Deuteronomy 5
- 1And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the laws and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and keep, and do them.
- 2The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
- 3The Lord did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
- 4The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the middle of the fire,
- 5I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to show you the word of the Lord. For you were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up into the mount. He said,
- 6I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
- 7You shall have none other gods before me.
- 8You shall not make you any carved idol, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
- 9You shall not bow down yourself to them, or serve them. For I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the wrongdoing of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
- 10And showing mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
- 11You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.
- 12Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God has commanded you.
- 13Six days you shall labor, and do all your work:
- 14But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your cattle, or your foreigner who is within your gates. That your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
- 15And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God brought you out from there through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.
- 16Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you. That your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
- 17You shall not kill.
- 18Neither shall you commit adultery.
- 19Neither shall you steal.
- 20Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.
- 21Neither shall you desire your neighbor's wife, neither shall you crave your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.
- 22These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly in the mount out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tablets of stone, and delivered them to me.
- 23When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, for the mountain did burn with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders.
- 24And you said, The Lord our God has showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire: we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives.
- 25Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.
- 26For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
- 27Go near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say. And speak to us all that the Lord our God shall speak to you, and we will hear it, and do it.
- 28And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me. The Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken.
- 29Oh, if only there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
- 30Go say to them, Go into your tents again.
- 31But as for you, stand here by me, and I will speak to you all the commandments, and the laws, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
- 32You shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
- 33You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
