1 And Moses called all Is­rael, and said unto them, Hear, O Is­rael, the statutes and judg­ments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them. 2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fa­thers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 5 (I stood be­tween the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by rea­son of the fire, and went not up into the mount; ) say­ing, 6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 7 Thou shalt have none oth­er gods be­fore me. 8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven im­age, or any like­ness of any thing that is in heav­en above, or that is in the earth be­neath, or that is in the wa­ters be­neath the earth: 9 Thou shalt not bow down thy­self unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jeal­ous God, vis­it­ing the in­iq­ui­ty of the fa­thers upon the chil­dren unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 10 And shew­ing mer­cy unto thou­sands of them that love me and keep my com­mand­ments. 11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guilt­less that taketh his name in vain. 12 Keep the sab­bath day to sanc­ti­fy it, as the LORD thy God hath com­mand­ed thee. 13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 14 But the sev­enth day is the sab­bath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daugh­ter, nor thy manser­vant, nor thy maid­ser­vant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cat­tle, nor thy stranger that is with­in thy gates; that thy manser­vant and thy maid­ser­vant may rest as well as thou. 15 And re­mem­ber that thou wast a ser­vant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: there­fore the LORD thy God com­mand­ed thee to keep the sab­bath day. 16 Hon­our thy fa­ther and thy moth­er, as the LORD thy God hath com­mand­ed thee; that thy days may be pro­longed, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 17 Thou shalt not kill. 18 Nei­ther shalt thou com­mit adul­tery. 19 Nei­ther shalt thou steal. 20 Nei­ther shalt thou bear false wit­ness against thy neigh­bour. 21 Nei­ther shalt thou de­sire thy neighbour's wife, nei­ther shalt thou cov­et thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manser­vant, or his maid­ser­vant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's. 22 These words the LORD spake unto all your as­sem­bly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick dark­ness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two ta­bles of stone, and de­liv­ered them unto me. 23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the dark­ness, (for the moun­tain did burn with fire, ) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your el­ders; 24 And ye said, Be­hold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glo­ry and his great­ness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth. 25 Now there­fore why should we die? for this great fire will con­sume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. 26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the liv­ing God speak­ing out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it. 28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this peo­ple, which they have spo­ken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spo­ken. 29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my com­mand­ments al­ways, that it might be well with them, and with their chil­dren for ev­er! 30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the com­mand­ments, and the statutes, and the judg­ments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to pos­sess it. 32 Ye shall ob­serve to do there­fore as the LORD your God hath com­mand­ed you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath com­mand­ed you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may pro­long your days in the land which ye shall pos­sess.
