Exodus 20
- 1 And God said all these words:
- 2 I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
- 3 You are to have no other gods but me.
- 4 You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
- 5 You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
- 6 And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
- 7 You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
- 8 Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
- 9 On six days do all your work:
- 10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:
- 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
- 12 Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
- 13 Do not put anyone to death without cause.
- 14 Do not be false to the married relation.
- 15 Do not take the property of another.
- 16 Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
- 17 Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.
- 18 And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
- 19 And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
- 20 And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
- 21 And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.
- 22 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven
- 23 Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.
- 24 Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.
- 25 And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.
- 26 And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.
