The Ten Commandments

20THEN GOD spoke all these words:H430H1696H1697H559 2I am the Lord your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650 3You shall have no other gods before {or} besides Me.H312H430H6440 4You shall not make yourself any graven image [to worship it] or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;H6213H6459H8544H834H8064H4605H776H4325H776 5You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,H7812H5647H3068H430H7067H410H6485H5771H1H1121H8029H7256H8130 6But showing mercy {and} steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.H6213H2617H505H157H8104H4687 7You shall not use {or} repeat the name of the Lord your God in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely]; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.H5375H8034H3068H430H7723H3068H5352H5375H8034H7723 8[Earnestly] remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy (withdrawn from common employment and dedicated to God).H2142H7676H3117H6942 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work,H8337H3117H5647H6213H4399 10But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, your daughter, your manservant, your maidservant, your domestic animals, or the sojourner within your gates.H7637H3117H7676H3068H430H6213H4399H1121H1323H5650H519H929H1616H8179 11For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it [set it apart for His purposes].H8337H3117H3068H6213H8064H776H3220H5117H7637H3117H3068H1288H7676H3117H6942 12Regard (treat with honor, due obedience, and courtesy) your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land the Lord your God gives you.H3513H1H517H3117H748H127H3068H430H5414 13You shall not commit murder.H7523 14You shall not commit adultery.H5003 15You shall not steal.H1589 16You shall not witness falsely against your neighbor.H6030H8267H5707H7453 17You shall not covet your neighbor's house, your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.H2530H7453H1004H2530H7453H802H5650H519H7794H2543H7453 18Now all the people perceived the thunderings and the lightnings and the noise of the trumpet and the smoking mountain, and as [they] looked they trembled with fear {and} fell back and stood afar off.H5971H7200H6963H3940H6963H7782H2022H6226H5971H7200H5128H5975H7350 19And they said to Moses, You speak to us and we will listen, but let not God speak to us, lest we die.H559H4872H1696H8085H430H1696H4191 20And Moses said to the people, Fear not; for God has come to prove you, so that the [reverential] fear of Him may be before you, that you may not sin.H4872H559H5971H3372H430H935H5668H5254H3374H6440H2398 21And the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.H5971H5975H7350H4872H5066H6205H430 22And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the Israelites, You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven.H3068H559H4872H559H1121H3478H7200H1696H8064 23You shall not make [gods to share] with Me [My glory and your worship]; gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.H6213H430H3701H6213H430H2091 24An altar of earth you shall make to Me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I record My name and cause it to be remembered I will come to you and bless you.H4196H127H6213H2076H5930H8002H6629H1241H4725H2142H8034H935H1288 25And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone, for if you lift up a tool upon it you have polluted it.H6213H4196H68H1129H1496H5130H2719H2490 26Neither shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness be not exposed upon it.H5927H4609H4196H6172H1540
