1And God spake all these words and said:
2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage.
3Thou shalt have none other gods in my sight.
4Thou shalt make thee no graven image, neither any similitude that is in heaven above, either in the earth beneath, or in the water that is beneath the earth.
5See that thou neither bow thyself unto them neither serve them: for I the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, and visit the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
6and yet shew mercy unto thousands among them that love me and keep my commandments.
7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8Remember the Sabbath day that thou sanctify it.
9Six days mayst thou labour and do all that thou hast to do:
10but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, neither thy manservant nor thy maidservant, neither thy cattle neither yet the stranger that is within thy gates.
11For in six days the LORD made both heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13Thou shalt not kill.
14Thou shalt not break wedlock.
15Thou shalt not steal.
16Thou shalt bear no false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house: neither shalt covet thy neighbour's wife, his manservant, his maid, his ox, his ass or ought that is his.
18And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the noise of the horn, and how the mountain smoked.
19And when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off and said unto Moses: talk thou with us and we will hear, but let not God talk with us, lest we die.
20And Moses said unto the people fear not, for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be among you that ye sin not.
21And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the thick cloud where God was.
22And the LORD said unto Moses: thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel: Ye have seen how that I have talked with you from out of heaven.
23Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of silver nor gods of gold: in no wise shall ye do it.
24An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me and thereon offer thy burnt offerings and thy peace offerings, and thy sheep and thine oxen. And in all places where I shall put the remembrance of my name, thither I will come unto thee and bless thee.
25But and if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, see thou make it not of hewed stone, for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou shalt pollute it.
26Moreover thou shalt not go up with steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not shewed thereon.
