Deuteronomy:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Moses called to all Israel ,
and said to them ,
Hear ,
O Israel ,
the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day ,
that ye may learn them ,
and observe to do them .
*
LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb .
*
LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers ,
but with us ,
even us ,
who are all of us here alive this day .
*
LORD spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire
* (
I stood between LORD and you at that time ,
to show you the word of LORD ,
for ye were afraid because of the fire ,
and did not go up onto the mount ),
saying ,
*
I am LORD thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of bondage .
*
Thou shall have no other gods before me .
*
Thou shall not make to thee a graven image :
any likeness that is in heaven above ,
or that is on the earth beneath ,
or that is in the water under the earth .
*
Thou shall not bow down thyself to them ,
nor serve them ,
for I ,
LORD thy God ,
am a jealous God ,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children ,
and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me ,
*
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments .
*
Thou shall not take the name of LORD thy God in vain ,
for LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain .
*
Observe the Sabbath day ,
to keep it holy ,
as LORD thy God commanded thee .
*
Six days thou shall labor ,
and do all thy work ,
*
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to LORD thy God :
thou shall not do any work ,
thou ,
nor thy son ,
nor thy daughter ,
nor thy man-servant ,
nor thy maid-servant ,
nor thine ox ,
nor thy donkey ,
nor any of thy cattle ,
nor thy stranger tha
*
And thou shall remember that thou were a servant in the land of Egypt ,
and LORD thy God brought thee out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm ,
therefore LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day .
*
Honor thy father and thy mother ,
as LORD thy God commanded thee ,
that thy days may be long ,
and that it may go well with thee in the land which LORD thy God gives thee .
*
Thou shall not murder .
*
Neither shall thou commit adultery .
*
Neither shall thou steal .
*
Neither shall thou bear FALSE witness against thy neighbor .
*
Neither shall thou covet thy neighbor '
s wife .
Neither shall thou desire thy neighbor '
s house ,
his field ,
or his man-servant ,
or his maid-servant ,
his ox ,
or his donkey ,
or anything that is thy neighbor '
s .

These words LORD spoke to all your assembly on the mount out of the midst of the fire ,
of the cloud ,
and of the thick darkness ,
with a great voice ,
and he added no more .
And he wrote them upon two tablets of stone ,
and gave them to
*
And it came to pass ,
when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness ,
while the mountain was burning with fire ,
that ye came near to me ,
even all the heads of your tribes ,
and your elders .
*
And ye said ,
Behold ,
LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness ,
and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire .
We have seen this day that God speaks with man ,
and he lives .
*
Now therefore why should we die ?
For this great fire will consume us .
If we hear the voice of LORD our God any more ,
then we shall die .
*
For who is there of all flesh ,
who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire ,
as we have ,
and lived ?
*
Go thou near ,
and hear all that LORD our God shall say .
And speak thou to us all that LORD our God shall speak to thee ,
and we will hear it ,
and do it .
*
And LORD heard the voice of your words ,
when ye spoke to me .
And LORD said to me ,
I have heard the voice of the words of this people ,
which they have spoken to thee .
They have well said all that they have spoken .
*
Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me ,
and keep all my commandments always ,
that it might be well with them ,
and with their sons forever !
*
Go say to them ,
Return ye to your tents .
*
But as for thee ,
stand thou here by me ,
and I will speak to thee all the commandment ,
and the statutes ,
and the ordinances ,
which thou shall teach them ,
that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it .
*
Ye shall observe to do therefore as LORD your God has commanded you .
Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left .
*
Ye shall walk in all the way which LORD your God has commanded you ,
that ye may live ,
and that it may be well with you ,
and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess .
