And Moses called unto all Israel and said unto them: Hear Israel the
ordinances and laws which I speak in thine ears this day, and learn
them and take heed that ye do them. The LORD {Loode} our God made an
appointment with us in Horeb. The LORD made not this bond with our
fathers, but with us: we are they, which are all here alive this day.
The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the fire. And
I stood between the LORD and you the same time, to shew you the saying
of the LORD. For ye were afraid of the fire and therefore went not up
into the mount and he said. I am the LORD thy God which brought thee
out of the land of Egypt the house of bondage. Thou shalt have
therefore none other gods in my presence. Thou shalt make thee no
graven Image of any manner likeness that is in heaven above, or in the
earth beneath, or in the water beneath the earth. Thou shalt neither
bow thyself unto them nor serve them, for I the LORD thy God, am a
jealous God, visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children,
even in the third and the fourth generation, among them that hate me:

against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not lust after thy neighbour's wife:
thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, field, servant, maid, ox,
ass nor ought that is thy neighbour's. These words the LORD spake unto
all your multitude in the mount out of the fire, cloud and darkness,
with a loud voice, and added no more thereto, and wrote them in two
