Deuteronomy 5

And Moses called all Israel and said to them, Hear, Israel, the ordinances and the judgments which I speak in your ears this day; and you shall learn them and observe to do them.

The Lord your God made a covenant with you at Choreb.

Not with your fathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with you, you who are all here alive today.

Face to face the Lord spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire.

And I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to announce to you the words of the Lord, for you were afraid before the face of the fire and did not go up into the mountain. He said:

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

There shall not be to you other gods before my face.

You shall not make for yourself an idol, nor a likeness of anything, whatever is in heaven above, and whatever is on the earth below, and whatever is in the waters beneath the earth.

You shall not bow down to them, nor shall you serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, repaying the sins of fathers upon children, to the third and fourth generation, to those who hate me,

and showing mercy to thousands, to those who love me and to those who keep my ordinances.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold guiltless the one who takes his name in vain.

Keep the day of the sabbaths, to sanctify it, in the manner the Lord your God commanded you.

Six days you shall labour and do all your works.

But the seventh day is sabbaths to the Lord your God. In it you shall not do any work, you and your sons and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, your ox and your beast of burden and any animal of yours, and the sojourner who dwells among you, so that your male servant and your female servant may rest just as you do.

And you shall remember that you were a household slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and with an uplifted arm; therefore the Lord your God charged you to keep the day of the sabbaths and to sanctify it.

Honour your father and your mother, in the manner the Lord your God commanded you, that it may be well with you and that you may be long-lived upon the land which the Lord your God gives you.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not murder.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour, a lying testimony.

You shall not covet your neighbour's wife. You shall not covet your neighbour's house, nor his field, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his beast of burden, nor any animal of his, nor whatever belongs to your neighbour.

These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, darkness, gloom, tempest, a great voice; and he added nothing more. And he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

And it came about, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, and the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the leaders of your tribes and your council of elders,

and you said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire; on this day we have seen that God will speak to a man and he will live.

And now, let us not die, for this great fire will consume us if we go on to hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, and we shall die.

For what flesh is there that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and shall live?

You draw near and hear whatever the Lord our God may say; and you shall speak to us all that the Lord our God may speak to you, and we will hear and we will do.

And the Lord heard the voice of your words as you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, what they spoke to you; rightly have they spoken all that they spoke.

Who will grant that their heart be so in them, so as to fear me and to keep my commandments all the days, that it may be well with them and with their sons for ever?

Go, say to them, Return, you, to your houses.

But you, stand here with me, and I will speak to you the commandments and the ordinances and the judgments which you shall teach them, and let them do them in the land which I am giving them as an inheritance.

And you shall observe to do as the Lord your God commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left,

according to all the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in it, so that he may give you rest, and that it may be well with you, and that you may be long-lived upon the land which you shall inherit.
