The Book of Deuteronomy 5

5 Then Moses called to all Israel and said to them,

“Listen, Israel, to the statutes and the ordinances that I will speak in your ears today, and you shall learn them and be careful to do them. 2 Yahweh our God cut a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 Yahweh did not cut this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those of us here today, all who are living. 4 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain, from the midst of the fire, 5 —I stood between Yahweh and between you at that time, to reveal to you the word of Yahweh. For you were afraid of the face of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain—saying,

6 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.

7 There shall not be for you other gods above my face.

8 Do not make for yourself a carved figure of any likeness that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. 9 You shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God. I visit the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, and on the third and on the fourth generation of the haters of me, 10 But I show covenant faithfulness to thousands, to lovers of me and keepers of my commandments.

11 Do not lift up the name of Yahweh your God with emptiness, for Yahweh will not leave unpunished he who lifts up his name with emptiness.

12 Keeping the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as Yahweh your God commanded you. 13 Six days you may labor and do all your work. 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath for Yahweh your God. Do not do any work—you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant or your ox or your donkey or any of your cattle or a foreigner who is within your gates, so that your male servant and your female servant can rest like you. 15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore, Yahweh your God has commanded you to celebrate the Sabbath day.

16 Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God has commanded you, so that you may prolong your days and so that it may go well with you on the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you.

17 Do not murder.

18 And do not commit adultery.

19 And do not steal.

20 And do not testify against your neighbor false testimony.

21 And do not desire the wife of your neighbor, and you shall not covet the house of your neighbor, his field, and his male servant and his female servant, his ox and his donkey and anything that is of your neighbor.

22 These words Yahweh spoke in a great voice to all your assembly on the mountain in the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the gloom, and he did not add more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

23 And it happened, when you heard the voice in the midst of the darkness, and the mountain was burning with fire, then you approached me—all the heads of your tribes and your elders. 24 And you said, ‘Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire. This day we have seen that God speaks to man, yet he lives. 25 And now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us if we continue anymore to hear the voice of Yahweh our God, and we will die. 26 For who is there of all flesh that has heard the voice of the living God speak from the midst of the fire like us and has lived? 27 You approach and listen to everything that Yahweh our God says, and speak to us everything that Yahweh our God says to you, and we will listen and obey.’

28 And Yahweh heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me. And Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people that they spoke to you. All that they have spoken is good. 29 Who will give and have this heart in them, to fear me and keep all my commandments all the days, so that it will be well for them and for their sons forever?

30 Go say to them, “Return yourselves to your tents.” 31 But you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandment and the statutes and the ordinances that you will teach them and they will do in the land that I am giving to them to possess it.’

32 And you shall keep them, doing as Yahweh your God has commanded you. Do not turn aside, right nor left. 33 In all the ways that Yahweh your God has commanded you, you shall walk so that you might live, and goodness might be for you, and you might prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
