Exodus 20:2-7

2I am YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, which have broughtH3318 thee out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650.1

3Thou shalt have no otherH312 godsH430 before meH6440.

4Thou shalt not makeH6213 unto thee any graven imageH6459, or any likenessH8544 of any thing thatH834 is in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or that is in the earthH776 beneath, or that is in the waterH4325 under the earthH776:

5Thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them: for I YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;

6And shewingH6213 mercyH2617 unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687.

7Thou shalt not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 in vainH7723; for YhwhH3068 will not hold him guiltlessH5352 that takethH5375 his nameH8034 in vainH7723.
