And Moses called
all Israel
, and said
unto them, Hear
, O Israel
, the statutes
and judgments
which I speak
in your ears
this day
, that ye may learn
them, and keep
, and do
them.
The LORD our God
made
a covenant
with us in Horeb
.
The LORD made
not this covenant
with our fathers
, but with us
, even us, who are all of us
here alive
this day
.
The LORD talked
with you face
to face
in the mount
out of the midst
of the fire
,
(I stood between the LORD
and you at that time
, to shew
you the word
of the LORD
: for ye were afraid
by reason
of the fire
, and went not up
into the mount
;) saying
,
I am the LORD thy God
, which brought thee out
of the land
of Egypt
, from the house
of bondage
.
Thou shalt have none other gods
before
me.
Thou shalt not make thee any graven image
, or any likeness
of any thing that is in heaven
above
, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the waters
beneath the earth
:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve
them: for I the LORD
thy God
am a jealous
God
, visiting
the iniquity
of the fathers
upon the children
unto the third
and fourth
generation of them that hate
me,
And shewing mercy
unto thousands
of them that love
me and keep
my commandments
.
Thou shalt not take the name
of the LORD
thy God
in vain
: for the LORD
will not hold him guiltless
that taketh
his name
in vain
.
Keep the sabbath
day
to sanctify
it, as the LORD
thy God
hath commanded
thee.
Six days
thou shalt labour
, and do
all thy work
:
But the seventh day
is the sabbath
of the LORD
thy God
: in it thou shalt not do
any work
, thou, nor thy son
, nor thy daughter
, nor thy manservant
, nor thy maidservant
, nor thine ox
, nor thine ass
, nor any of thy cattle
, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates
; that thy manservant
and thy maidservant
may rest
as well as thou.
And remember that thou wast a servant
in the land
of Egypt
, and that the LORD
thy God
brought
thee out thence through a mighty
hand
and by a stretched out
arm
: therefore the LORD
thy God
commanded
thee to keep
the sabbath
day
.
Honour thy father
and thy mother
, as the LORD
thy God
hath commanded
thee; that thy days
may be prolonged
, and that it may go well
with thee, in the land
which the LORD
thy God
giveth
thee.
Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Neither shalt thou bear false
witness
against thy neighbour
.
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's
wife
, neither shalt thou covet
thy neighbour's
house
, his field
, or his manservant
, or his maidservant
, his ox
, or his ass
, or any thing that is thy neighbour's
.
These words the LORD
spake
unto all your assembly
in the mount
out of the midst
of the fire
, of the cloud
, and of the thick darkness
, with a great
voice
: and he added no more
. And he wrote
them in two
tables
of stone
, and delivered
them unto me.
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice
out of the midst
of the darkness
, (for the mountain
did burn
with fire
,) that ye came near
unto me, even all the heads
of your tribes
, and your elders
;
And ye said, Behold, the LORD
our God
hath shewed
us his glory
and his greatness
, and we have heard
his voice
out of the midst
of the fire
: we have seen
this day
that God
doth talk
with man
, and he liveth
.
Now therefore why should we die? for this great
fire
will consume
us: if we hear
the voice
of the LORD
our God
any more
, then we shall die
.
For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard
the voice
of the living
God
speaking
out of the midst
of the fire
, as we have , and lived
?
Go thou near, and hear
all that the LORD
our God
shall say
: and speak
thou unto us all that the LORD
our God
shall speak
unto thee; and we will hear
it , and do
it .
And the LORD heard
the voice
of your words
, when ye spake
unto me; and the LORD
said
unto me, I have heard
the voice
of the words
of this people
, which they have spoken
unto thee: they have well
said all that they have spoken
.
O that there were such an
heart
in them
, that they would fear
me, and keep
all my commandments
always
, that it might be well
with them, and with their children
for ever
!
Go say
to them, Get
you into your tents
again
.
But as for thee, stand thou here by me
, and I will speak
unto thee all the commandments
, and the statutes
, and the judgments
, which thou shalt teach
them, that they may do
them in the land
which I give
them to possess
it.
Ye shall observe to do
therefore as the LORD
your God
hath commanded
you: ye shall not turn aside
to the right hand
or to the left
.
Ye shall walk in all the ways
which the LORD
your God
hath commanded
you, that ye may live
, and that it may be well
with you, and that ye may prolong
your days
in the land
which ye shall possess
.
