1. Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances which I proclaim in your hearing this day, that you may learn them and take care to observe them.
2. The Lord, our God, made a covenant with us at Horeb;
3. not with our ancestors did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, all of us who are alive here this day.
4. Face to face, the Lord spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire,
5. while I was standing between the Lord and you at that time, to announce to you these words of the Lord, since you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain:
6. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7. You shall not have other gods beside me.
8. You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth;
9. you shall not bow down before them or serve them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, bringing punishment for their parents’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation,
10. but showing love down to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11. You shall not invoke the name of the Lord, your God, in vain. For the Lord will not leave unpunished anyone who invokes his name in vain.
12. Observe the sabbath day—keep it holy, as the Lord, your God, commanded you.
