20:11 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.
20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
20:17 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.
20:18 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.
20:19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear:
but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20:20 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.
20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick
darkness where God was.
20:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the
children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from
heaven.
20:23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make
unto you gods of gold.
20:24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice
thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and
thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee,
and I will bless thee.
20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build
it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast
polluted it.
20:26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
nakedness be not discovered thereon.
21:1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
21:2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the
seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were
married, then his wife shall go out with him.
21:4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or
daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall
go out by himself.
21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife,
and my children; I will not go out free:
21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also
bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore
his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not
go out as the menservants do.
