Shmot (Exodus) - Chapter 20

20:1 God spoke all these words, saying, 20:2 "I am Mar-Yah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

20:3 "You shall have no other deities before me.

20:4 "You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 20:5 you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Mar-Yah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, 20:6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

20:7 "You shall not swear a false oath in the name of Mar-Yah your God, for Mar-Yah will not hold him guiltless who swears a false oath in his name.

20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 20:9 You shall labour six days, and do all your work, 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Mar-Yah your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; 20:11 for in six days Mar-Yah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Mar-Yah blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

20:12 "Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Mar-Yah your God gives you.

20:13 "You shall not murder.
20:14 "You shall not commit adultery.

20:15 "You shall not steal.

20:16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.

20:17 "You shall not covet your neighbour's house. You shall not covet your neighbour's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour."

20:18 All the people witnessed the thundering, the lightning, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance. 20:19 They said to Mosha, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."

20:20 Mosha said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you will not sin." 20:21 The people stayed at a distance, and Mosha drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

20:22 Mar-Yah said to Mosha, "This is what you shall tell the B'nai Yisrael: 'You yourselves have seen that I have spoken with you from heaven. 20:23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me deities of silver, or deities of gold for yourselves to worship. 20:24 You shall make an altar from earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my Name I will come to you and I will bless you. 20:25 If you make an altar for me of stone, you shall not construct it with stones that have been carved without authority; for if you lift up your tool on it without authority, you have polluted it. 20:26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
