1And GodH430 spake allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, sayingH559, 2I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH834 broughtH3318 thee outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, outH3318 of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650. 3Thou shalt have noneH3808 otherH312 godsH430 beforeH6440 meH6440. 4Thou shalt notH3808 makeH6213 unto thee a gravenH6459 imageH6459, norH3808 the likenessH8544 of anyH3605 formH8544 that is in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or that is in the earthH776 beneathH8478, or that is in the waterH4325 underH8478 the earthH776: 5thou shalt notH3808 bowH7812 downH7812 thyself unto them, norH3808 serveH5647 them: for I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH430, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 uponH5921 the childrenH1121, uponH5921 the thirdH8029 and uponH5921 the fourthH7256 generationH8029 of them that hateH8130 meH5921; 6and shewing mercy unto thousandsH505, of them that loveH157 meH8104 and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687. 7Thou shalt notH3808 takeH5375 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in vainH7723; for the LORDH3068 will notH3808 hold him guiltless that taketh his nameH8034 in vainH7723. 8RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keepH6942 it holyH6942. 9SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labour, and doH6213 allH3605 thy workH4399: 10but the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a sabbathH7676 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt notH3808 doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399, thou, norH3808 thy sonH1121, norH3808 thy daughterH1323, thy manservant, norH3808 thy maidservantH519, norH3808 thy cattleH929, norH3808 thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179: 11for in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and allH3605 that in them is, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: wherefore the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517: that thy daysH3117 may be longH3117 uponH5921 the landH127 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee. 13Thou shalt do noH3808 murderH7523. 14Thou shalt notH3808 commitH5003 adulteryH5003. 15Thou shalt notH3808 stealH1589. 16Thou shalt notH3808 bear falseH8267 witnessH5707 againstH7453 thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt notH3808 covetH2530 thy neighbour’s houseH1004, thou shalt notH3808 covetH2530 thy neighbour’s wifeH802, norH3808 his manservant, norH3808 his maidservantH519, norH3808 his oxH7794, norH3808 his ass, norH3808 anyH3605 thingH3605 that is thy neighbour’s. 18And allH3605 the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the thunderingsH6963, and the lightnings, and the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226: and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they trembledH5128, and stoodH5975 afarH7350 offH7350. 19And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 thou with usH413, and weH8085 will hearH8085: but letH408 notH408 GodH430 speakH1696 with usH413, lestH6435 weH8085 dieH4191. 20And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3374 notH408: for GodH430 is comeH935 to prove youH3588, and that his fearH3374 may be beforeH6440 youH3588, that ye sinH2398 notH408. 21And the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 afarH7350 offH7350, and MosesH4872 drewH5066 nearH5066 unto the thickH6205 darknessH6205 whereH834 GodH430 was. 22And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, ThusH3541 thou shalt sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye yourselves have seenH7200 that I have talkedH1696 with youH859 from heavenH8064. 23Ye shall notH3808 makeH6213 other godsH430 with meH3808; godsH430 of silverH3701, or godsH430 of goldH2091, ye shall notH3808 makeH6213 unto youH6213. 24An altarH4196 of earthH127 thou shalt makeH6213 unto meH413, and shalt sacrificeH2076 thereonH5921 thy burntH5930 offeringsH8002, and thy peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, thy sheepH6629, and thine oxenH1241: in everyH3605 placeH4725 whereH834 I record my nameH8034 I will comeH935 unto thee and I will blessH1288 thee. 25And ifH518 thou makeH6213 meH5921 an altarH4196 of stoneH68, thou shalt notH3808 buildH1129 it of hewnH1496 stonesH68: for ifH518 thou lift upH5921 thy toolH5130 uponH5921 it, thou hast polluted it. 26NeitherH3808 shalt thou goH5927 upH5927 by stepsH4609 unto mine altarH4196, that thy nakednessH6172 be notH3808 discovered thereonH5921.
