Exodus 20

1 And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:

And God spoke all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

I am the LORD your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 You shall have no other gods beside me.

You shall have no other gods before me.

4 You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.

You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,

You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.

And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days you shall labor, and shall perform all your work.

Six days shall you labour, and do all your work:

10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.

Honour your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God gives you.

13 You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not kill.

14 You shall not steal.

You shall not commit adultery.

15 You shall not kill.

You shall not steal.

16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

17 You shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not covet your neighbor's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbour's house, you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbour's.

18 And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood far off.

19 and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.

And they said unto Moses, Speak you with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that you sin not.

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that all of you sin not.

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.

And the people stood far off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22 And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus you shall say unto the children of Israel, All of you have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

23 You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.

All of you shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall all of you make unto you gods of gold.

24 You shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.

An altar of earth you shall make unto me, and shall sacrifice thereon your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto you, and I will bless you.

25 And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.

And if you will make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone: for if you lift up your tool upon it, you have polluted it.

26 You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.

Neither shall you go up by steps unto mine altar, that your nakedness be not discovered thereon.
