      | ¶ | And God spake all these words, saying, | |
 | ¶ | I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. | |
 | ¶ | Thou shalt have no other gods before me. | |
| ¶ | Thou shalt not make unto 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: | |
| 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 unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; | ||
| And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. | ||
| ¶ | 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. | |
| ¶ | Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. | |
| Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: | ||
| 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 manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: | ||
| For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. | ||
| ¶ | Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. | |
| ¶ | Thou shalt not kill. | |
| ¶ | Thou shalt not commit adultery. | |
| ¶ | Thou shalt not steal. | |
| ¶ | Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. | |
| ¶ | Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's. | |
| ¶ | 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. | |
 | And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. | ||
| And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. | ||
| And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God [was]. | ||
| ¶ | And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. | |
| Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. | ||
| An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. | ||
| And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. | ||
| Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon. |
