¹ And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.

² The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

³ The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

⁴ The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

⁵ (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

⁶ I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

⁷ Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

⁸ Thou shalt not make 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 waters beneath the earth:

⁹ Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto 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,

¹⁰ And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

¹¹ 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.

¹² Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

¹³ Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:

¹⁴ 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, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

¹⁵ And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

¹⁶ Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not kill.

¹⁸ Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

¹⁹ Neither shalt thou steal.

²⁰ Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.

²¹ Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's.

²² These words 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 wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

²³ And 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;

²⁴ And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.

²⁵ Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

²⁶ For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

²⁷ Go 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.

²⁸ 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 all that they have spoken.

²⁹ O 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!

³⁰ Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

³¹ 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.

³² 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.

³³ 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.

¹ And Moses ^H4872 called ^H7121 all Israel, ^H3478 and said ^H559 unto them, Hear, ^H8085 O Israel, ^H3478 the statutes ^H2706 and judgments ^H4941 which I speak ^H1696 in your ears ^H241 this day, ^H3117 that ye may learn ^H3925 them, and keep, ^H8104 and do ^H6213 them.

⁴ The LORD ^H3068 talked ^H1696 with you face ^H6440 to face ^H6440 in the mount ^H2022 out of the midst ^H8432 of the fire, ^H784

⁵ (I stood ^H5975 between the LORD ^H3068 and you at that time, ^H6256 to shew ^H5046 you the word ^H1697 of the LORD: ^H3068 for ye were afraid ^H3372 by reason ^H6440 of the fire, ^H784 and went not up ^H5927 into the mount;) ^H2022 saying, ^H559

⁶ I am the LORD ^H3068 thy God, ^H430 which brought thee out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 from the house ^H1004 of bondage. ^H5650

⁷ Thou shalt have none other ^H312 gods ^H430 before ^H6440 me.

⁸ Thou shalt not make ^H6213 thee any graven image, ^H6459 or any likeness ^H8544 of any thing that is in heaven ^H8064 above, ^H4605 or that is in the earth ^H776 beneath, or that is in the waters ^H4325 beneath the earth: ^H776

⁹ Thou shalt not bow down ^H7812 thyself unto them, nor serve ^H5647 them: for I the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 am a jealous ^H7067 God, ^H410 visiting ^H6485 the iniquity ^H5771 of the fathers ^H1 upon the children ^H1121 unto the third ^H8029 and fourth ^H7256 generation of them that hate ^H8130 me,

¹⁰ And shewing ^H6213 mercy ^H2617 unto thousands ^H505 of them that love ^H157 me and keep ^H8104 my commandments. ^H4687

¹¹ Thou shalt not take ^H5375 the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 in vain: ^H7723 for the LORD ^H3068 will not hold him guiltless ^H5352 that taketh ^H5375 his name ^H8034 in vain. ^H7723

¹² Keep ^H8104 the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117 to sanctify ^H6942 it, as the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 hath commanded ^H6680 thee.

¹³ Six ^H8337 days ^H3117 thou shalt labour, ^H5647 and do ^H6213 all thy work: ^H4399

¹⁴ But the seventh ^H7637 day ^H3117 is the sabbath ^H7676 of the LORD ^H3068 thy God: ^H430 in it thou shalt not do ^H6213 any work, ^H4399 thou, nor thy son, ^H1121 nor thy daughter, ^H1323 nor thy manservant, ^H5650 nor thy maidservant, ^H519 nor thine ox, ^H7794 nor thine ass, ^H2543 nor any of thy cattle, ^H929 nor thy stranger ^H1616 that is within thy gates; ^H8179 that thy manservant ^H5650 and thy maidservant ^H519 may rest ^H5117 as well as thou.

¹⁵ And remember ^H2142 that thou wast a servant ^H5650 in the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 and that the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 brought ^H3318 thee out thence through a mighty ^H2389 hand ^H3027 and by a stretched out ^H5186 arm: ^H2220 therefore the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 commanded ^H6680 thee to keep ^H6213 the sabbath ^H7676 day. ^H3117

¹⁶ Honour ^H3513 thy father ^H1 and thy mother, ^H517 as the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 hath commanded ^H6680 thee; that thy days ^H3117 may be prolonged, ^H748 and that it may go well ^H3190 with thee, in the land ^H127 which the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 giveth ^H5414 thee.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not kill. ^H7523

¹⁸ Neither shalt thou commit adultery. ^H5003

¹⁹ Neither shalt thou steal. ^H1589

²⁰ Neither shalt thou bear ^H6030 false ^H7723 witness ^H5707 against thy neighbour. ^H7453

²¹ Neither shalt thou desire ^H2530 thy neighbour's ^H7453 wife, ^H802 neither shalt thou covet ^H183 thy neighbour's ^H7453 house, ^H1004 his field, ^H7704 or his manservant, ^H5650 or his maidservant, ^H519 his ox, ^H7794 or his ass, ^H2543 or any thing that is thy neighbour's. ^H7453

²² These words ^H1697 the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H1696 unto all your assembly ^H6951 in the mount ^H2022 out of the midst ^H8432 of the fire, ^H784 of the cloud, ^H6051 and of the thick darkness, ^H6205 with a great ^H1419 voice: ^H6963 and he added no more. ^H3254 And he wrote ^H3789 them in two ^H8147 tables ^H3871 of stone, ^H68 and delivered ^H5414 them unto me.

²³ And it came to pass, when ye heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 out of the midst ^H8432 of the darkness, ^H2822 (for the mountain ^H2022 did burn ^H1197 with fire,) ^H784 that ye came near ^H7126 unto me, even all the heads ^H7218 of your tribes, ^H7626 and your elders; ^H2205

²⁴ And ye said, ^H559 Behold, the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 hath shewed ^H7200 us his glory ^H3519 and his greatness, ^H1433 and we have heard ^H8085 his voice ^H6963 out of the midst ^H8432 of the fire: ^H784 we have seen ^H7200 this day ^H3117 that God ^H430 doth talk ^H1696 with man, ^H120 and he liveth. ^H2425

²⁵ Now therefore why should we die? ^H4191 for this great ^H1419 fire ^H784 will consume ^H398 us: if we hear ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 any more, ^H3254 then we shall die. ^H4191

²⁶ For who is there of all flesh, ^H1320 that hath heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of the living ^H2416 God ^H430 speaking ^H1696 out of the midst ^H8432 of the fire, ^H784 as we have, and lived? ^H2421

²⁷ Go thou near, ^H7126 and hear ^H8085 all that the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 shall say: ^H559 and speak ^H1696 thou unto us all that the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 shall speak ^H1696 unto thee; and we will hear ^H8085 it, and do ^H6213 it.

²⁸ And the LORD ^H3068 heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of your words, ^H1697 when ye spake ^H1696 unto me; and the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto me, I have heard ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of the words ^H1697 of this people, ^H5971 which they have spoken ^H1696 unto thee: they have well ^H3190 said all that they have spoken. ^H1696

²⁹ O that there were such ^H2088 an ^H4310 heart ^H3824 in them, ^H5414 that they would fear ^H3372 me, and keep ^H8104 all my commandments ^H4687 always, ^H3117 that it might be well ^H3190 with them, and with their children ^H1121 for ever! ^H5769

³⁰ Go ^H3212 say ^H559 to them, Get ^H7725 you into your tents ^H168 again. ^H7725

³¹ But as for thee, stand ^H5975 thou here by me, ^H5978 and I will speak ^H1696 unto thee all the commandments, ^H4687 and the statutes, ^H2706 and the judgments, ^H4941 which thou shalt teach ^H3925 them, that they may do ^H6213 them in the land ^H776 which I give ^H5414 them to possess ^H3423 it.

³² Ye shall observe ^H8104 to do ^H6213 therefore as the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 hath commanded ^H6680 you: ye shall not turn aside ^H5493 to the right hand ^H3225 or to the left. ^H8040

³³ Ye shall walk ^H3212 in all the ways ^H1870 which the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 hath commanded ^H6680 you, that ye may live, ^H2421 and that it may be well ^H2895 with you, and that ye may prolong ^H748 your days ^H3117 in the land ^H776 which ye shall possess. ^H3423

¹³ Six days shall you labor, and do all your work;

¹⁴ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God: [in it] you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest as well as you.

¹⁵ You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

¹⁶ "Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

¹⁷ "You shall not murder.

¹⁸ "Neither shall you commit adultery.

¹⁹ "Neither shall you steal.

²⁰ "Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor.

²¹ "Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."

²² These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.

²³ It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

²⁴ and you said, Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.

²⁵ Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, then we shall die.

²⁶ For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

²⁷ Go you near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say: and speak you to us all that Yahweh our God shall speak to you; and we will hear it, and do it.

²⁸ Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Yahweh said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken.

²⁹ Oh that there were such a 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 forever!

³⁰ Go tell them, Return you to your tents.

³¹ But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak to you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

³² You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

³³ You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

¹ And Moses sent for all Israel, and said to them, Give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I give you today, and give attention to them so that you may keep and do them.

² The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.

³ The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.

⁴ The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,

⁵ (I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain;) saying,

⁶ I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

⁷ You are to have no other gods but me.

⁸ You may not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven or on earth or in the waters under the earth:

⁹ You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

¹⁰ And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

¹¹ You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord.

¹² Keep the Sabbath day as a holy day, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God.

¹³ On six days do all your work:

¹⁴ But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day do no work, you or your son or your daughter, or your man-servant or your woman-servant, or your ox or your ass or any of your cattle, or the man from a strange country who is living among you; so that your man-servant and your woman-servant may have rest as well as you.

¹⁵ And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day.

¹⁶ Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

¹⁷ Do not put anyone to death without cause.

¹⁸ Do not be false to the married relation.

¹⁹ Do not take the property of another.

²⁰ Do not give false witness against your neighbour;

²¹ Or let your desire be turned to your neighbour's wife, or his house or his field or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is your neighbour's.

²² These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.

²³ And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,

²⁴ And said, The Lord has let us see his glory and his power, and his voice has come to us out of the fire: today we have seen that a man may go on living even after hearing the voice of God.

²⁵ Why then is death to be our fate? For if the voice of the Lord our God comes to us any more, death will overtake us, and we will be burned up in this great fire.

²⁶ For what man is there in all the earth, who, hearing the voice of the living God as we have, out of the heart of the fire, has been kept from death?

²⁷ Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it.

²⁸ Then the Lord, hearing your words to me, said to me, The words which this people have said to you have come to my ears: what they have said is well said.

²⁹ If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!

³⁰ Now say to them, Go back to your tents.

³¹ But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

³² Take care, then, to do whatever the Lord your God has given you orders to do; let there be no turning away to the right hand or to the left.

³³ Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.
