UST DEU Chapter 5

DEU 5 ©

5Moses summoned all the people of Israel and said to them,

“You Israelite people, listen to all the rules that I am commanding you today. Learn them and be sure to obey them. 2When we were at Mount Sinai, Yahweh our God made a covenant with us. 3But this covenant was not only for our ancestors; he made it also for us who are alive now. 4Yahweh personally spoke with us on that mountain, from the middle of the fire. 5On that day, I stood between Yahweh and your parents in order to tell them what he said. That was because they were afraid of the fire, and they did not want to climb up the mountain. This is what Yahweh said:

6‘I am Yahweh your God, the one you worship. I am the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves there.

7Do not worship any god other than me.

9Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am Yahweh your God. I demand that you worship me only! I will punish the descendants of those who hate me. I will punish their descendants for three, even four generations. 10However, I will faithfully love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments.

11I am Yahweh your God, so do not use my name for the wrong purpose. This is because I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong purposes.

12Remember that the seventh day of every week belongs to me. This is according to what I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you.

16Honor your father and your mother, just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you. Do this in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh your God, will give you. Also do this in order that things will go well for you there.

17Do not murder anyone.

21Do not covet someone else’s wife, someone else’s house, someone else’s field, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that another person owns.’

22Those are the commandments that Yahweh commanded your families. They were gathered there at the bottom of the mountain. Yahweh spoke with a very loud voice from the middle of the fire, and there were dark clouds around the mountain. He spoke only those Ten Commandments. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

23Your parents heard Yahweh’s voice when he spoke to them out of the darkness, while there was a big fire burning on the mountain. After that, their leaders came to me. 24One of them said, ‘Listen to us! Yahweh our God showed us that he is very glorious and great when we heard him speak from the fire. Today we have realized that it is possible for us human beings to continue to live even though God has spoken to us. 25But we are afraid that we will die. We are afraid that this immense fire will burn us all up if we go on hearing Yahweh’s voice. 26We are the only people on earth who have remained alive after hearing the all-powerful God speak to them from a fire! 27So Moses, you go up the mountain and listen to everything that Yahweh our God says. Then come back and tell us everything that he has said, and we will listen to what he has said and obey it.’

28Yahweh heard your leaders say that. When I went back up the mountain, Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard what your leaders have said. What they have said is right. 29I surely wish that they would always have awesome respect for me and obey all my commandments. I desire their worship so that things may go well for them and for their descendants forever.

30So go down and tell them to return to their tents. 31But then, you come back up here and stand near me. I will give you all the rules and decrees that I want them to obey. Then you can teach them to the people so that they will obey them when they are in the land that I am giving to them.’

32So I went back down to the people and said to them, ‘Be sure that you do everything that Yahweh our God has commanded us to do. Be sure to obey his commandments. 33Conduct your lives as Yahweh our God has commanded us to do. This is so that you may live a long time. Also, this is so that things may go well for you when you are living in the land that you will occupy.’
