Exodus - ch 20 v 1 - 20
- `And God speaketh all these words, saying,
- I `am' Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
- `Thou hast no other Gods before Me.
- `Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which `is' in the heavens above, or which `is' in the earth beneath, or which `is' in the waters under the earth.
- Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, `am' a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third `generation', and on the fourth, of those hating Me,
- and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
- `Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.
- `Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;
- six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,
- and the seventh day `is' a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, --
- for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that `is' in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.
- `Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
- `Thou dost not murder.
- `Thou dost not commit adultery.
- `Thou dost not steal.
- `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.
- `Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which `is' thy neighbour's.'
- And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,
- and say unto Moses, `Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'
- And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces -- that ye sin not.'
