Deuteronomy 5:1-21

Thomson(i) 1 When Moses had convened all Israel, he said to them Hear, Israel, the rules of rectitude and the judgments, which I this day deliver in your hearing, that you may learn them, and may be careful to perform them. 2 The Lord your God made a covenant with you at Choreb. 3 It was not only with your fathers that the Lord made this covenant, but with you also; with you who are all here alive this day. 4 Face to face the Lord spoke to you, at that mountain, out of the midst of the fire. 5 I indeed stood between the Lord and you, at that time, to declare to you the words of the Lord, because you were terrified at the fire, and did not go up to the mountain; 6 and he said, I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 7 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 8 Thou shalt not make for thyself an idol, nor the likeness of any thing in the heaven above, or of any of the things which are on the earth below, or which are in the waters below the earth. 9 Thou shalt not worship them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a zealous God, retributing, to them who hate me, the sins of fathers upon children, to the third and fourth generation, 10 and shewing mercy for thousands [of generations] to them who love me, and keep my commandments. 11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy God will not purify him who taketh his name in vain. 12 Keep the day of the sabbaths to hallow it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. 13 Labour six days, and do all thy works; 14 but on the seventh day are the sabbaths for the Lord thy God. On it thou shalt not do any work; neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man servant nor thy maid servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor the proselyte who sojourneth with thee; that thy man servant, and thy maid servant, and thy labouring beast may rest as well as thou. 15 Remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm; for this cause the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbaths and hallow it. 16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst live long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 17 Thou shalt not commit murder. 18 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 19 Thou shalt not steal. 20 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 21 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor any thing which is thy neighbour's.
