Exodus
The Commandments of the Lord
1
And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no
other gods before me.
4 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 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 mercy unto
thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
7 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.
9 Six days shalt thou
labor, and do all thy work:
10 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 in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day,
and hallowed it.
12 Honor thy father and
thy mother: that thy days may be long upon
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit
adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor.
17 Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor
his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass,
nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
18 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 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 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 And the people stood
afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick
darkness where God was.
22 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 Ye shall not make
with me gods of silver, neither shall ye
make unto you gods of gold.
24 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 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 shalt thou go
up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
nakedness be not discovered thereon. |
