“I am the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, who^H834 brought^H3318 you out^H3318 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, out of the house^H1004 of [fn]slavery^H5650.

Exo 20:5

Exo 20:5“You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, inflicting the [fn]punishment of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Exo 20:6

Exo 20:6but showing [fn]favor to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Exo 20:7

“You shall not take^H5375 the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 in vain^H7723, for the LORD^H3068 will not [fn]leave^H5352 him unpunished^H5352 who^H834 takes^H5375 His name^H8034 in vain^H7723.

Exo 20:8

“Remember^H2142 the Sabbath^H7676 day^H3117, to keep^H6942 it holy^H6942.

Exo 20:9

Exo 20:9“For six days you shall labor and do all your work,

Exo 20:10

Exo 20:10but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the LORD your God; on it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your [fn]resident who [fn]stays with you.

Exo 20:11

Exo 20:11“For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Exo 20:12

“Honor^H3513 your father^H1 and your mother^H517, so^H4616 that^H4616 your days^H3117 may be prolonged^H748 on the land^H127 which^H834 the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 gives^H5414 you.

Exo 20:13

“You shall not murder^H7523.

Exo 20:14

“You shall not commit^H5003 adultery^H5003.

Exo 20:15

“You shall not steal^H1589.

Exo 20:16

“You shall not [fn]give^H6030 false^H8267 testimony^H5707 against your neighbor^H7453.

Exo 20:17

“You shall not covet^H2530 your neighbor’s^H7453 house^H1004; you shall not covet^H2530 your neighbor’s^H7453 wife^H802, or his male^H5650 slave^H5650, or his female^H519 slave^H519, or his ox^H7794, or his donkey^H2543, or anything^H3605 that belongs to your neighbor^H7453.”

Exo 20:18

And all^H3605 the people^H5971 were watching^H7200 and hearing the [fn]thunder^H6963 and the lightning^H3940 flashes^H3940, and the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782, and the mountain^H2022 smoking^H6226; and when the people^H5971 saw^H7200 it all, they trembled^H5128 and stood^H5975 at a distance^H7350.

Exo 20:19

Exo 20:19Then they said to Moses, “Speak [fn]to us yourself and we will listen; but do not have God speak [fn]to us, or we will die!”

Exo 20:20

Exo 20:20However, Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may [fn]remain with you, so that you will not sin.”

Exo 20:21

Exo 20:21So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

Exo 20:22

Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “This^H3541 is^H3541 what^H3541 you shall say^H559 to the sons^H1121 of Israel^H3478: ‘You yourselves^H859 have seen^H7200 that I have spoken^H1696 [fn]to you from heaven^H8064.

Exo 20:23

Exo 20:23‘You shall not make other gods besides Me; gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves.

Exo 20:24

Exo 20:24‘You shall make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.

Exo 20:25

Exo 20:25‘And if you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your chisel on it, you will profane it.

Exo 20:26

Exo 20:26‘And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, so that your nakedness will not be exposed on it.’
