Deuteronomy
5, 6
Deu
5:1 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the
statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that
you may learn them, and observe to do them.
Deu
5:2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Deu
5:3 Yahweh didn't make this covenant with our fathers, but with us,
even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
Deu
5:4 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the
midst of the fire,
Deu
5:5 (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you the
word of Yahweh: for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn't
go up onto the mountain;) saying,
Deu
5:6 "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deu
5:7 You shall have no other gods before me.
Deu
5:8 "You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, nor
any likeness of anything
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth:
Deu
5:9 you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I,
Yahweh, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers on the children, and on the third and on the fourth
generation of those who hate me;
Deu
5:10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me
and keep my commandments.
Deu
5:11 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain:
for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Deu
5:12 "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your
God commanded you.
Deu
5:13 You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
Deu
5:14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which
you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor
your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your
donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within
your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest
as well as you.
Deu
5:15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of
Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand
and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yahweh your God commanded you
to keep the Sabbath day.
Deu
5:16 "Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God
commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well
with you, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
Deu
5:17 "You shall not murder.
Deu
5:18 "Neither shall you commit adultery.
Deu
5:19 "Neither shall you steal.
Deu
5:20 "Neither shall you give false testimony against your
neighbor.
Deu
5:21 "Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; neither
shall you desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his male
servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything
that is your neighbor's."
Deu
5:22 These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain
out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick
darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on
two tables of stone, and gave them to me.
Deu
5:23 It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the
darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came
near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Deu
5:24 and you said, Behold, Yahweh 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 speak with man, and he
lives.
Deu
5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will
consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, then we
shall die.
Deu
5:26 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?
Deu
5:27 Go near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say: and tell
us all that Yahweh our God shall tell you; and we will hear it, and
do it.
Deu
5:28 Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and
Yahweh said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this
people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that
they have spoken.
Deu
5:29 Oh that there were such a 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 forever!
Deu
5:30 Go tell them, Return to your tents.
Deu
5:31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the
commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall
teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to
possess it.
Deu
5:32 You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has
commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the
left.
Deu
5:33 You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh 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.
Deu
6:1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances,
which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them
in the land where you go over to possess it;
Deu
6:2 that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes
and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and
your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be
prolonged.
Deu
6:3 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be
well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God
of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and
honey.
Deu
6:4 Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one:
Deu
6:5 and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with
all your soul, and with all your might.
Deu
6:6 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your
heart;
Deu
6:7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall
talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the
way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Deu
6:8 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be
for symbols between your eyes.
Deu
6:9 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on
your gates.
Deu
6:10 It shall be, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land
which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn't build,
Deu
6:11 and houses full of all good things, which you didn't fill, and
cisterns dug out, which you didn't dig, vineyards and olive trees,
which you didn't plant, and you shall eat and be full;
Deu
6:12 then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you forth out
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deu
6:13 You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and
shall swear by his name.
Deu
6:14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples
who are around you;
Deu
6:15 for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest
the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy
you from off the face of the earth.
Deu
6:16 You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in
Massah.
Deu
6:17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God,
and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
Deu
6:18 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of
Yahweh; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and
possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,
Deu
6:19 to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has
spoken.
Deu
6:20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the
testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our
God has commanded you?
Deu
6:21 then you shall tell your son, We were Pharaoh's bondservants in
Egypt: and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
Deu
6:22 and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt,
on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Deu
6:23 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to
give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
Deu
6:24 Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh
our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at
this day.
Deu
6:25 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this
commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.
