Shemoth (Exodus) 20

Exod 20:1 And Elohim spoke all these Words, saying,
Exod 20:2 “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of
Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery.
Exod 20:3 “You have no other mighty ones against My face.
Exod 20:4 “You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of
that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which
is in the waters under the earth,
Exod 20:5 you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, יהוה your
Elohim am a jealous Ĕl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the
children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
Exod 20:6 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and
guard My commands.
Exod 20:7 “You do not bring the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה
does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.
Exod 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart.
Exod 20:9 “Six days you labour, and shall do all your work,
Exod 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה your Elohim. You do not
do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant,
nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your
gates.
Exod 20:11 “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea,
and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the
Sabbath day and set it apart.
Exod 20:12 “Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are
prolonged upon the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you.
Exod 20:13 “You do not murder.
Exod 20:14 “You do not commit adultery.
Exod 20:15 “You do not steal.
Exod 20:16 “You do not bear false witness against your neighbour.
Exod 20:17 “You do not covet your neighbour’s house, you do not covet
your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his
ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbour.”
Exod 20:18 And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the
sound of the ram’s horn, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it,
and they trembled and stood at a distance,
Exod 20:19 and said to Mosheh, “You speak with us and we hear, but let not
Elohim speak with us, lest we die.”
Exod 20:20 And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not fear, for Elohim has
come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before you, so that you do
not sin.”
Exod 20:21 So the people stood at a distance, but Mosheh drew near the
thick darkness where Elohim was.
Exod 20:22 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say this to the children of Yisra’ĕl:
‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from the heavens.
Exod 20:23 ‘You do not make besides Me mighty ones of silver, and you do
not make mighty ones of gold for yourselves.
Exod 20:24 ‘Make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall slaughter on it
your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In
every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you
and bless you.
Exod 20:25 ‘And if you make Me an altar of stone, do not build it of cut
stone, for if you use your chisel on it, you have profaned it.
Exod 20:26 ‘Nor do you go up by steps to My altar, lest your nakedness be
exposed on it.’
