Exodus 20
1 And God speaks all these words, saying,
And God spoke all these words, saying,
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 have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 You have no other Gods before Me.
Thou shalt have no other 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 unto thyself any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 bow thyself down to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy 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 doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
And showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of 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 taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it;
Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.
9 six days you labor and have done all your work,
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work.
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 the seventh day is the sabbath in honor of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt not do any work, neither thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy 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 the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed 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.
Honor thy father and thy mother; in order that thy days may be prolonged upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth 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 neighbor.
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 neighbor's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
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 perceived the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the cornet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they removed trembling, and 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.”
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with 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 unto the people, Fear not; for in order to prove you, did God come, and in order that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
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, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where 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 unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that from heaven I have spoken with you.
23 you do not make gods of silver and gods of gold [to be] with Me—you do not make [any idol] for yourselves.
Ye shall not make any thing with me; gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make unto yourselves.
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.
An altar of earth shalt thou make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thy oxen; in every place where I shall permit my name to be mentioned, I will come unto thee, and I 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 wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26 neither do you go up by steps on My altar, that your nakedness is not revealed on it.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps upon my altar, that thy nakedness be not laid open thereon.
