The Ten Commandments

20And God spoke all these words, saying:H430H1696H1697H559 2"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650 3"You shall have no other gods before Me.H312H430H6440 4"You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;H6213H6459H8544H834H8064H4605H776H4325H776 5you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,H7812H5647H3068H430H7067H410H6485H5771H1H1121H8029H7256H8130 6but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.H6213H2617H505H157H8104H4687 7"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.H5375H8034H3068H430H7723H3068H5352H5375H8034H7723 8"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.H2142H7676H3117H6942 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work,H8337H3117H5647H6213H4399 10but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is 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. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.H8337H3117H3068H6213H8064H776H3220H5117H7637H3117H3068H1288H7676H3117H6942 12"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.H3513H1H517H3117H748H127H3068H430H5414 13"You shall not murder.H7523 14"You shall not commit adultery.H5003 15"You shall not steal.H1589 16"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.H6030H8267H5707H7453 17"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."H2530H7453H1004H2530H7453H802H5650H519H7794H2543H7453

The People Afraid of God’s Presence

18Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.H5971H7200H6963H3940H6963H7782H2022H6226H5971H7200H5128H5975H7350 19Then they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die."H559H4872H1696H8085H430H1696H4191 20And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin."H4872H559H5971H3372H430H935H5668H5254H3374H6440H2398 21So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was.H5971H5975H7350H4872H5066H6205H430

The Law of the Altar

22Then the LORD said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: 'You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.H3068H559H4872H559H1121H3478H7200H1696H8064 23'You shall not make anything to be with Me—gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.H6213H430H3701H6213H430H2091 24'An altar of earth you shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I record My name I will come to you, and I will bless you.H4196H127H6213H2076H5930H8002H6629H1241H4725H2142H8034H935H1288 25'And if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you use your tool on it, you have profaned it.H6213H4196H68H1129H1496H5130H2719H2490 26'Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.'H5927H4609H4196H6172H1540
