Exodus 20:2-17

2I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, who 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 to 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 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 to the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me; 6And showingH6213 mercyH2617 to thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687. 7Thou shalt not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in vainH7723; for the LORDH3068 will not hold him guiltlessH5352 that takethH5375 his nameH8034 in vainH7723. 8RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keep it holyH6942. 9SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labourH5647, and doH6213 all thy workH4399: 10But the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not doH6213 any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy male servantH5650, nor thy female servantH519, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179: 11For in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that is in them, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: therefore the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowedH6942 it.

12HonourH3513 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517: that thy daysH3117 may be longH748 upon the landH127 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee. 13Thou shalt not killH7523. 14Thou shalt not commit adulteryH5003. 15Thou shalt not stealH1589. 16Thou shalt not bearH6030 falseH8267 witnessH5707 against thy neighbourH7453. 17Thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbour’sH7453 houseH1004, thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbour’sH7453 wifeH802, nor his male servantH5650, nor his female servantH519, nor his oxH7794, nor his donkeyH2543, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’sH7453.
