The
Ten Commandments |
|
|
 |
| Exodus 20:1 |
|
Then God spoke all these words, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:2 |
|
"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 20:3 |
|
"You shall have no other gods before Me. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 20:4 |
|
"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or
any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water
under the earth. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 20:5 |
|
"You shall not worship them or serve them; for
I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on
the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 20:6 |
|
but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to
those who love Me and keep My commandments. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 20:7 |
|
"You shall not take the name of the LORD your
God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in
vain. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:8 |
|
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:9 |
|
"Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:10 |
|
but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD
your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your
male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:11 |
|
"For in six days the LORD made the heavens and
the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore
the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:12 |
|
"Honor your father and your mother, that your
days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:13 |
|
"You shall not murder. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:14 |
|
"You shall not commit adultery. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:15 |
|
"You shall not steal. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:16 |
|
"You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:17 |
|
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house;
you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant
or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor." |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:18 |
|
All the people perceived the thunder and the
lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when
the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:19 |
|
Then they said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself
and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, or we will die." |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 20:20 |
|
Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid;
for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain
with you, so that you may not sin." |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 20:21 |
|
So the people stood at a distance, while Moses
approached the thick cloud where God was. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:22 |
|
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Thus you shall
say to the sons of Israel, 'You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you
from heaven. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:23 |
|
'You shall not make other gods besides Me; gods
of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:24 |
|
'You shall make an altar of earth for Me, and
you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your
sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I
will come to you and bless you. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:25 |
|
'If you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall
not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane
it. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 20:26 |
|
'And you shall not go up by steps to My altar,
so that your nakedness will not be exposed on it.' |
