Deuteronomy 5:1–22
5 And then Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the rules and the regulations that I am speaking in your ears ⌊today⌋,a and you shall learn them, and ⌊you must observe them diligently⌋.b 2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 It was not with our ancestorsc that Yahweh made this covenant, but with these of us who are here alive today. 4 ⌊Face to face⌋d Yahweh spoke with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire. 5 I was standing ⌊between Yahweh and you⌋e at that time to reportf to you the word of Yahweh, for you were afraid because of ⌊the presence of⌋g the fire, and so you did not go up the mountain. ⌊He said⌋,h
6 ‘I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. 7 There shall not be for you other gods ⌊besides me⌋.i
8 ‘You shall not make for yourself a divine image of any type of form that is in the heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.
9 ‘You shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, punishing the guilt of fathers upon their children and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those hating me, 10 but showing loyal love to thousands of those who love me and of those who keep my commandments.
11 ‘You shall not take up the name of Yahweh your God for a worthless purpose, for Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who uses his name for a worthless purpose.
12 ‘Observe the ⌊Sabbath day⌋j to make it holy,k just as Yahweh your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall work, and you shall do all of your work, 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto Yahweh your God; you shall not do any work, or your son, or your daughter, or your slave, or your slave woman, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your domestic animals, or your resident alien who is in your ⌊towns⌋,l so that your slave and your slave woman may rest as you rest. 15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore, Yahweh your God commanded you to keep ⌊the Sabbath⌋.m
16 ‘Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, so that it will be good for youn ⌊in the land⌋o that Yahweh your God is giving to you.
18 ‘And you shall not commit adultery.
20 ‘And you shall not falsely bear evidence against your neighbor.
21 ‘And you shall not covet the wife of your neighbor, and you shall not crave the house of your neighbor, his field or his slave or his slave woman or his ox and his donkey or anything ⌊that belongs to your neighbor⌋.’p
22 “These words Yahweh spoke to your whole assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire and the very thick cloud with a loud voice, and ⌊he did not add anything⌋,q and then he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
