He said: 6 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 7 You shall have no other gods before Me. 8 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath. 9 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the iniquity of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me. 10 But showing steadfast love to thousands of generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. 11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who takes His name in vain. 12 Observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work. 14 But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female servant, your ox, your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the foreigner residing in your towns—so that your male and female servants may rest as you do. 15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore, the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. 16 Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well for you in the land the LORD your God is giving you. 17 You shall not murder. 18 You shall not commit adultery. 19 You shall not steal. 20 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 21 You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
