- 1And God said all these words:
- 2I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
- 3You are to have no other gods but me.
- 4You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
- 5You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth genera(possibly incomplete in the source)

- 8Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
- 9On six days do all your work:
- 10But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:

- 18And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
- 19And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
- 20And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
