"Remember ^(C1)the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

"^(C1)For six days you shall labor and do all your work,

but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the LORD your God; on it ^(C1)you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your ^(F1)resident who ^(F2)stays with you.

"^(C1)For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

"^(C1)Honor your father and your mother, so that your ^(C2)days may be prolonged on the land which the LORD your God gives you.

"^(C1)You shall not murder.

"^(C1)You shall not commit adultery.

"^(C1)You shall not steal.

"^(C1)You shall not ^(F1)give false testimony against your ^(C2)neighbor.

"^(C1)You shall not covet your neighbor's house; ^(C2)you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male slave, or his female slave, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

And ^(C1)all the people were watching and hearing the ^(F1)thunder and the lightning flashes, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it all, they trembled and stood at a distance.

^(C1)Then they said to Moses, "Speak ^(F1)to us yourself and we will listen; but do not have God speak ^(F1)to us, or we will die!"

However, Moses said to the people, "^(C1)Do not be afraid; for God has come in order ^(C2)to test you, and in order that ^(C3)the fear of Him may ^(F1)remain with you, so that you will not sin."

So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached ^(C1)the thick darkness where God was.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that ^(C1)I have spoken ^(F1)to you from heaven.
