Exodus 20 ASV — Exodus 20

1 And God spake all these words, saying, ASV — Exodus 20:1

2 I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ASV — Exodus 20:2

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. ASV — Exodus 20:3

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness [of any thing] that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ASV — Exodus 20:4

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, ASV — Exodus 20:5

6 and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. ASV — Exodus 20:6

7 Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. ASV — Exodus 20:7

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. ASV — Exodus 20:8

9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; ASV — Exodus 20:9

10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: ASV — Exodus 20:10

11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. ASV — Exodus 20:11

12 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. ASV — Exodus 20:12

13 Thou shalt not kill. ASV — Exodus 20:13

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. ASV — Exodus 20:14

15 Thou shalt not steal. ASV — Exodus 20:15

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. ASV — Exodus 20:16

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor`s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor`s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor`s. ASV — Exodus 20:17

18 And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off. ASV — Exodus 20:18

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die. ASV — Exodus 20:19

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not. ASV — Exodus 20:20

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. ASV — Exodus 20:21

22 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. ASV — Exodus 20:22

23 Ye shall not make [other gods] with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you. ASV — Exodus 20:23

24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. ASV — Exodus 20:24

25 And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. ASV — Exodus 20:25

26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon. ASV — Exodus 20:26
