Prologue |
|
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage. |
|
|
1st |
2 I the Lord am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
the house of bondage: |
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. |
2 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those
things that are in the waters under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God,
mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto
the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my
commandments. |
|
2nd |
3 You shall have no other gods besides Me. 4 You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any
likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the
waters under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord your
God am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the
children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject
Me, 6 but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who
love Me and keep My commandments. |
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that
is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the
Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments. |
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the
Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God
in vain. |
|
3rd |
7 You shall not swear falsely by the name of the Lord your God; for
the Lord will not clear one who swears falsely by His name. |
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the
Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. |
8 Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works. 10 But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou
shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is
within thy gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and
all things that are in them, and rested on the seventh day: therefore the
Lord blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it. |
|
4th |
8 Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God: you shall
not do any work -- you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or
your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements. 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth and sea, and all
that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed
the sabbath day and hallowed it. |

thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it. |

thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox,

handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his. |
