Exodus 20:11-21

111For in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LordH3068 madeH6213 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776, the seaH3220 and everythingH3605 that is in them, and He restedH5117 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117; for thatH3651 reasonH3651 the LordH3068 blessedH1288 the SabbathH7676 dayH3117 and madeH6942 it holyH6942.

12“2HonorH3513 your fatherH1 and your motherH517, soH4616 thatH4616 your 3daysH3117 may be prolongedH748 on 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 8giveH6030 falseH8267 testimonyH5707 against your 9neighborH7453.

17“10You shall not covetH2530 your neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004; 11you shall not covetH2530 your neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802, or his maleH5650 slaveH5650, or his femaleH519 slaveH519, or his oxH7794, or his donkeyH2543, or anythingH3605 that belongs to your neighborH7453.”

18And 12allH3605 the peopleH5971 were watchingH7200 and hearing the 13thunderH6963 and the lightningH3940 flashesH3940, and the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226; and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it all, they trembledH5128 and stoodH5975 at a distanceH7350. 1914Then they saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SpeakH1696 15to us yourselfH859 and we will listenH8085; but do not have GodH430 speakH1696 16to us, orH6435 we will dieH4191!” 20However, MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “17Do not beH3372 afraidH3372; for GodH430 has comeH935 in orderH5668 18to testH5254 you, and in orderH5668 that 19the fearH3374 of Him may 20remainH1961H6440 with you, so that you will not sinH2398.” 21So the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 at a distanceH7350, while MosesH4872 approachedH5066 21the thickH6205 darknessH6205 whereH834H8033 GodH430 was.
