Deuteronomy 5 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Ten Commandments Repeated

1 Then Moses ^H4872 summoned ^H7121 all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 and said ^H559 to them:

“Hear ^H8085, O Israel ^H3478, the statutes ^H2706 and the judgments ^H4941 which ^H834 I am speaking ^H1696 today ^H3117 in your [fn]hearing ^H241, that you may learn ^H3925 them and be ^H8104 careful ^H8104 to do ^H6213 them.

2 Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 cut ^H3772 a covenant ^H1285 with us at Horeb ^H2722. 3 Yahweh ^H3068 did not cut ^H3772 this ^H2088 covenant ^H1285 with our fathers ^H1, but with us, with all ^H3605 those ^H428 of [fn]us alive ^H2416 here ^H6311 today ^H3117. 4 Yahweh ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 to you face ^H6440 to face ^H6440 at the mountain ^H2022 from the midst ^H8432 of the fire ^H784. 5 I was standing ^H5975 between ^H996 Yahweh ^H3068 and you at that time ^H6256, to declare ^H5046 to you the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068; for you were ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 because ^H4480 H6440 of the fire ^H784 and did not go ^H5927 up ^H5927 the mountain ^H2022. [fn]He said ^H559,

6 ‘I am Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 who ^H834 brought ^H3318 you out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714, out of the house ^H1004 of [fn]slavery ^H5650.

7 ‘You shall have ^H1961 no ^H3808 other ^H312 gods ^H430 [fn]before ^H6440 Me.

8 ‘You shall not make ^H6213 for yourself [fn]an idol ^H6459—any ^H3605 likeness ^H8544 of what ^H834 is in heaven ^H8064 above ^H4480 H4605 [fn]or on the earth ^H776 beneath ^H4480 H8478 [fn]or in the water ^H4325 under ^H8478 the earth ^H776.

9 You shall not worship ^H2331 them or serve ^H5647 them; for I, Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430, am a jealous ^H7067 God ^H410, visiting ^H6485 the iniquity ^H5771 of the fathers ^H1 on the children ^H1121 and on the third ^H8029 and the fourth ^H7256 generations of those who hate ^H8130 Me,

10 but showing ^H6213 lovingkindness ^H2617 to thousands ^H505, to those who love ^H157 Me and keep ^H8104 My commandments ^H4687.

11 ‘You shall not take ^H5375 the name ^H8034 of Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 in vain ^H7723, for Yahweh ^H3068 will not [fn]leave ^H5352 him unpunished ^H5352 who ^H834 takes ^H5375 His name ^H8034 in vain ^H7723.

12 ‘Observe ^H8104 the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117 to keep ^H6942 it holy ^H6942, as Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 commanded ^H6680 you.

13 Six ^H8337 days ^H3117 you shall labor ^H5647 and do ^H6213 all ^H3605 your work ^H4399,

14 but the seventh ^H7637 day ^H3117 is a sabbath ^H7676 of Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430; in it you shall not do ^H6213 any ^H3605 work ^H4399, you or your son ^H1121 or your daughter ^H1323 or your male ^H5650 slave ^H5650 or your female ^H519 slave ^H519 or your ox ^H7794 or your donkey ^H2543 or any ^H3605 of your cattle ^H929 or your sojourner ^H1616 who ^H834 is within your gates ^H8179, so ^H4616 that your male ^H5650 slave ^H5650 and your female ^H519 slave ^H519 may rest ^H5117 as well as you.

15 You shall remember ^H2142 that you were a slave ^H5650 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714, and Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 brought ^H3318 you out ^H3318 of there ^H8033 with a mighty ^H2389 hand ^H3027 and with an outstretched ^H5186 arm ^H2220; therefore ^H5921 H3651 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 commanded ^H6680 you to observe ^H6213 the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117.

16 ‘Honor ^H3513 your father ^H1 and your mother ^H517, as Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 has commanded ^H6680 you, that your days ^H3117 may be prolonged ^H748 and that it may go ^H3190 well ^H3190 with you on the land ^H127 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 gives ^H5414 you.

17 ‘You shall not murder ^H7523.

18 ‘You shall not commit ^H5003 adultery ^H5003.

19 ‘You shall not steal ^H1589.

20 ‘You shall not bear ^H6030 false ^H7723 witness ^H5707 against your neighbor ^H7453.

21 ‘You shall not covet ^H2530 your neighbor’s ^H7453 wife ^H802, and you shall not desire ^H183 your neighbor’s ^H7453 house ^H1004, his field ^H7704, or his male ^H5650 slave ^H5650 or his female ^H519 slave ^H519, his ox ^H7794 or his donkey ^H2543 or anything ^H3605 that belongs to your neighbor ^H7453.’

22 “These ^H428 words ^H1697 Yahweh ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 to all ^H3605 your assembly ^H6951 at the mountain ^H2022 from the midst ^H8432 of the fire ^H784, of the cloud ^H6051 and of the dense ^H6205 gloom ^H6205, with a great ^H1419 voice ^H6963, and He added ^H3254 no ^H3808 more ^H3254. He wrote ^H3789 them on two ^H8147 tablets ^H3871 of stone ^H68 and gave ^H5414 them to me. 23 Now it happened that when you heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 from the midst ^H8432 of the darkness ^H2822, while the mountain ^H2022 was burning ^H1197 with fire ^H784, you came ^H7126 near ^H7126 to me, all ^H3605 the heads ^H7218 of your tribes ^H7626 and your elders ^H2205. 24 And you said ^H559, ‘Behold ^H2005, Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 has shown ^H7200 us His glory ^H3519 and His greatness ^H1433, and we have heard ^H8085 His voice ^H6963 from the midst ^H8432 of the fire ^H784; we have seen ^H7200 today ^H3117 that God ^H430 speaks ^H1696 with man ^H120, yet he lives ^H2421. 25 So now ^H6258 then why ^H4100 should we die ^H4191? For this ^H2088 great ^H1419 fire ^H784 will consume ^H398 us; if ^H518 we hear ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 any ^H5750 longer ^H5750, then we will die ^H4191. 26 For who ^H4310 is there of all ^H3605 flesh ^H1320 who ^H834 has heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of the living ^H2416 God ^H430 speaking ^H1696 from the midst ^H8432 of the fire ^H784, as we have, and lived ^H2421? 27 As for you, go ^H7126 near ^H7126 and hear ^H8085 all ^H3605 that Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 says ^H559; then speak ^H1696 to us all ^H3605 that Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 speaks ^H1696 to you, and we will hear ^H8085 and do ^H6213 it.’

28 “And Yahweh ^H3068 heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of your words ^H1697 when you spoke ^H1696 to me, and Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, ‘I have heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of the words ^H1697 of this ^H2088 people ^H5971 which ^H834 they have spoken ^H1696 to you. They have done ^H3190 well ^H3190 in all ^H3605 that they have spoken ^H1696. 29 Oh ^H4310 H5414 that they had ^H1961 such ^H2088 a heart ^H3824 in them, that they would fear ^H3372 Me and keep ^H8104 all ^H3605 My commandments ^H4687 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117, that it may be ^H3190 well ^H3190 with them and with their sons ^H1121 forever ^H5769! 30 Go ^H1980, say ^H559 to them, “Return ^H7725 to your tents ^H168.” 31 But as for you, stand ^H5975 here ^H6311 by Me, that I may speak ^H1696 to you all ^H3605 the commandments ^H4687 and the statutes ^H2706 and the judgments ^H4941 which ^H834 you shall teach ^H3925 them, that they may do ^H6213 them in the land ^H776 which ^H834 I give ^H5414 them to possess ^H3423.’ 32 So you shall be ^H8104 careful ^H8104 to do ^H6213 just ^H834 as Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 has commanded ^H6680 you; you shall not turn ^H5493 aside ^H5493 to the right ^H3225 or to the left ^H8040. 33 In all ^H3605 the way ^H1870 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 has commanded ^H6680 you, you shall walk ^H1980, that you may live ^H2421 and that it may be well ^H2895 with you and that you may prolong ^H748 your days ^H3117 in the land ^H776 which ^H834 you will possess ^H3423.
