| Exodus 20: (ASV) |
| 1) And God spake all these words, saying, |
| 2) I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. |
| 3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. |
| 4) Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: |
| 5) thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, |
| 6) and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. |
| 7) Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. |
| 8) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. |
| 9) Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; |
| 10) but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: |
| 11) for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. |
| 12) Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. |
| 13) Thou shalt not kill. |
| 14) Thou shalt not commit adultery. |
| 15) Thou shalt not steal. |
| 16) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. |
| 17) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's. |
| 18) And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off. |
| 19) And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die. |
| 20) And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not. |
| 21) And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. |
| 22) And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. |
| 23) Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you. |
| 24) An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. |
| 25) And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. |
| 26) Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon. |
