THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

I. I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of

the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me. Thou

shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing

that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that

are in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve

them. I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the

fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them

that hate Me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and

keep My commandments.

II. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

III. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.

IV. Honor thy father and thy mother.

V. Thou shalt not kill.

VI. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

VII. Thou shalt not steal.

VIII. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

IX. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.

X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, nor his field, nor his

servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is

his.¹
