1 And God spake all these words, say­ing, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no oth­er gods be­fore me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto 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 wa­ter un­der the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thy­self to 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; 6 And shew­ing mer­cy unto thou­sands of them that love me, and keep my com­mand­ments. 7 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. 8 Re­mem­ber the sab­bath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 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, thy manser­vant, nor thy maid­ser­vant, nor thy cat­tle, nor thy stranger that is with­in thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heav­en and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rest­ed the sev­enth day: where­fore the LORD blessed the sab­bath day, and hal­lowed it. 12 Hon­our thy fa­ther and thy moth­er: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not com­mit adul­tery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false wit­ness against thy neigh­bour. 17 Thou shalt not cov­et thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not cov­et thy neighbour's wife, nor his manser­vant, nor his maid­ser­vant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. 18 And all the peo­ple saw the thun­der­ings, and the light­nings, and the noise of the trum­pet, and the moun­tain smok­ing: and when the peo­ple saw it, they re­moved, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the peo­ple, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be be­fore your faces, that ye sin not. 21 And the peo­ple stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick dark­ness where God was. 22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the chil­dren of Is­rael, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heav­en. 23 Ye shall not make with me gods of sil­ver, nei­ther shall ye make unto you gods of gold. 24 An al­tar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sac­ri­fice there­on thy burnt of­fer­ings, and thy peace of­fer­ings, thy sheep, and thine ox­en: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. 25 And if thou wilt make me an al­tar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast pol­lut­ed it. 26 Nei­ther shalt thou go up by steps unto mine al­tar, that thy naked­ness be not dis­cov­ered there­on.
