Exodus

Exodus 19:7

And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Jehovah commanded him.

Exodus 19:8

And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah hath spoken we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people unto Jehovah.

Exodus 19:9

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto Jehovah.

Exodus 19:10

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments,

Exodus 19:11

and be ready against the third day; for the third day Jehovah will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

Exodus 19:12

And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

Exodus 19:13

no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, he shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

Exodus 19:14

And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments.

Exodus 19:15

And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not near a woman.

Exodus 19:16

And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled.

Exodus 19:17

And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

Exodus 19:18

And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

Exodus 19:19

And when the voice of the trumpet waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

Exodus 19:20

And Jehovah came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount: and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

Exodus 19:21

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.

Exodus 19:22

And let the priests also, that come near to Jehovah, sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth upon them.

Exodus 19:23

And Moses said unto Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

Exodus 19:24

And Jehovah said unto him, Go, get thee down; and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto Jehovah, lest he break forth upon them.

Exodus 19:25

So Moses went down unto the people, and told them.

Exodus 20:1

And God spake all these words, saying,

Exodus 20:2

I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Exodus 20:3

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Exodus 20:4

Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness [of any thing] that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Exodus 20:5

thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

Exodus 20:6

and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

Exodus 20:7

Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Exodus 20:8

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exodus 20:9

Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

Exodus 20:10

but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Exodus 20:11

for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Exodus 20:12

Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

Exodus 20:13

Thou shalt not kill.

Exodus 20:14

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Exodus 20:15

Thou shalt not steal.

Exodus 20:16

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

Exodus 20:17

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

Exodus 20:18

And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

Exodus 20:19

And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

Exodus 20:20

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.

Exodus 20:21

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

Exodus 20:22

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

Exodus 20:23

Ye shall not make [other gods] with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.

Exodus 20:24

An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.

Exodus 20:25

And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

Exodus 20:26

Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.

Exodus 21:1

Now these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them.

Exodus 21:2

If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

Exodus 21:3

If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him.

Exodus 21:4

If his master give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

Exodus 21:5

But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
