c. Ten Commandments
 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. The Lord our God
made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not this covenant
with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive
this day. The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out
of the midst of the fire, (I stood between the Lord and you at that
time, to show you the world of the Lord: for ye were afraid by reason
of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying:
"I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land
of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
" Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
"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: 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, and showing
mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
"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.
"Keep the sabbath day to sanctury as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
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.
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.
"Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God bath
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.
"Thou shalt not kill.
"Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
"Neither shalt thou steal.
"Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
"Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither
shalt thou 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."
