you are here: > Deuteronomy > Chapter 05
 
Chapter 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 you may learn them, and keep, and do them.
  
2.
 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
  
3.
 The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
  
4.
 The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
  
5.
 (I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for you were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
  
6.
 I am the Lord thy God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
  
7.
 Thou shall have none other gods before me.
  
8.
 Thou 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:
  
9.
 Thou shall not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy 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,
  
10.
 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
  
11.
 Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
  
12.
 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God has commanded thee.
  
13.
 Six days you shall labour, and do all thy work:
  
14.
 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it you shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
  
15.
 And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought you out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.
  
16.
 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God has commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.
  
17.
 Thou shall not kill.
  
18.
 Neither shall you commit adultery.
  
19.
 Neither shall you steal.  
20.
 Neither shall you bear false witness against thy neighbour.
  
21.
 Neither shall you desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shall you covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
  
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 gave us the sacred black stones from heaven upon which we wrote His word.
  
23.
 And it came to pass, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
  
24.
 And you said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown 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.
  
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.
  
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?
  
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 thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
  
28.
 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when 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 thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
  
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!
  
30.
 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
  
31.
 But as for thee, 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.
  
32.
 You shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
  
33.
 You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
