Deuteronomy 5:1-10 ▼

1 Now Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: “Listen, Israel, to the statutes and ordinances which I am speaking today for you to hear, so that you may learn them and be careful to do them.

2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

3 The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, all of us who are alive here today.

4 The LORD spoke with you face to face at the mountain from the midst of the fire,

5 while I was standing between the LORD and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the LORD; for you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up on the mountain. He said,

6 ‘I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

7 ‘You shall have no other gods besides Me.

8 ‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.

9 You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, inflicting the punishment of the fathers on the children, even on the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

10 but showing favor to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
