20GOD spoke all these words:H430H1696H1697H559 2I am GOD, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a life of slavery.H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650 3No other gods, only me.H312H430H6440 4No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim.H6213H6459H8544H834H8064H4605H776H4325H776 5Don't bow down to them and don't serve them because I am GOD, your God, and I'm a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me.H7812H5647H3068H430H7067H410H6485H5771H1H1121H8029H7256H8130 6But I'm unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.H6213H2617H505H157H8104H4687 7No using the name of GOD, your God, in curses or silly banter; GOD won't put up with the irreverant use of his name.H5375H8034H3068H430H7723H3068H5352H5375H8034H7723 8Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.H2142H7676H3117H6942 9Work six days and do everything you need to do.H8337H3117H5647H6213H4399 10But the seventh day is a Sabbath to GOD, your God. Don't do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town.H7637H3117H7676H3068H430H6213H4399H1121H1323H5650H519H929H1616H8179 11For in six days GOD made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore GOD blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.H8337H3117H3068H6213H8064H776H3220H5117H7637H3117H3068H1288H7676H3117H6942 12Honor your father and mother so that you'll live a long time in the land that GOD, your God, is giving you.H3513H1H517H3117H748H127H3068H430H5414 13No murder.H7523 14No adultery.H5003 15No stealing.H1589 16No lies about your neighbor.H6030H8267H5707H7453 17No lusting after your neighbor's house—or wife or servant or maid or ox or donkey. Don't set your heart on anything that is your neighbor's.H2530H7453H1004H2530H7453H802H5650H519H7794H2543H7453 18All the people, experiencing the thunder and lightning, the trumpet blast and the smoking mountain, were afraid—they pulled back and stood at a distance.H5971H7200H6963H3940H6963H7782H2022H6226H5971H7200H5128H5975H7350 19They said to Moses, "You speak to us and we'll listen, but don't have God speak to us or we'll die."H559H4872H1696H8085H430H1696H4191 20Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. God has come to test you and instill a deep and reverent awe within you so that you won't sin."H4872H559H5971H3372H430H935H5668H5254H3374H6440H2398 21The people kept their distance while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.H5971H5975H7350H4872H5066H6205H430 22GOD said to Moses, "Give this Message to the People of Israel: 'You've experienced firsthand how I spoke with you from Heaven.H3068H559H4872H559H1121H3478H7200H1696H8064 23Don't make gods of silver and gods of gold and then set them alongside me.H6213H430H3701H6213H430H2091 24Make me an earthen Altar. Sacrifice your Whole-Burnt-Offerings, your Peace-Offerings, your sheep, and your cattle on it. Every place where I cause my name to be honored in your worship, I'll be there myself and bless you.H4196H127H6213H2076H5930H8002H6629H1241H4725H2142H8034H935H1288 25If you use stones to make my Altar, don't use dressed stones. If you use a chisel on the stones you'll profane the Altar.H6213H4196H68H1129H1496H5130H2719H2490 26Don't use steps to climb to my Altar because that will expose your nakedness.'H5927H4609H4196H6172H1540
