1 And God spake all these words, saying, |
|
2 I am Jehovah thy God, who 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 a graven image, nor any form of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: |
|
5 thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, |
|
6 and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. |
|
7 Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah 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 a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: |
|
11 for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and sanctified it. |
|
12 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. |
|
13 Thou shalt not murder. |
|
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 neighbors wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's. |

|
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 every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. |
|
25 And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; 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 uncovered thereon. |
