdH2005, the LordH3068 our GodH430 has shownH7200 us His gloryH3519 and His greatnessH1433, and we have heardH8085 His voiceH6963 from the midstH8432 of the fireH784; we have seenH7200 todayH2088H3117 that GodH430 speaksH1696 with mankindH120, yet he livesH2421. 2540NowH6258 then, whyH4100 should we dieH4191? For thisH2088 greatH1419 fireH784 will consumeH398 us; ifH518 we hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 our GodH430 anyH5750 longerH5750, then we will dieH4191! 26For 41whoH4310 is there of 42humanityH1320 whoH834 has heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the livingH2416 GodH430 speakingH1696 from the midstH8432 of the fireH784, as we have, and livedH2421? 2743GoH7126 nearH7126 and listenH8085 to everythingH3605 that the LordH3068 our GodH430 saysH559; then speakH1696 to us everythingH3605 that the LordH3068 our GodH430 speaksH1696 to you, and we will listenH8085 and doH6213 it.’

28“Now the LordH3068 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of your wordsH1697 when you spokeH1696 to me, 44and the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘I have heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 whichH834 they have spokenH1696 to you. They have doneH3190 wellH3190 in allH3605 that they have spokenH1696. 2945IfH4310H5414 onlyH4310H5414 they hadH1961 suchH2088 a heartH3824 in them, to fearH3372 Me and 46keepH8104 allH3605 My commandmentsH4687 alwaysH3605H3117, soH4616 thatH4616 47it would goH3190 wellH3190 with them and with their sonsH1121 foreverH5769! 30GoH1980, sayH559 to them, “ReturnH7725 to your tentsH168.” 3148But as for you, standH5975 hereH6311 by Me, that I may speakH1696 to you allH3605 the commandmentsH4687, the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941 whichH834 you shall teachH3925 them, so that they may 49followH6213 them in the landH776 whichH834 I am givingH5414 them to possessH3423.’ 32So you shall beH8104 carefulH8104 to doH6213 justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has commandedH6680 you; 50you shall not turnH5493 asideH5493 to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040. 3351You shall walkH1980 52entirelyH3605 in the wayH1870 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has commandedH6680 you, 53soH4616 thatH4616 you may liveH2421 and that it may be wellH2895 for you, and that you may prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH776 whichH834 you will possessH3423.
