Deuteronomy - ch 5 v 1 - 20
- And Moses sent for all Israel, and said to them, Give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I give you today, and give attention to them so that you may keep and do them.
- The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.
- The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.
- The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,
- (I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain;) saying,
- I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
- You are to have no other gods but me.
- You may not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven or on earth or in the waters under the earth:
- 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;
- And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

- And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day.
- Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
- Do not put anyone to death without cause.
- Do not be false to the married relation.
- Do not take the property of another.
- Do not give false witness against your neighbour;
