Deuteronomy 5 — Chapter 5

Deuteronomy · Restored Names Edition

1And Moses called all Yashar'el (Israel), and said unto them, Hear, O Yashar'el (Israel), the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and keep, and do them.

2Yahuah Eloheinu (The LORD our God) made a covenant with us in Horeb.

3Yahuah (LORD) made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

4Yahuah (LORD) talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

5(I stood between Yahuah (LORD) and you at that time, to shew you the word of Yahuah (LORD): for you were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

6I am Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God), which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

7You shall have none other gods before me.

8You shall not make you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

9You shall not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) am a jealous Elohim (God), visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

10And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

11You shall not take the name of Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) in vain: for Yahuah (LORD) will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

12Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) has commanded you.

13Six days you shall labour, and do all your work:

14But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God): in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you.

15And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) brought you out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) commanded you to keep the sabbath day.

16Honour your father and your mother, as Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) gives you.

17You shall not kill.

18Neither shall you commit adultery.

19Neither shall you steal.

20Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbour.

21Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s wife, neither shall you covet your neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is your neighbour’s.

22These words Yahuah (LORD) spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

23And it came to pass, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

24And you said, Behold, Yahuah Eloheinu (the LORD our God) has shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that Elohim (God) does talk with man, and he lives.

25Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahuah Eloheinu (the LORD our God) any more, then we shall die.

26For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living Elohim (God) speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

27Go you near, and hear all that Yahuah Eloheinu (the LORD our God) shall say: and speak you unto us all that Yahuah Eloheinu (the LORD our God) shall speak unto you; and we will hear it, and do it.

28And Yahuah (LORD) heard the voice of your words, when you spake unto me; and Yahuah (LORD) said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto you: they have well said all that they have spoken.

29O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

30Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

31But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak unto you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

32You shall observe to do therefore as Yahuah Elohaychem (the LORD your God) has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

33You shall walk in all the ways which Yahuah Elohaychem (the LORD your God) has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
