¶ And Moses called all Israel¹, and said unto them, Hear², O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and³ do them.

⁴The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

⁵The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

⁶The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

⁷(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

¶ I am the⁸ LORD thy God, which brought¹⁰ thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage¹¹.

¹²Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make thee any graven image¹³, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Thou shalt not¹⁴ bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD¹⁵ thy God am a jealous God¹⁶, visiting¹⁷ the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

¶ And shewing¹⁸ mercy unto thousands of them that love me¹⁹ and keep my commandments.

²⁰Thou 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.

Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

²³Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:

But the seventh day is the sabbath²⁴ of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger²⁵ that is within thy gates; that thy manservant²⁶ and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

And remember²⁷ that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD²⁸ thy God brought thee out thence through²⁹ a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

Honour³⁰ thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days³¹ may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Thou shalt not kill.

Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

Neither shalt thou steal.

¶³⁵Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

These words³⁸ the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote³⁹ them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

¶⁴⁰And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard⁴¹ his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth⁴².

Now therefore why should we die? for this great⁴³ fire will consume us: if we hear⁴⁴ the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

For who is⁴⁵ there of all flesh⁴⁶, that hath heard the voice of the living⁴⁷ God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

⁴⁸Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all⁴⁹ that they have spoken.

⁵³O that there were such an 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!

¶⁵⁴Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
