Exodus
20
Exo
20:1 God spoke all these words, saying,
Exo
20:2 "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo
20:3 You shall have no other gods before me.
Exo
20:4 "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image
of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo
20:5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I,
Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of
those who hate me,
Exo
20:6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me
and keep my commandments.
Exo
20:7 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain,
for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Exo
20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo
20:9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work,
Exo
20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall
not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your
male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your
stranger who is within your gates;
Exo
20:11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed
the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
Exo
20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be
long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
Exo
20:13 "You shall not murder.
Exo
20:14 "You shall not commit adultery.
Exo
20:15 "You shall not steal.
Exo
20:16 "You shall not give false testimony against your
neighbor.
Exo
20:17 "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."
Exo
20:18 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the
sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw
it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
Exo
20:19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will
listen; but don't let God speak with us, lest we die."
Exo
20:20 Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has
come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't
sin."
Exo
20:21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the
thick darkness where God was.
Exo
20:22 Yahweh said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the
children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with
you from heaven.
Exo
20:23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of
silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
Exo
20:24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice
on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and
your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you
and I will bless you.
Exo
20:25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of
cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
Exo
20:26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your
nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
