God

`Thou hast no other Gods before Me.

Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, am a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third generation , and on the fourth, of those hating Me,

and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.

`Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.

and the seventh day is a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, --

for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.

`Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

and say unto Moses, `Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'

And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces--that ye sin not.'

And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God is .

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye--ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;

ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.

`An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee.

`And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it;

neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.

as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth flee.

`And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.

an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;

`He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.

if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;

and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.

`If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;

for it alone is his covering, it is his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I am gracious.

`Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;

so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.
