^{1 Ref} And God spake all these words, saying,

^{2 Ref} I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

^{3 Ref} Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

^{4 Ref} Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor 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 Ref} Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

^{6 Ref} and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

^{7 Ref} Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

^{8 Ref} Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

^{9 Ref} Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

^{10 Ref} but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: `in it' thou shalt not do any work, 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 Ref} for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

^{12 Ref} Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

^{13 Ref} Thou shalt not kill.

^{14 Ref} Thou shalt not commit adultery.

^{15 Ref} Thou shalt not steal.

^{16 Ref} Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

^{17 Ref} 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 anything that is thy neighbor's.

^{18 Ref} And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

^{19 Ref} And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

^{20 Ref} And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.

^{21 Ref} And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

^{22 Ref} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

^{23 Ref} Ye shall not make `other gods' with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.

^{24 Ref} 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 every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.

^{25 Ref} And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

^{26 Ref} Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.
