Deuteronomy 5:16

Compare all

14 but the seventh day is the ^aSabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no 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 cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

15 ^aAnd remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there ^bby a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

16 ^a‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, ^bthat your days may be long, and that it may be well with ^cyou in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

17 ^a‘You shall not murder.

18 ^a‘You shall not commit adultery.

19 ^a‘You shall not steal.

20 ^a‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

21 ^a‘You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.’

22 “These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and He added no more. And ^aHe wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

23 ^a“So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.

24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and ^awe have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he ^bstill lives.

25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; ^aif we hear the voice of the Lord our God anymore, then we shall die.

26 ^aFor who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
