25
So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have
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 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 water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to 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; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that
love me, and keep my commandments. 7 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. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou
labour, and do all thy work: 10 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,
thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed
the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land
which the LORD 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 neighbour. 17 Thou 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.
18 And 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 removed,
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
your faces, that ye sin not. 21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew
near unto the thick darkness where God was.
