20:1And the Lord spoke all these words: "I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 20:3You will not have foreign gods before me. 20:4You will not make for yourself a carved image, nor any likeness of what is in the sky above, and what is on the earth below, nor of those things which are in the waters under the earth. 20:5You will not bow down to them, nor worship them: I am the Lord your God, strong, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me: and showing mercy to thousands, to those who love me, and keep my precepts.
20:7You will not take the name of the Lord your God in vain: for the Lord will not hold guiltless him who has taken the name of the Lord his God to no purpose. 20:8Remember that you keep holy the day of the sabbath. 20:9For six days you will labour, and you will do all your works. 20:10But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God: you will not do any work on it, you, and your son and your daughter, your manservant and your maidservant, your beast, and the newcomer who is within your gates. 20:11For in six days the Lord made the sky and the earth, and the sea, and all the things which are in them, and rested on the seventh day: for that reason the Lord blessed the day of the sabbath, and sanctified it.
20:12Honour your father and your mother, so that you may be long-lived upon the land, which the Lord your God will give you. 20:13You will not kill. 20:14You will not commit adultery. 20:15You will not commit theft. 20:16You will not speak false testimony against your neighbour. 20:17You will not covet the house of your neighbour, nor will you desire his wife, not his manservant, not his maidservant, not his ox, not his ass, nor any of the things which are his." 20:18But all the people was seeing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and, terrified and shaken with dread, they stood far off, saying to Moses: "You speak to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord speak to us, lest perhaps we die."
20:20And Moses said to the people: "Do not be afraid: for God has come to prove you, and so that the terror of him might be in you, and you might not sin." 20:21And the people stood afar off. 20:21But Moses drew near to the darkness in which God was. 20:22Moreover the Lord said to Moses: "These things you will say to the sons of Israel: 'You have seen that I have spoken to you from the sky. 20:23You will not make gods of silver, nor will you make gods of gold for yourselves. 20:24An altar of earth you will make for me, and you will offer upon it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place in which the remembrance of my name shall be: I will come to you, and I will bless you.
20:25But if you make me an altar of stone, you will not build it of cut stones: for if you lift a knife over it, it will be polluted. 20:26You will not go up by steps to my altar, lest your shame be uncovered.'"
