Chapter 20 |
| 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 showing
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 labor, 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 | Honor 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 neighbor. |
| 17 | Thou shalt
not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor
his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing
that is thy neighbor'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. |
