WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[6] "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. [7] You shall have no other gods before me. [8] "You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, [nor] any likeness [of anything] 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 yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, Yahweh, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me; [10] and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. [11] "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. [12] "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you. [13] Six days shall you labor, and do all your work; [14] but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God: [in it] you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest as well as you. [15] You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. [16] "Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. [17] "You shall not murder. [18] "Neither shall you commit adultery. [19] "Neither shall you steal. [20] "Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor. [21] "Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."
