Exodus 20:1-17
Then God spoke all these words: “I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery
Then God spoke all these words: “I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery
- You must not have any other gods besides me
- You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth. You must not bow down to them nor be enticed to serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a God who requires exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, on the third generation and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing loyal love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments
- You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way, for Jehovah will not leave unpunished the one who takes up His name in a worthless way
- Remember the Sabbath day to keep it sacred. You are to labor and do all your work for six days, but the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah your God. You must not do
any work, neither you nor your son nor your daughter nor your slave man nor your slave girl nor your domestic animal nor your foreign resident who is inside your settlements. For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and he began to rest on the seventh day. That is why Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day and made it sacred - Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you
- You must not murder
- You must not commit adultery
- You must not steal
- You must not testify falsely when you are a witness against your fellow man
- You must not desire your fellow man’s house. You must not desire your fellow man’s wife nor his slave man nor his slave girl nor his bull nor his donkey nor anything that belongs to your fellow man
