1 The Ten Commandments
Moses called all of Israel together and told them: “Listen, Israel! Today I’m going to announce God’s laws and regulations so that you will learn them and take care to obey them.
2 When the LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb,
3 it was not with our ancestors that the LORD made this covenant, but with us—we who are here today—all of us who are now living.
4 The LORD spoke to you face to face on the mountain from the fire.
5 I stood at that time as mediator between the LORD and you to declare his message to you, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. He said:א
6 “‘I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt—from the house of slavery.ב
7 “‘You are to have no other gods besides me
8 “You are not to make for yourselves a carved image resembling any form in the heavens above, on earth below, or in the waters under the earth.
9 You are not to bow down to them in worship or serve them, because I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the iniquity of their parents to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me,
10 but showing gracious love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.ג
11 “‘You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, because the LORD will not leave the one who misues his name unpunished.ד
12 “‘You are to keep the Sabbath day holy, just as the LORD your God commanded.
13 Six days you are to labor and do all your work,
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath for the LORD your God. You are not to do any work—neither you, your children, your male and female servants, your oxen and donkeys, nor any of your livestock—as well as any of the foreigners who live among you, so that your male and female servants may rest as you do.
15 You are to remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, but the LORD your God brought you out from there with great power and a show of force. Therefore, the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.ה
16 “‘You are to honor your father and your mother, just as the LORD your God commanded you, so that your life will be long and things will go well for you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.ו
17 “‘You are not to murder.ז
18 “‘You are not to commit adultery.ח
19 “‘You are not to steal.ט
20 “‘You are not to testify falsely against your neighbor.י
21 “‘You are not to desire your neighbor’s wife nor covet your neighbor’s house, his fields, his male and female servants, his ox, his donkey, nor anything that concerns your neighbor.’”
