| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"Six days you shall labor and do all your work, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"You shall not murder. |

| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor." |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18All the people perceived the thunder and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then they said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, or we will die." |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Then the LORD said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23You shall not make other gods besides Me; gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24'You shall make an altar of earth 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 cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25'If you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane it. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26'And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, so that your nakedness will not be exposed on it.' |
