[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. [16] “You shall not give false testimony 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.” [18] All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance. [19] They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.” [20] Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.” [21] The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was. [22] Yahweh said to Moses, “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. [23] You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me. [24] You shall make an altar of 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. [25] If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it. [26] You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’

King James Version
[1] And GodH430 spakeH1696(PielImpf) all these words,H1697 saying,H559(QalInf) [2] I [am] the LordH3068 thy God,H430 which have broughtH3318(HiphPerf) thee out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 out of the houseH1004 of bondage.H5650 [3] Thou shalt have no otherH312 godsH430 before me.H6440 [4] Thou shalt not makeH6213(QalImpf) unto thee any graven image,H6459 or any likenessH8544 [of any thing] thatH834 [is] in heavenH8064 above,H4605 or that [is] in the earthH776 beneath, or that [is] in the waterH4325 under the earth:H776 [5] Thou shalt not bow downH7812(HithImpf) thyself to them, nor serveH5647(HophImpf) them: for I the LordH3068 thy GodH430 [am] a jealousH7067 God,H410 visitingH6485(QalActPtc) the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 [generation] of them that hateH8130(QalActPtc) me; [6] And shewingH6213(QalActPtc) mercyH2617 unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157(QalActPtc) me, and keepH8104(QalActPtc) my commandments.H4687 [7] Thou shalt not takeH5375(QalImpf) the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 thy GodH430 in vain;H7723 for the LordH3068 will not hold him guiltlessH5352(PielImpf) that takethH5375(QalImpf) his nameH8034 in vain.H7723 [8] RememberH2142(QalInf) the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 to keep it holy.H6942(PielInf) [9] SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labour,H5647(QalImpf) and doH6213(QalPerf) all thy work:H4399 [10] But the seventhH7637 dayH3117 [is] the sabbathH7676 of the LordH3068 thy God:H430 [in it] thou shalt not doH6213(QalImpf) any work,H4399 thou, nor thy son,H1121 nor thy daughter,H1323 thy manservant,H5650 nor thy maidservant,H519 nor thy cattle,H929 nor thy strangerH1616 that [is] within thy gates:H8179 [11] For [in] sixH8337 daysH3117 the LordH3068 madeH6213(QalPerf) heavenH8064 and earth,H776 the sea,H3220 and all that in them [is], and restedH5117(QalImpf) the seventhH7637 day:H3117 wherefore the LordH3068 blessedH1288(PielPerf) the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 and hallowedH6942(PielImpf) it. [12] HonourH3513(PielImpv) thy fatherH1 and thy mother:H517 that thy daysH3117 may be longH748(HiphImpf) upon the landH127 which the LordH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414(QalActPtc) thee. [13] Thou shalt not kill.H7523(QalImpf) [14] Thou shalt not commit adultery.H5003(QalImpf) [15] Thou shalt not steal.H1589(QalImpf) [16] Thou shalt not bearH6030(QalImpf) falseH8267 witnessH5707 against thy neighbour.H7453 [17] Thou shalt not covetH2530(QalImpf) thy neighbour’sH7453 house,H1004 thou shalt not covetH2530(QalImpf) thy neighbour’sH7453 wife,H802 nor his manservant,H5650 nor his maidservant,H519 nor his ox,H7794 nor his ass,H2543 nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour’s.H7453 [18] And all the peopleH5971 sawH7200(QalActPtc) the thunderings,H6963 and the lightnings,H3940 and the noiseH6963 of the trumpet,H7782 and the mountainH2022 smoking:H6226 and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200(QalImpf) [it], they removed,H5128(QalImpf) and stoodH5975(QalImpf) afar off.H7350 [19] And they saidH559(QalImpf) unto Moses,H4872 SpeakH1696(PielImpv) thou with us, and we will hear:H8085(QalImpf) but let not GodH430 speakH1696(PielImpf) with us, lest we die.H4191(QalImpf) [20] And MosesH4872 saidH559(QalImpf) unto the people,H5971 FearH3372(QalImpf) not: for GodH430 is comeH935(QalPerf) toH5668 proveH5254(PielInf) you, and that his fearH3374 may be before your faces,H6440 that ye sinH2398(QalImpf) not. [21] And the peopleH5971 stoodH5975(QalImpf) afar off,H7350 and MosesH4872 drew nearH5066(NiphPerf) unto the thick darknessH6205 where GodH430 [was]. [22] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Moses,H4872 Thus thou shalt sayH559(QalImpf) unto the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 Ye have seenH7200(QalPerf) that I have talkedH1696(PielPerf) with you from heaven.H8064 [23] Ye shall not makeH6213(QalImpf) with me godsH430 of silver,H3701 neither shall ye makeH6213(QalImpf) unto you godsH430 of gold.H2091 [24] An altarH4196 of earthH127 thou shalt makeH6213(QalImpf) unto me, and shalt sacrificeH2076(QalPerf) thereon thy burnt offerings,H5930 and thy peace offerings,H8002 thy sheep,H6629 and thine oxen:H1241 in all placesH4725 where I recordH2142(HiphImpf) my nameH8034 I will comeH935(QalImpf) unto thee, and I will blessH1288(PielPerf) thee. [25] And if thou wilt makeH6213(QalImpf) me an altarH4196 of stone,H68 thou shalt not buildH1129(QalImpf) it of hewn stone:H1496 for if thou lift upH5130(HiphPerf) thy toolH2719 upon it, thou hast pollutedH2490(PielImpf) it. [26] Neither shalt thou go upH5927(QalImpf) by stepsH4609 unto mine altar,H4196 that thy nakednessH6172 be not discoveredH1540(NiphImpf) thereon.
