I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house. | You are to have no other gods but me. | You may not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven or on earth or in the waters under the earth: |
You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters; | And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws. | You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord. |
Keep the Sabbath day as a holy day, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God. | On six days do all your work: | But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day do no work, you or your son or your daughter, or your man-servant or your woman-servant, or your ox or your ass or any of your cattle, or the man from a strange country who is living among you; so that your man-servant and your woman-servant may have rest as well as you. |
And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day. | Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. | Do not put anyone to death without cause. |
Do not be false to the married relation. | Do not take the property of another. | Do not give false witness against your neighbour; |
Or let your desire be turned to your neighbour's wife, or his house or his field or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is your neighbour's. | And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. | The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these. |
