Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words, saying,
AND God spake 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 thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Do not have other gods before me.
Thou shalt have no 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 not make unto thee 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 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 bow down thyself 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 showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
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 vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh 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 may labor, and do all your work,
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
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 seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, 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 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, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 "Do not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not kill.
14 "Do not murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 "Do not steal.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Thou shalt not bear false witness 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 covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
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 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 afar 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 they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, 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."
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness 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 said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
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 unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless 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.
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 shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
