Ex. 20:1-17

1 And God spoke all these words, saying: 2 " I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 " You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness [of] [anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7 " You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold [him] guiltless who takes His name in vain.

8 " Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the Lord your God. [In] [it] you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who [is] within your gates. 11 For [in] six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

12 " Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

13 " You shall not murder.

14 " You shall not commit adultery.

15 " You shall not steal.

16 " You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17 " You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that [is] your neighbor's."
