1. And Moshe called kol Yisroel, and said unto them, Shema, Yisroel, to the chukkim and mishpatim which I speak in your ears today, that ye may learn them, and be shomer to do them.
2. Hashem Eloheinu made a Brit with us in Chorev.
3. Hashem made not this Brit with Avoteinu, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4. Hashem talked with you panim b'panim in the har out of the midst of the eish,
5. (I stood between Hashem and you at that time, to show you the Devar Hashem; for ye were afraid by reason of the eish, and went not up into the har) saying:
6. I am Hashem Eloheicha, Which brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim, from the bais avadim.
7. Thou shalt have no elohim acharim before Me.
8. Thou shalt not make thee any pesel, or any temunah of anything that is in Shomayim above, or that is in Ha'Aretz beneath, or that is in the mayim beneath ha'aretz;
9. Lo tishtachaveh (thou shalt not bow down thyself) unto them, nor serve them; for I Hashem Eloheicha am an El Kannah, visiting the iniquity of the avot upon the banim unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me,
10. And showing chesed unto thousands of them that love Me and are shomer over My mitzvot.
11. Thou shalt not take the Shem of Hashem Eloheicha in vain; for Hashem will not hold him guiltless that taketh Shmo in vain.
