Exodus 20

1 God† spoke all these words, saying,

2 “I am Yahweh 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 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:

5 you shall not bow yourself down to
them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh 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,

6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of
those who love me and keep my
commandments.

7 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your
God,‡ for Yahweh will not hold
him guiltless who misuses his name.

8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it
holy.

9 You shall labor six days, and do all your
work,

10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to
Yahweh 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;

11 for in six days Yahweh made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it
holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother,
that your days may be long in the land
which Yahweh your God gives you.

13 “You shall not murder.

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

15 “You shall not steal.
