DEUTERONOMY ยท Chapter 5
5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel,
the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that all
of you may learn them, and keep, and do them.
5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us,
even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst
of the fire,
5:5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the
word of the LORD: for all of you were afraid by reason of the fire, and
went not up into the mount;) saying,
5:6 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt,
from the house of bondage.
5:7 You shall have no other gods before me.
5:8 You shall not make you any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that
is in the waters beneath the earth:
5:9 You shall not bow down yourself unto them, nor serve them: for
I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate
me,
5:10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep
my commandments.
5:11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for
the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.
5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD your God has
commanded you.
5:13 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work:
5:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it
you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your
manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of
your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; that your manservant
and your maidservant may rest as well as you.
5:15 And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and
that the LORD your God brought you out thence through a mighty hand and
by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep
the sabbath day.
5:16 Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded
you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you,
in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
5:17 You shall not kill.
5:18 Neither shall you commit adultery.
5:19 Neither shall you steal.
5:20 Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbour.
5:21 Neither shall you desire your neighbour's wife, neither shall
you covet your neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his
maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is your neighbour's.
5:22 These words the LORD spoke unto all your assembly in the mount
out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness,
with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables
of stone, and delivered them unto me.
5:23 And it came to pass, when all of you heard the voice out of the
midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that all
of you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
5:24 And all of you said, Behold, the LORD our God has showed us his
glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of
the fire: we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives.
5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume
us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
5:26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the
living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
5:27 Go you near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and
speak you unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto you; and we
will hear it, and do it.
5:28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when all of you spoke
unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words
of this people, which they have spoken unto you: they have well said all
that they have spoken.
5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear
me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them,
and with their children for ever!
5:30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
5:31 But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak unto you
all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you shall
teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess
it.
5:32 All of you shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God
has commanded you: all of you shall not turn aside to the right hand or
to the left.
5:33 All of you shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God
has commanded you, that all of you may live, and that it may be well with
you, and that all of you may prolong your days in the land which all of
you shall possess.
