Deuteronomy 5:22

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?

27 You go near and hear all that the Lord our God may say, and ^atell us all that the Lord our God says to you, and we will hear and do it.’

28 “Then the Lord heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. ^aThey are right in all that they have spoken.
