therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
020:012 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long
in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
020:013 "You shall not murder.
020:014 "You shall not commit adultery.
020:015 "You shall not steal.
020:016 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
020:017 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall
not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant,
nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey,
nor anything that is your neighbor's."
020:018 All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings,
the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking.
When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
020:019 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen;
but don't let God speak with us, lest we die."
020:020 Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has
come to test you, and that his fear may be before you,
that you won't sin."
020:021 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick
darkness where God was.
020:022 Yahweh said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children
of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked

020:024 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice
on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings,
your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I record
