Deuteronomy 5:17-33

17You must not murder.

18You must not commit adultery.

19You must not steal.

20You must not offer false testimony against another.

21You must not desire another man’s wife, nor should you crave his house, his field, his male and female servants, his ox, his donkey, or anything else he owns.”

22The Lord said these things to your entire assembly at the mountain from the middle of the fire, the cloud, and the darkness with a loud voice, and that was all he said. Then he inscribed the words on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

23Then, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness while the mountain was ablaze, all your tribal leaders and elders approached me.

24You said, “The Lord our God has shown us his great glory and we have heard him speak from the middle of the fire. It is now clear to us that God can speak to human beings and they can keep on living.

25But now, why should we die, because this intense fire will consume us! If we keep hearing the voice of the Lord our God we will die!

26Who is there from the entire human race who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the middle of the fire as we have, and has lived?

27You go near so that you can hear everything the Lord our God is saying and then you can tell us whatever he says to you; then we will pay attention and do it.”

28When the Lord heard you speaking to me, he said to me, “I have heard what these people have said to you – they have spoken well.

29If only it would really be their desire to fear me and obey all my commandments in the future, so that it may go well with them and their descendants forever.

30Go and tell them, ‘Return to your tents!’

31But as for you, remain here with me so I can declare to you all the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that you are to teach them, so that they can carry them out in the land I am about to give them.”

32Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left!

33Walk just as he has commanded you so that you may live, that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land you are going to possess.
