Exodus 20 — GNV
20Verse 1Then God spake all these wordes, saying,Verse 2I am the Lord thy God, which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.Verse 3Thou shalt haue none other Gods before me.Verse 4Thou shalt make thee no grauen image, neither any similitude of things that are in heauen aboue, neither that are in the earth beneath, nor that are in the waters vnder the earth.Verse 5Thou shalt not bowe downe to them, neither serue them: for I am the Lord thy God, a ielous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vpon the third generation and vpon the fourth of them that hate me:Verse 6And shewing mercie vnto thousandes to them that loue me, and keepe my commandemets.Verse 7Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not hold him guiltles that taketh his Name in vayne.Verse 8Remember the Sabbath day, to keepe it holy.Verse 9Sixe dayes shalt thou labour, and doe all thy worke,Verse 10But the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any worke, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy mayde, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.Verse 11For in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth day: therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.Verse 12Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy dayes may be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.Verse 13Thou shalt not kill.Verse 14Thou shalt not commit adulterie.Verse 15Thou shalt not steale.Verse 16Thou shalt not beare false witnes against thy neighbour.Verse 17Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house, neither shalt thou couet thy neighbours wife, nor his man seruant, nor his mayde, nor his oxe, nor his asse, neyther any thing that is thy neighbours.Verse 18And all the people sawe the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountaine smoking and when the people saw it they fled and stoode afare off,Verse 19And sayde vnto Moses, Talke thou with vs, and we will heare: but let not God talke with vs, lest we die.Verse 20Then Moses sayde vnto the people, Feare not: for God is come to proue you, and that his feare may be before you, that ye sinne not.Verse 21So the people stoode afarre off, but Moses drew neere vnto the darkenes where God was.Verse 22And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Thus thou shalt say vnto the children of Israel, Ye haue seene that I haue talked with you from heauen.Verse 23Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of siluer, nor gods of golde: you shall make you none.Verse 24An altar of earth thou shalt make vnto me, and thereon shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheepe, and thine oxen: in all places, where I shall put the remembrance of my Name, I will come vnto thee, and blesse thee.Verse 25But if thou wilt make mee an altar of stone, thou shalt not buylde it of hewen stones: for if thou lift vp thy toole vpon them, thou hast polluted them.Verse 26Neither shalt thou goe vp by steppes vnto mine altar, that thy filthines be not discouered thereon.
