| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said: |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7You shall have no other gods before Me. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Six days you shall labor and do all your work, |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17You shall not murder. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18You shall not commit adultery. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19You shall not steal. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived? |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.” |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’ |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.” |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. |
