Exodus 20 — TOJB
20Verse 1Then Elohim spoke all these words, saying,Verse 2I am Hashem Eloheicha, Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim, out of the bais avadim (house of slaves).Verse 3Thou shalt have no elohim acherim in My presence.Verse 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any pesel, or any temunah of any thing that is in Shomayim above, or that is in ha'aretz beneath, or that is in the mayim under ha'aretz.Verse 5Thou shalt not tishtacheveh to them, nor serve them; for I Hashem Eloheicha am an El kanna, visiting the avon Avot upon the Banim unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;Verse 6But showing chesed unto thousands of them that love Me, and are shomer over My mitzvot.Verse 7Thou shalt not take the Shem Hashem Eloheicha in vain; for Hashem will not hold him guiltless that taketh Shmo in vain.Verse 8Remember Yom HaShabbos, to keep it kodesh.Verse 9Sheshet yamim shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:Verse 10But the Yom HaShevi'i is the Shabbos of Hashem Eloheicha; in it thou shalt not do any melachah, thou, nor thy ben, nor thy bat, thy eved, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy ger that is within thy gates;Verse 11For in sheshet yamim Hashem made Shomayim and Ha'Aretz, the yam, and all that in them is, and rested Yom HaShevi'i; for this reason Hashem blessed Yom HaShabbos, and set it apart as kodesh.Verse 12Honor thy av and thy em; that thy yamim may be long upon ha'adamah which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee.Verse 13Thou shalt not murder. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear ed sheker against thy neighbor.Verse 14Thou shalt not covet thy neighborʼs bais, thou shalt not covet thy neighborʼs isha, nor his eved, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighborʼs.Verse 15And kol HaAm saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the sound of the shofar, and HaHar smoking; and when HaAm saw it, they drew back, and stood afar off.Verse 16And they said unto Moshe, Thou speak with us, and we will hear; but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.+Verse 17And Moshe said unto HaAm, Fear not: for HaElohim is come to test you, and that His fear may be upon your faces, that ye sin not.Verse 18And HaAm stood afar off, while Moshe drew near unto the thick cloud where HaElohim was.Verse 19And Hashem said unto Moshe, Thus thou shalt say unto the Bnei Yisroel, You yourselves have seen that from Shomayim I have spoken with you.Verse 20Ye shall not make beside Me elohei kesef, neither shall ye make for yourselves elohei zahav.Verse 21Mizbe'ach adamah thou shalt make unto Me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy olot, and thy shelamim, thy tzon, and thine oxen; in all places where I cause My Shem to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.Verse 22And if thou wilt make Me a Mizbe'ach avanim, thou shalt not build it of cut stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast rendered it polluted.Verse 23Neither shalt thou go up by stairs unto Mine Mizbe'ach, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
