The ten Commandments

The ten Commandments
1 - And God spake all these words, saying,
2 - I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 - Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters beneath the earth.
5 - Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
6 - And I show mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and to them that keep my commandments.
7 - Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless to take his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 - Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work.
10 - But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God; thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy servant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.
11 - For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 - Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, neither covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of thy neighbor's.
18 - And all the people saw the thunders and the lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and the people saw it, and departed, and stood afar off.
19 - And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; and let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 - And Moses said unto the people, Fear not, God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.
21 - And the people stood afar off. But Moses came to the darkness where God was.
22 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.
23 - Thou shalt not make other gods with me; gods of silver or golden gods you will not do for yourselves.
24 - Thou shalt make me an altar of land, and thou shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, and thy sheep, and thy herds; in all the place, where I cause to celebrate the memory of my name, I will come to you and bless you.
25 - And if thou make me an altar of stones, thou shalt not make it of hewn stone; and if thou lift up thy graving upon it, thou shalt defile it.
26 - Thou shalt not go up to the altar with thy steps, lest thy nakedness be uncovered before them.
