Exodus 20

1And God spoke all these words, saying, 2I [am] the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above or that [is] in the earth beneath nor that [is] in the water under the earth. 5Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons unto the third and fourth generation of those that hate me 6and showing mercy unto thousands [of generations] of those that love me and keep my commandments. 7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain for the LORD will not hold guiltless anyone that takes his name in vain. 8Thou shalt remember the sabbath day, to sanctify it. 9Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work; 10but the seventh day [shall be] the sabbath of the LORD thy God; [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; 11for [in] six days the LORD made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them and rested the seventh day; therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be lengthened upon the land which the LORD thy God gives thee. 13Thou shalt not murder. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not give false testimony against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's. 18And all the people saw the thunderings and the lightnings and the noise of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw [it], they trembled and stood afar off. 19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us lest we die. 20Then Moses said unto the people, Fear not, for God is come to prove you and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21Then the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God [was]. 22And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the sons of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 23Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. 24An 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 whatever place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. 25And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. 26Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto my altar that thy nakedness not be discovered thereon.:
