Exodus 20:14-25 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

14. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15. Thou shalt not steal.

16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.

18. And all the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking: and being terrified and struck with fear, they stood afar off,

19. Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord speak to us, lest we die.

20. And Moses said to the people: Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.

21. And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was.

22. And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

23. You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold.

24. You shall make an altar of earth unto me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be: I will come to thee, and will bless thee.

25. And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be defiled.
