Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words, saying,
Then God spake all these wordes, 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 thy God, which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Do not have other gods before me.
Thou shalt haue none other Gods before me.
4 "Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt make thee no grauen image, neither any similitude of things that are in heauen aboue, neither that are in the earth beneath, nor that are in the waters vnder the earth.
5 you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation] of those who hate me,
Thou shalt not bowe downe to them, neither serue them: for I am the Lord thy God, a ielous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vpon the third generation and vpon the fourth of them that hate me:
6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
And shewing mercie vnto thousandes to them that loue me, and keepe my commandemets.
7 "Do 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.
Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not hold him guiltles that taketh his Name in vayne.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keepe it holy.
9 Six days you may labor, and do all your work,
Sixe dayes shalt thou labour, and doe all thy worke,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
But the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any worke, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy mayde, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.
11 for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the seventh day, and made it holy.
For in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth day: therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy dayes may be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
13 "Do not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not kill.
14 "Do not murder.
Thou shalt not commit adulterie.
15 "Do not steal.
Thou shalt not steale.
16 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Thou shalt not beare false witnes against thy neighbour.
17 "Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house, neither shalt thou couet thy neighbours wife, nor his man seruant, nor his mayde, nor his oxe, nor his asse, neyther any thing that is thy neighbours.
18 And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, and the people were afraid and trembled and kept their distance.
And all the people sawe the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountaine smoking and when the people saw it they fled and stoode afare off,
19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."
And sayde vnto Moses, Talke thou with vs, and we will heare: but let not God talke with vs, lest we die.
20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
Then Moses sayde vnto the people, Feare not: for God is come to proue you, and that his feare may be before you, that ye sinne not.
21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
So the people stoode afarre off, but Moses drew neere vnto the darkenes where God was.
22 The LORD said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Thus thou shalt say vnto the children of Israel, Ye haue seene that I haue talked with you from heauen.
23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of siluer, nor gods of golde: you shall make you none.
24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
An altar of earth thou shalt make vnto me, and thereon shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheepe, and thine oxen: in all places, where I shall put the remembrance of my Name, I will come vnto thee, and blesse thee.
25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
But if thou wilt make mee an altar of stone, thou shalt not buylde it of hewen stones: for if thou lift vp thy toole vpon them, thou hast polluted them.
26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
Neither shalt thou goe vp by steppes vnto mine altar, that thy filthines be not discouered thereon.
