Chapter 5

And Moses called⁴ all Israel, and said⁴ unto them, Hear,³ O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak⁶ in your ears this day, that ye may learn¹ them, and keep,¹ and do² them.

The LORD our God made¹ a covenant with us in Horeb.

The LORD made¹ not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, [even] us, who [are] all of us here alive this day.

The LORD talked¹⁴ with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

(I stood⁶ between the LORD and you at that time, to shew⁵³ you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid¹ by reason of the fire, and went not up¹ into the mount;) saying,²

I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out⁵² of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make⁴ thee [any] graven image, [or] any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:

Thou shalt not bow down¹⁰¹ thyself unto them, nor serve⁹³ them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting⁶ the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate⁶ me,

And shewing⁶ mercy unto thousands of them that love⁶ me and keep⁶ my commandments.

Thou shalt not take⁴ the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless¹⁷ that taketh⁴ his name in vain.

Keep² the sabbath day to sanctify¹⁵ it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded¹⁴ thee.

Six days thou shalt labour,⁴ and do¹ all thy work:

But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do⁴ any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest⁴ as well as thou.

And remember¹ that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out⁵⁵ thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out⁷ arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded¹⁴ thee to keep² the sabbath day.

Honour¹⁶ thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded¹⁴ thee; that thy days may be prolonged,⁵⁵ and that it may go well⁴ with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth⁶ thee.

Thou shalt not kill.⁴

Neither shalt thou commit adultery.⁴

Neither shalt thou steal.⁴

Neither shalt thou bear⁴ false witness against thy neighbour.

Neither shalt thou desire⁴ thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet¹⁰¹ thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any [thing] that [is] thy neighbour's.

These words the LORD spake¹⁴ unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added¹ no more. And he wrote⁴ them in two tables of stone, and delivered⁴ them unto me.

And it came to pass, when ye heard² the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn⁶ with fire,) that ye came near⁴ unto me, [even] all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

And ye said,⁴ Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed⁵² us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard¹ his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen¹ this day that God doth talk¹⁷ with man, and he liveth.¹

Now therefore why should we die?⁴ for this great fire will consume⁴ us: if we hear² the voice of the LORD our God any more,⁶ then we shall die.¹

For who [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard¹ the voice of the living God speaking¹⁸ out of the midst of the fire, as we [have], and lived?⁴

Go thou near,³ and hear³ all that the LORD our God shall say:⁴ and speak¹⁷ thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak¹⁷ unto thee; and we will hear¹ [it], and do¹ [it].

And the LORD heard⁴ the voice of your words, when ye spake¹⁵ unto me; and the LORD said⁴ unto me, I have heard¹ the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken¹⁴ unto thee: they have well⁵² said all that they have spoken.¹⁴

O that ^{5414 4} there were such an heart in them, that they would fear² me, and keep² all my commandments always, ³¹¹⁷ that it might be well⁴ with them, and with their children for ever!

Go³ say³ to them, Get you into your tents again.³

But as for thee, stand³ thou here by me, and I will speak¹⁷ unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach¹⁷ them, that they may do¹ [them] in the land which I give⁶ them to possess² it.

Ye shall observe¹ to do² therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded¹⁴ you: ye shall not turn aside⁴ to the right hand or to the left.

Ye shall walk⁴ in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded¹⁴ you, that ye may live,⁴ and [that it may be] well¹ with you, and [that] ye may prolong⁵² [your] days in the land which ye shall possess.⁴
