*
And Moses called all Israel ,
and said to them : "
Hear ,
O Israel ,
the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today ,
that you may learn them and be careful to observe them .
*
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb .
*
The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers ,
but with us ,
those who are here today ,
all of us who are alive .
*
The LORD talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire .
*
I stood between the LORD and you at that time ,
to declare to you the word of the LORD ;
for you were afraid because of the fire ,
and you did not go up the mountain .
He said :
* "
I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the house of bondage .
* "
You shall have no other gods before Me .
* "
You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above ,
or that is in the earth beneath ,
or that is in the water under the earth ;
*
you shall not bow down to them nor serve them .
For I ,
the LORD your God ,
am a jealous God ,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me ,
*
but showing mercy to thousands ,
to those who love Me and keep My commandments .
* "
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain ,
for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain .
* "
Observe the Sabbath day ,
to keep it holy ,
as the LORD your God commanded you .
*
Six days you shall labor and do all your work ,
*
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God .
In it you shall do no work :
you ,
nor your son ,
nor your daughter ,
nor your male servant ,
nor your female servant ,
nor your ox ,
nor your donkey ,
nor any of your cattle ,
nor your stranger who is within your gates ,
that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you .
*
And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt ,
and the LORD your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm ;
therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day .
* "
Honor your father and your mother ,
as the LORD your God has commanded you ,
that your days may be long ,
and that it may be well with you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you .
* "
You shall not murder .
* "
You shall not commit adultery .
* "
You shall not steal .
* "
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor .
* "
You shall not covet your neighbor '
s wife ;
and you shall not desire your neighbor '
s house ,
his field ,
his male servant ,
his female servant ,
his ox ,
his donkey ,
or anything that is your neighbor '
s .'
* "
These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly ,
in the mountain from the midst of the fire ,
the cloud ,
and the thick darkness ,
with a loud voice ;
and He added no more .
And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me .
