Deuteronomy 5:1-10

NSB(i) 1 Moses called all the people of Israel, and said: »Hear, O Israel, the regulations and laws I declare to you today. Learn them and obey them! 2 »Jehovah our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 »Jehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, all of us here alive today. 4 »Jehovah talked with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, 5 »I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah. You were afraid because of the fire. So you would not go up onto the mountain. He said: 6 »‘I am Jehovah your God. I brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 7 »‘Do not have any other god but me. 8 »‘Do not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above, or on the earth below, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 9 »‘Do not bow down to them. Do not serve them! For I Jehovah your God am a totally demanding zealous God. I require exclusive devotion and punish the fathers and children who hate me to the third and fourth generation. 10 »‘I show loving kindness to thousands of generations who love me and obey my commandments.
