Exodus 20
1 And God speaks all these words, saying,
And the Lord spoke all these words:
2 “I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 You have no other Gods before Me.
Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
4 You do not make a carved image for yourself, 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 shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
5 You do not bow yourself to them, nor serve them: for I, your God YHWH, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third and on a fourth [generation] of those hating Me,
Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
6 and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 You do not take up the Name of your God YHWH for a vain thing, for YHWH does not acquit him who takes up His Name for a vain thing.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.
8 Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it;
Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day.
9 six days you labor and have done all your work,
Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.
10 and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to your God YHWH; you do not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your manservant, and your handmaid, and your livestock, and your sojourner who is within your gates—
But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.
11 for [in] six days YHWH has made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rests in the seventh day; therefore YHWH has blessed the Sabbath day and sanctifies it.
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.
12 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee.
13 You do not murder.
Thou shalt not kill.
14 You do not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 You do not steal.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 You do not answer [with] a false testimony against your neighbor.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 You do not desire the house of your neighbor, you do not desire the wife of your neighbor, or his manservant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything which [is] your neighbor’s.”
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
18 And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand far off,
And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking: and being terrified and struck with fear, they stood afar off,
19 and say to Moses, “Speak with us, and we hear, and do not let God speak with us, lest we die.”
Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord speak to us, lest we die.
20 And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to try you, and in order that His fear may be before your faces—that you do not sin.”
And Moses said to the people: Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.
21 And the people stand far off, and Moses has drawn near to the thick darkness where God [is].
And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was.
22 And YHWH says to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens;
And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 you do not make gods of silver and gods of gold [to be] with Me—you do not make [any idol] for yourselves.
You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold.
24 You make an altar of earth for Me, and you have sacrificed on it your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, your flock and your herd; in every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I come to you, and have blessed you.
You shall make an altar of earth unto me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be: I will come to thee, and will bless thee.
25 And if you make an altar of stones for Me, you do not build them of hewn work; when you have waved your tool over it, then you defile it;
And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be defiled.
26 neither do you go up by steps on My altar, that your nakedness is not revealed on it.
Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness be discovered.
