¹Then Moses called the whole of Israel and said to them, “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the regulations which I am speaking in your ears today. And you shall learn them, and you will ensure that you carry them out. ²The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. ³It is not with our fathers that the Lord made this covenant, but with us – those of us who are all alive here today. ⁴The Lord spoke face to face with you, at the mountain, from the middle of the fire. ⁵I was standing between the Lord and you at that time to tell you the word of the Lord (for you were afraid of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain), and he said, ⁶‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of slavery. ⁷You shall not have any other gods besides me. ⁸You shall not make yourself any engraved image or any image of what is in heaven above or of what is on the earth below, or of what is in the water below the surface of the earth. ⁹You shall not worship them, and you shall not serve them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, and on those of the third generation, and on those of the fourth generation, of those who hate me, ¹⁰and showing kindness to thousands, to those who love me and to those who keep my commandments. ¹¹You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him who takes his name in vain innocent. ¹²Keep the Sabbath day, to sanctify it, as the Lord your God has commanded you. ¹³For six days you shall work and carry out all your business, ¹⁴but the seventh day is the Lord your God's Sabbath. You shall not do any work on it – neither you nor your son nor your daughter, neither your manservant nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your foreigner who is within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may have rest, as you do. ¹⁵And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, but the Lord your God brought you out of there with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm. On account of this the Lord your God commands you to keep the Sabbath day. ¹⁶Honour your father and your mother, according to what the Lord your God has commanded you, in order that your days may be long, and in order that it may go well with you on the land which the Lord your God is giving you. ¹⁷You shall not commit murder. ¹⁸You shall not commit adultery. ¹⁹You shall not steal. ²⁰You shall not give a false testimony against your neighbour. ²¹You shall not covet your neighbour's wife, and you shall not be desirous of your neighbour's house, his field or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything which is your neighbour's.’ ²²The Lord spoke these words to the whole of your convocation at the mountain from the middle of the fire, the cloud and the thick darkness, with a loud voice. And he did not add to them, and he wrote them on two tablets of stone, and he gave them to me. ²³And it came to pass, when you heard the sound from the middle of the darkness, and that the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all you who are heads of your tribes, and your elders. ²⁴And you said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the middle of the fire. This day, we have seen that God speaks with man, and he lives. ²⁵So now, 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 will die. ²⁶For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the middle of the fire as we have, and has lived? ²⁷You go near and listen to everything that the Lord our God says, then you can tell us everything that the Lord our God says to you, and we will hear it and do it.’ ²⁸And the Lord heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people who spoke to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. ²⁹If only they had a heart like this: to fear me and to keep all my commandments all the time, so that it would go well with them and with their sons, age-abidingly. ³⁰Go and say to them, «Now go back to your tents.» ³¹But you, stand here with me, and I will tell you the whole body of commandments and the statutes and the regulations which you shall teach them to do in the land which I am giving them, so that they take possession of it.’ ³²And you will ensure that you act as the Lord your God has commanded you. You shall not deviate to the right or to the left. ³³You shall walk in every way which the Lord your God commands you, so that you may live, and it may go well with you, and you may live long in the land which you will be taking possession of.
