Exodus 20

1 Ref `And God speaketh all these words, saying,

2 Ref I `am' Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.

3 Ref `Thou hast no other Gods before Me.

4 Ref `Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which `is' in the heavens above, or which `is' in the earth beneath, or which `is' in the waters under the earth.

5 Ref Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, `am' a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third `generation', and on the fourth, of those hating Me,

6 Ref and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.

7 Ref `Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.

8 Ref `Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;

9 Ref six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,

10 Ref and the seventh day `is' a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, --

11 Ref for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that `is' in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.

12 Ref `Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

13 Ref `Thou dost not murder.

14 Ref `Thou dost not commit adultery.

15 Ref `Thou dost not steal.

16 Ref `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.

17 Ref `Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which `is' thy neighbour's.'

18 Ref And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,

19 Ref and say unto Moses, `Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'
