“I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from
the house of bondage. Thou shalt have none other Gods before me. Thou
shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is
in heaven above, or that is in earth beneath, or that is in the waters
beneath the earth. 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 generation of them
that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and
keep my commandments. 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. Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labor and do all thy work, 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, nor thy man-servant, nor thy
maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates; that thy man-servant and maid-servant
may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the
land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a
mighty hand and by a stretched out arm, therefore the Lord thy God
commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day. Honor thy father and thy mother as
the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and
that it may go well with thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth
thee. Thou shalt not kill. Neither shalt thou commit adultery. Neither
shalt thou steal. Neither shalt thou bear false-witness against thy
neighbor. Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor’s wife. Neither shalt
thou covet thy neighbor’s house, his field, or his man-servant, or
maid-servant, his ox, or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbor’s.
These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly, in the mount out of the
midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick darkness, with a great
voice; and he added no more, and he wrote them upon two tables of stone,
and delivered them unto you.”
