American Standard Version (1901). Public domain.

And GodH430 spakeH1696 all these wordsH1697, sayingH559, I am JehovahH3068 thy GodH430, who broughtH3318 thee out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650. Thou shalt have no otherH312 godsH430 before meH6440. Thou shalt not makeH6213 unto thee a graven imageH6459, nor any likenessH8544 of any thing thatH834 is in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or that is in the earthH776 beneath, or that is in the waterH4325 under the earthH776: thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself unto them, nor serveH5647 them; for I JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH430, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121, upon the thirdH8029 and upon the fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me, and showingH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687. Thou shalt not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 in vainH7723; for JehovahH3068 will not hold him guiltlessH5352 that takethH5375 his nameH8034 in vainH7723. RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keep it holyH6942. SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou laborH5647, and doH6213 all thy workH4399; but the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a sabbathH7676 unto JehovahH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not doH6213 any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy man-servantH5650, nor thy maid-servantH519, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179: for in sixH8337 daysH3117 JehovahH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that in them is, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: wherefore JehovahH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowedH6942 it. HonorH3513 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, that thy daysH3117 may be longH748 in the landH127 which JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee. Thou shalt not killH7523. Thou shalt not commit adulteryH5003. Thou shalt not stealH1589. Thou shalt not bearH6030 falseH8267 witnessH5707 against thy neighborH7453. Thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbor'sH7453 houseH1004, thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbor'sH7453 wifeH802, nor his man-servantH5650, nor his maid-servantH519, nor his oxH7794, nor his assH2543, nor anything that is thy neighbor'sH7453. And all the peopleH5971 perceivedH7200 the thunderingsH6963, and the lightningsH3940, and the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226: and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they trembledH5128, and stoodH5975 afar offH7350. And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 thou with us, and we will hearH8085; but let not GodH430 speakH1696 with us, lest we dieH4191. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 not: for GodH430 is comeH935 toH5668 proveH5254 you, and that his fearH3374 may be before youH6440, that ye sinH2398 not. And the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 afar offH7350, and MosesH4872 drew nearH5066 unto the thick darknessH6205 where GodH430 was. And JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Thus thou shalt sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye yourselves have seenH7200 that I have talkedH1696 with you from heavenH8064. Ye shall not makeH6213 other godsH430 with me; gods of silverH3701, or godsH430 of goldH2091, ye shall not makeH6213 unto you. An altarH4196 of earthH127 thou shalt makeH6213 unto me, and shalt sacrificeH2076 thereon thy burnt-offeringsH5930, and thy peace-offeringsH8002, thy sheepH6629, and thine oxenH1241: in every placeH4725 where I recordH2142 my nameH8034 I will comeH935 unto thee and I will blessH1288 thee. And if thou makeH6213 me an altarH4196 of stoneH68, thou shalt not buildH1129 it of hewn stonesH1496; for if thou lift upH5130 thy toolH2719 upon it, thou hast pollutedH2490 it. Neither shalt thou go upH5927 by stepsH4609 unto mine altarH4196, that thy nakednessH6172 be not uncoveredH1540 thereon.
