< Exodus 20 >
1 And he spoke God all the words these saying.
God spoke all these words:
2 (I *L(p)*) [am] Yahweh (God your *L(p)*) who I brought out you from [the] land of Egypt (from a house of *L(p)*) (slaves. *L(b+p)*)
“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 Not it will be[long] (to you gods other *L(p)*) on (face my. *L(p)*)
You must have no other gods before me.
4 Not you must make (for yourself *L(p)*) an image - and any (form *L(p)*) (which *L(b+p)*) [is] in the heavens - (above *L(p)*) (and which *L(b+p)*) ([is] on the earth beneath and which [is] in the waters - from under to the earth. *L(p)*)
You must not make for yourself a carved figure nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water below.
5 Not (you must bow down to them *L(p)*) and not (you must be enticed to serve them *L(p)*) for I Yahweh God your [am] a God jealous visiting iniquity of fathers on children on a third generation and on a fourth generation (of [those who] hate me. *L(p)*)
You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God. I punish the ancestors' wickedness by bringing punishment on the descendants, to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me.
6 (And doing covenant loyalty to thousands *L(p)*) to [those who] love me and to [those who] keep commandments my.
But I show covenant faithfulness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 Not you must take [the] name of Yahweh God your for emptiness for not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [the one] who he will take name his for emptiness.
You must not take the name of Yahweh your God, in vain, for I will not hold guiltless anyone who takes my name in vain.
8 (Remember *L(p)*) ([the] day of the sabbath to set apart as holy it. *L(p)*)
Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart to me.
9 (Six days you will labor and you will do *L(p)*) all (work your. *L(p)*)
You must labor and do all your work for six days.
10 And [the] day (seventh [is] a sabbath - *L(p)*) to Yahweh (God your *L(p)*) not (you must do *L(p)*) any (work *L(p)*) you - and son your (and daughter your [male] servant your and female servant your and livestock your and sojourner your who [is] in gates your. *L(p)*)
But the seventh day is a Sabbath for Yahweh your God. On it you must not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your cattle, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
11 For six days he made Yahweh the heavens and the earth the sea and all that [is] in them and he rested on the day seventh there-fore he blessed Yahweh [the] day of the sabbath and he set apart as holy it.
For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and earth, the sea, and everything that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
12 Honor father your and mother your so that they may be long! days your on the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
13 (Not you must murder. *L(p)*)
You must not murder anyone.
14 (Not you must commit adultery. *L(p)*)
You must not commit adultery.
15 (Not you must steal. *L(p)*)
You must not steal from anyone.
16 Not you must testify against neighbor your testimony of falsehood.
You must not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 Not you must covet [the] house of neighbor your not you must covet [the] wife of neighbor your and [male] servant his and female servant his and ox his and donkey his and all that [belongs] to neighbor your.
You must not covet your neighbor's house; you must not covet your neighbor's wife, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
18 And all the people [were] seeing the thunder claps and the lightning and [the] sound of the ram's horn and the mountain smoking and it saw the people and they trembled and they stood from a distance.
All the people saw the thundering and the lightning, and heard the voice of the trumpet, and saw the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled and stood far off.
19 And they said to Moses speak you with us so let us listen and may not he speak with us God lest we should die.
They said to Moses, “Speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”
20 And he said Moses to the people may not you be afraid for in order to put to [the] test you he has come God and in order that may be fear his on faces your to not you will sin.
Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you so that the honor of him may be in you, and so that you do not sin.”
21 And it stood the people from a distance and Moses he drew near to the thick darkness where [was] there God.
So the people stood far off, and Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
22 And he said Yahweh to Moses thus you will say to [the] people of Israel you you have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you.
Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you must tell the Israelites: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Not you must make! with me gods of silver and gods of gold not you must make for yourselves.
You will not make for yourselves other gods alongside me, gods of silver or gods of gold.
24 An altar of earth you will make for me and you will sacrifice on it burnt offerings your and peace offerings your sheep your and cattle your in every place where I will cause to be remembered name my I will come to you and I will bless you.
You must make an earthen altar for me, and you must sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, fellowship offerings, sheep, and oxen. In every place where I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
25 And if an altar of stones you will make for me not you must build them hewn [stone] for tool your you have wielded on it and you have profaned it.
If you make me an altar of stone, you must not build it of cut stones, for if you use your tools on it, you will have defiled it.
26 And not you must go up on steps to altar my that not it will be uncovered nakedness your on it.
You must not go up to my altar on steps, so that your nakedness is not exposed.'”
