13:3 Touch me not, for God shall smite you if ye lay your hands upon
me, for I have not delivered the message which the Lord sent me to
deliver; neither have I told you that which ye requested that I should
tell; therefore, God will not suffer that I shall be destroyed at this
time.
13:4 But I must fulfil the commandments wherewith God has commanded me;
and because I have told you the truth ye are angry with me. And again,
because I have spoken the word of God ye have judged me that I am mad.
13:5 Now it came to pass after Abinadi had spoken these words that the
people of king Noah durst not lay their hands on him, for the Spirit of
the Lord was upon him; and his face shone with exceeding luster, even
as Moses’ did while in the mount of Sinai, while speaking with the
Lord.
13:6 And he spake with power and authority from God; and he continued
his words, saying:
13:7 Ye see that ye have not power to slay me, therefore I finish my
message. Yea, and I perceive that it cuts you to your hearts because I
tell you the truth concerning your iniquities.
13:8 Yea, and my words fill you with wonder and amazement, and with
anger.
13:9 But I finish my message; and then it matters not whither I go, if
it so be that I am saved.
13:10 But this much I tell you, what you do with me, after this, shall
be as a type and a shadow of things which are to come.
13:11 And now I read unto you the remainder of the commandments of God,
for I perceive that they are not written in your hearts; I perceive
that ye have studied and taught iniquity the most part of your lives.
13:12 And now, ye remember that I said unto you: Thou shall not make
unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of things which are in
heaven above, or which are in the earth beneath, or which are in the
water under the earth.
13:13 And again: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve
them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities
of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generations
of them that hate me;
13:14 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my
commandments.
13:15 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.
13:16 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
13:17 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;
13:18 But the seventh day, the sabbath of the Lord thy God, 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;
13:19 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and
all that in them is; wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
13:20 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13:21 Thou shalt not kill.
13:22 Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal.
