Compare all
3 The Lord adid not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive.  
4 aThe Lord talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire.  
5 aI stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for byou were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain. He said: 
6 a‘I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of1 bondage. 
7 a‘You shall have no other gods1 before Me. 
8 a‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image—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;  
9 you shall not abow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,2 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 
10 abut showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and1 keep My commandments. 
11 a‘You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him1 guiltless who takes His name in vain. 
12 a‘Observe the Sabbath day, to1 keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 
13 aSix days you shall labor and do all your work, 
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.  

The People Afraid of God’s Presence

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.
