And God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the sin of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold guiltless anyone who misuses His name. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work—you, your sons and daughters, your male or female servants, your animals, or the foreigner within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house, his wife, his servants, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
When the people saw the thunder and lightning, heard the trumpet, and saw the mountain covered with smoke, they trembled in fear and stayed at a distance. They said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen, but do not let God speak to us or we will die."
Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him will keep you from sinning." The people stayed at a distance while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites this: You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven. Do not make any gods of silver or gold to be alongside Me. Make an altar of earth for Me and sacrifice your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings—your sheep, goats, and cattle. Wherever I cause My name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you. If you make an altar of stones, do not build it with dressed stones, for using a tool will defile it. And do not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed."
