Deuteronomy 5:2–22

²The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

³He made not the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are now present and living.

⁴He spoke to us face to face in the mount out of the midst of fire.

⁵I was the mediator and stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you his words, for you feared the fire, and went not up into the mountain, and he said:

⁶I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

⁷Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight.

⁸Thou shalt not make to thy self a graven thing, nor the likeness of any things, that are in heaven above, or that are in the earth beneath, or that abide in the waters under the earth.

⁹Thou shalt not adore them, and thou shalt not serve them. For I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children unto the third and fourth generation, to them that hate me,

¹⁰And shewing mercy unto many thousands, to them that love me, and keep my commandments.

¹¹Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for he shall not be unpunished that taketh his name upon a vain thing.

¹²Observe the day of the sabbath, to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.

¹³Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.

¹⁴The seventh is the day of the sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not do any work therein, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy beasts, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest, even as thyself.

¹⁵Remember that thou also didst serve in Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out from thence with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm. Therefore hath he commanded thee that thou shouldst observe the sabbath day.

¹⁶Honour thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.

¹⁷Thou shalt not kill.

¹⁸Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

¹⁹And thou shalt not steal.

²⁰Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

²¹Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife: nor his house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.

²²These words the Lord spoke to all the multitude of you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire and the cloud, and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more: and he wrote them in two tables of stone, which he delivered unto me.
