¹ And God spake all these words saying: - ² I, am Yahweh thy God, - who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: - ³ Thou shalt not have other gods besides me.⁴ Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, - or that is in the earth beneath, - or that is in the waters beneath the earth:⁵ thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them - For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three generations and, unto four, of them that hate me;⁶ but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands of generations , - of them who love me, and keep my commandments.⁷ Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.⁸ Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:⁹ Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;¹⁰ but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, - thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,¹¹ For, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and the sea - and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, - for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.

¹² Honour thy father, and thy mother, - that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.¹³ Thou shalt not commit murder.¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit adultery.¹⁵ Thou shalt not steal.¹⁶ Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.¹⁷ Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbours house, - thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour's wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.

¹⁸ And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, - so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.¹⁹ And they said unto Moses, Speak, thou, with us, and we will hear, - but let not God speak with us lest we die.²⁰ And Moses said unto the people - Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, - and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.²¹ So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.

²² Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, - Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.²³ Ye shall not make aught beside me, - neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.²⁴ An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and will bless thee.²⁵ But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, - for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;²⁶ neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, - lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
