Exodus 20:3
chevron_left

1
And God spake
all these words, saying,
2
I
am
the
L
ORD
thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or 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
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the
L
ORD
thy God
am
a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation
of them that hate me;
6
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7
Thou shalt not take the name of the
L
ORD
thy God in vain; for the
L
ORD
will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10
But the seventh day
is
the sabbath of the
L
ORD
thy God:
in it
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
is
within thy gates:
11
For
in
six days the
L
ORD
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is
, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the
L
ORD
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the
L
ORD
thy God giveth thee.
13
Thou shalt not kill.
14
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15
Thou shalt not steal.
16
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that
is
thy neighbour’s.
18
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw
it
, they removed, and stood afar off.
19
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God
was
.
22
And the
L
ORD
said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24
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 all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
25
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
