Deuteronomy 5:2-22

2The LordH3068 our GodH430 madeH3772 1a covenantH1285 with us at HorebH2722. 32The LordH3068 did not makeH3772 thisH2088 covenantH1285 with our fathersH1, but with us, allH3605 3of us who are aliveH2416 hereH6311 todayH3117. 4The LordH3068 spokeH1696 with you 4faceH6440 to faceH6440 at the mountainH2022 5from the midstH8432 of the fireH784, 5while 6I was standingH5975 betweenH996 the LordH3068 and you at that timeH6256, to declareH5046 to you the wordH1697 of the LordH3068; 7for you wereH3372 afraidH3372 becauseH4480H6440 of the fireH784, and you did not goH5927 upH5927 on the mountainH2022. 8He saidH559,

6‘9I am the LordH3068 your GodH430 whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of 10slaveryH5650.

7‘11You shall haveH1961 noH3808 otherH312 godsH430 besidesH5921H6440 Me.

8‘12You shall not makeH6213 for yourself a carvedH6459 imageH6459, or anyH3605 13likenessH8544 of whatH834 is in heavenH8064 aboveH4480H4605 14or on the earthH776 beneathH4480H8478 15or in the waterH4325 underH8478 the earthH776. 9You shall not worshipH2331 them norH3808 serveH5647 them; for I, the LordH3068 your GodH430, am a jealousH7067 GodH410, 16inflictingH6485 the 17punishmentH5771 of the fathersH1 on the childrenH1121, 18even on the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generations of those who hateH8130 Me, 10but 19showingH6213 20favorH2617 to thousandsH505, to those who loveH157 Me and keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687.

11‘21You shall not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 22in vainH7723, for the LordH3068 will not 23leaveH5352 unpunishedH5352 the one whoH834 takesH5375 His nameH8034 in vainH7723.

12‘24KeepH8104 the SabbathH7676 dayH3117 to treatH6942 it asH6942 holyH6942, as the LordH3068 your GodH430 commandedH6680 you. 13For sixH8337 daysH3117 you 25shall laborH5647 and doH6213 allH3605 your workH4399, 14but 26the 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 27residentH1616 whoH834 28stays with you, soH4616 thatH4616 your maleH5650 slaveH5650 and your femaleH519 slaveH519 may restH5117 as well as you. 1529And 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 30celebrateH6213 the SabbathH7676 dayH3117.

16‘31HonorH3513 your fatherH1 and your motherH517, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has commandedH6680 you, 32soH4616 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‘33You shall not murderH7523.

18‘34You shall not commitH5003 adulteryH5003.

19‘35You shall not stealH1589.

20‘36You shall not giveH6030 falseH7723 testimonyH5707 against your neighborH7453.

21‘37You 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.’

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. 38He wroteH3789 them on twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of stoneH68 and gaveH5414 them to me.
