1 Moses|strong="H4872" called|strong="H7121" together all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" Israelites|strong="H3478" and|strong="H3478" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" them|strong="H0413", “Israelites|strong="H3478", listen|strong="H8085" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" laws|strong="H2706" and|strong="H3478" rules|strong="H2706" that|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" tell|strong="H0559" you|strong="H0834" today|strong="H3117". Learn|strong="H3925" these|strong="H1696" laws|strong="H2706" and|strong="H3478" be|strong="H3478" sure to|strong="H0413" obey|strong="H8085" them|strong="H0413".
2 The|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" made|strong="H3772" an|strong="H3772" agreement|strong="H1285" with|strong="H5973" us at|strong="H3068" Mount Horeb|strong="H2722".
3 The|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" did|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" make|strong="H3772" this|strong="H2063" agreement|strong="H1285" with|strong="H0854" our|strong="H3068" ancestors|strong="H0001", but|strong="H3588" with|strong="H0854" us|strong="H3588"—yes|strong="H3588", with|strong="H0854" all|strong="H3605" of|strong="H3068" us|strong="H3588" who|strong="H3605" are|strong="H3117" alive|strong="H2416" here|strong="H6311" today|strong="H3117".
4 The|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" spoke|strong="H1696" with|strong="H5973" you|strong="H6440" face|strong="H6440" to|strong="H1696" face|strong="H6440" at|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3068" mountain|strong="H2022". He|strong="H3068" spoke|strong="H1696" to|strong="H1696" you|strong="H6440" from|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" fire|strong="H0784".
5 But|strong="H3588" you|strong="H3588" were|strong="H2022" afraid|strong="H3372" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" fire|strong="H0784". And|strong="H3068" you|strong="H3588" did|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" go|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" the|strong="H0853" mountain|strong="H2022". So|strong="H3808" I|strong="H0595" stood|strong="H5975" between|strong="H0996" you|strong="H3588" and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" to|strong="H0559" tell|strong="H5046" you|strong="H3588" what|strong="H1697" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559". He|strong="H1931" said|strong="H0559",
6 ‘I|strong="H0834" am|strong="H0595" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430". I|strong="H0834" am|strong="H0595" the|strong="H0834" one|strong="H0834" who|strong="H0834" freed you|strong="H0834" from|strong="H3318" Egypt|strong="H4714", where|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0834" were|strong="H0834" slaves|strong="H5650".
7 ‘You|strong="H6440" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" worship any|strong="H1961" other|strong="H0312" gods|strong="H0430" except|strong="H3808" me|strong="H6440".
8 ‘You|strong="H0834" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" make|strong="H6213" any|strong="H3605" idols|strong="H6459". Don’t|strong="H3808" make|strong="H6213" any|strong="H3605" statues or|strong="H3808" pictures of|strong="H0776" anything|strong="H3605" up|strong="H3605" in|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" sky|strong="H8064" or|strong="H3808" of|strong="H0776" anything|strong="H3605" on|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" earth|strong="H0776" or|strong="H3808" of|strong="H0776" anything|strong="H3605" down|strong="H4605" in|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" water|strong="H4325".
9 Don’t|strong="H3808" worship|strong="H7812" or|strong="H3808" serve|strong="H5647" idols of|strong="H1121" any|strong="H3588" kind, because|strong="H3588" I|strong="H0595" am|strong="H0595" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430". I|strong="H0595" hate|strong="H8130" for|strong="H3588" my|strong="H3068" people|strong="H1121" to|strong="H5921" worship|strong="H7812" other gods|strong="H0430". People|strong="H1121" who|strong="H3068" sin|strong="H5771" against|strong="H5921" me|strong="H5921" become|strong="H5647" my|strong="H3068" enemies|strong="H8130". And|strong="H1121" I|strong="H0595" will|strong="H3068" punish|strong="H6485" them|strong="H5921", and|strong="H1121" their|strong="H3068" children|strong="H1121", their|strong="H3068" grandchildren|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" even|strong="H3588" their|strong="H3068" great-grandchildren.
10 But|strong="H4687" I will|strong="H0157" be very kind to|strong="H8104" people who|strong="H8104" love|strong="H0157" me|strong="H8104" and|strong="H4687" obey|strong="H6213" my|strong="H8104" commands|strong="H4687". I will|strong="H0157" be kind to|strong="H8104" their|strong="H8104" families|strong="H0505" for|strong="H2617" thousands|strong="H0505" of|strong="H0505" generations|strong="H0157"!

14 but|strong="H3808" the|strong="H3605" seventh|strong="H7637" day|strong="H3117" is|strong="H0834" a|strong="H3644" day|strong="H3117" of|strong="H1121" rest|strong="H5117" in|strong="H0430" honor of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430". So|strong="H4616" on|strong="H3117" that|strong="H0834" day|strong="H3117" no|strong="H3808" one|strong="H3605" should|strong="H3068" work|strong="H4399"—not|strong="H3808" you|strong="H0859", your|strong="H3068" sons|strong="H1121" and|strong="H1121" daughters|strong="H1323", foreigners|strong="H1616" living in|strong="H0430" your|strong="H3068" cities|strong="H8179" or|strong="H3808" your|strong="H3068" men|strong="H1121" and|strong="H1121" women|strong="H1323" slaves|strong="H5650".

22 Moses|strong="H5414" said|strong="H1696", “The|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" gave|strong="H5414" these|strong="H0428" commands|strong="H1697" to|strong="H0413" all|strong="H3605" of|strong="H3068" you|strong="H5414" when|strong="H1696" you|strong="H5414" were|strong="H0428" together|strong="H5921" there|strong="H2022" at|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" mountain|strong="H2022".
