Deuteronomy 5:5-21
Lexham English Bible

5 I was standing between Yahweh and you[a] at that time to report[b] to you the word of Yahweh, for you were afraid because of the presence of[c] the fire, and so you did not go up the mountain. He said,[d]

6 ‘I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. 7 There shall not be for you other gods besides me.[e]

8 ‘You shall not make for yourself a divine image of any type of form that is in the heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.

9 ‘You shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, punishing the guilt of fathers upon their children and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those hating me, 10 but showing loyal love to thousands of those who love me and of those who keep my commandments.

11 ‘You shall not take up the name of Yahweh your God for a worthless purpose, for Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who uses his name for a worthless purpose.

12 ‘Observe the Sabbath day[f] to make it holy,[g] just as Yahweh your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall work, and you shall do all of your work, 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto Yahweh your God; you shall not do any work, or your son, or your daughter, or your slave, or your slave woman, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your domestic animals, or your resident alien who is in your towns,[h] so that your slave and your slave woman may rest as you rest. 15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore, Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath.[i]

16 ‘Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, so that it will be good for you[j] in the land[k] that Yahweh your God is giving to you.

17 ‘You shall not murder.

18 ‘And you shall not commit adultery.

19 ‘And you shall not steal.

20 ‘And you shall not falsely bear evidence against your neighbor.

21 ‘And you shall not covet the wife of your neighbor, and you shall not crave the house of your neighbor, his field or his slave or his slave woman or his ox and his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.’[l]

Deuteronomy 5:5-21
New International Version

5 (At that time I stood between(A) the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid(B) of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:

6 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt,(C) out of the land of slavery.(D)

7 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.

8 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.(E) 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents(F) to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,(G) 10 but showing love to a thousand(H) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.(I)

11 “You shall not misuse the name(J) of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.(K)

12 “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy,(L) as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day(M) is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant,(N) nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.(O) 15 Remember that you were slaves(P) in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand(Q) and an outstretched arm.(R) Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

16 “Honor your father(S) and your mother,(T) as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long(U) and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

17 “You shall not murder.(V)

18 “You shall not commit adultery.(W)

19 “You shall not steal.(X)

20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.(Y)

21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”(Z)
