- 1And God spoke all these words, saying,
- 2I am Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
- 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
- 4Thou shalt not make thyself any graven image, or any form of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters under the earth:
- 5thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and to the fourth [supplied: generation] of them that hate me,
