Deut 5
1
And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and
the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe
to do them.
2
YHWH our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3
YHWH made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of
us here alive this day.
4
YHWH spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5
(I stood between YHWH and you at that time, to show you the word of YHWH: for you
were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
6
I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage.
7
You shall have no other gods before me.
8
You shall not make to you a graven image, [nor] any likeness [of anything] that is
in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth:
9
you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, YHWH, your God, am
a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the
third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me;
10
and showing lovingkindness to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11
You shall not take the name of YHWH your God in vain: for YHWH will not hold him guiltless
that takes his name in vain.
12
Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as YHWH your God commanded you.
13
Six days shall you labor, and do all your work;
14
but the seventh day is a sabbath to YHWH your God: [in it] you shall not do any work,
you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant,
nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger that is within
your gates; that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest as well as you.
15
And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and YHWH your
God brought you out thence by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore
YHWH your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.
16
Honor your father and your mother, as YHWH your God commanded you; that your days
may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which YHWH your God gives
you.
17
You shall not kill.
18
Neither shall you commit adultery.
19
Neither shall you steal.
20
Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.
21
Neither shall you covet your neighbor`s wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor`s
house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his ass, or
anything that is your neighbor`s.
22
These words YHWH spoke to 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 upon two tables of stone, and gave them to me.
23
And it came to pass, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while
the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of
your tribes, and your elders;
24
and you said, Behold, YHWH our God has showed 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
does speak with man, and he lives.
25
Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the
voice of YHWH our God any more, then we shall die.
26
For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking
out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27
Go you near, and hear all that YHWH our God shall say: and speak you to us all that
YHWH our God shall speak to you; and we will hear it, and do it.
28
And YHWH heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and YHWH said to me,
I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you:
they have well said all that they have spoken.
29
Oh that there were such a 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!
30
Go say to them, Return you to your tents.
31
But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak to you all the commandment,
and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do
them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32
You shall observe to do therefore as YHWH your God has commanded you: you shall not
turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33
You shall walk in all the way which YHWH your God has commanded you, that you may
live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the
land which you shall possess.
