20:4 Do not make an idol for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.
20:5 You must not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers' sin, to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
20:6 but showing faithful love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commands.
20:7 Do not misuse the name of the LORD your God, because the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.
20:9 You are to labor six days and do all your work,
20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You must not do any work--you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
20:11 For the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.
20:12 Honor your father and your mother so that you may have a long life in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
20:16 Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
20:17 Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
20:18 All the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain surrounded by smoke. When the people saw it they trembled and stood at a distance."
20:19 You speak to us, and we will listen," they said to Moses, "but don't let God speak to us, or we will die."
20:20 Moses responded to the people, "Don't be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you will fear Him and will not sin."
20:21 And the people remained standing at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
20:22 Then the LORD told Moses, "This is what you are to say to the Israelites: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
20:23 You must not make gods of silver to rival Me; you must not make gods of gold for yourselves."
20:24 You must make an earthen altar for Me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats, as well as your cattle. I will come to you and bless you in every place where I cause My name to be remembered.
20:25 If you make a stone altar for Me, you must not build it out of cut stones. If you use your chisel on it, you will defile it.
20:26 You must not go up to My altar on steps, so that your nakedness is not exposed on it."
