1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1And God spoke all these words: |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You shall have no other gods before Me. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You 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. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5You 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, |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7You 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. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work, |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but 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 or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You shall not murder. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You shall not commit adultery. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15You shall not steal. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.” |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.” |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was. |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven. |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold. |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you. |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it. |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’ |
