Exodus 20

1 The Ten Commandments. 18 The people are afraid. 20 Moses comforteth them. 22 Idolatry is forbidden. 24 Of what sort the altar should be.

 20:1 ¶ And God spoke all these words, saying,

 20:2 I [am] the LORD thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

 20:4 Thou shalt not make to thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:

 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;

 20:6 And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

 20:7 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.

 20:8 Remember the sabbath-day to keep it holy.

 20:9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:

 20:10 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, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:

 20:11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath-day, and hallowed it.

 20:12 ¶ Honor 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 neighbor.

 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbor'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 to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

 20:20 And Moses said to 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 to the thick darkness where God [was].

 20:22 ¶ And the LORD said to Moses, Thus thou shalt say to 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 to you gods of gold.

 20:24 ¶ An altar of earth thou shalt make to me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thy oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come to 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 [shalt] lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

 20:26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
