The Ten Commandments in the
Bible
Exodus 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house
of bondage. F59 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou
shalt not make unto 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 water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing
mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the
LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou
labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath
of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six
days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou
shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt
not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his
ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and
the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the
people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said
unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God
speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear
not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before
your faces, that ye sin not. 21 And the people stood afar off, and
Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
