The Ten Commandments
Deuteronomy 5:1-5, 22 (WEB)
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today,
that you may learn them, and observe to do them.” Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, (I stood between Yahweh and you at that
time, to show you Yahweh’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying, “I am
Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Yahweh spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
1. “You shall have no other gods before me.”
2. “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth: 5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
3.. “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.”
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant,
nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that
is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.”
6. “You shall not murder.”
7. “You shall not commit adultery.”
8 “You shall not steal.”
9 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.”
10. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant,
nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
