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 ye 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 show
you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason
of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying, |
6
|
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. |
7
|
Thou shalt have none other gods before me. |
8
|
Thou shalt not make thee 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 shalt 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 showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me
and keep my commandments. |
11
|
Thou shalt 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 hath commanded thee. |
13
|
Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work: |
14
|
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thine ox, nor thine 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 thou wast a servant in the land of
Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence
through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore
the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. |
16
|
Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God
hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and
that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee. |
17
|
Thou shalt not kill. |
18
|
Neither shalt thou commit adultery. |
19
|
Neither shalt thou steal. |
20
|
Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor. |
21
|
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither
shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his
manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or
any thing that is thy neighbor's. |
22
|
These words the LORD spake 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. |
23
|
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the
midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with
fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of
your tribes, and your elders; |
24
|
And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath 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 doth talk with man, and he liveth. |
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 hath heard the voice
of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire,
as we have, and lived? |
27
|
Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall
say: and speak thou 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 ye spake
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 thou here by me, and I will speak
unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the
judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do
them in the land which I give them to possess it. |
32
|
Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God
hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right
hand or to the left. |
33
|
Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God
hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be
well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the
land which ye shall possess. |
