(Exo 20:1) And God spake all these words, saying,
(Exo 20:2) I {am} the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
(Exo 20:3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
(Exo 20:4) 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.
(Exo 20:5) 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;
(Exo 20:6) And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
(Exo 20:7) 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.
(Exo 20:8) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
(Exo 20:9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
(Exo 20:10) 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:
(Exo 20:11) 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.
(Exo 20:12) Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
(Exo 20:13) Thou shalt not kill.

(Exo 20:16) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
(Exo 20:17) 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.
(Exo 20:18) 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.
(Exo 20:19) And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
(Exo 20:20) 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.
(Exo 20:21) And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God {was}.
(Exo 20:22) 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.
(Exo 20:23) Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
(Exo 20:24) 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.
(Exo 20:25) 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.
(Exo 20:26) Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
