2. Yahweh our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
3. It was not with our ancestors that Yahweh made this covenant, but with these of us who are here alive today.
4. Face to face Yahweh spoke with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire.
5. I was standing between Yahweh and you at that time to report to you the word of Yahweh, for you were afraid because of the presence of the fire, and so you did not go up the mountain. He said,
6. ‘I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
7. There shall not be for you other gods besides me.
8. ‘You shall not make for yourself a divine image of any type of form that is in the heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.
9. ‘You shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, punishing the guilt of fathers upon their children and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those hating me,
10. but showing loyal love to thousands of those who love me and of those who keep my commandments.
11. ‘You shall not take up the name of Yahweh your God for a worthless purpose, for Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who uses his name for a worthless purpose.
12. ‘Observe the Sabbath day to make it holy, just as Yahweh your God has commanded you.
13. Six days you shall work, and you shall do all of your work,
14. but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto Yahweh your God; you shall not do any work, or your son, or your daughter, or your slave, or your slave woman, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your domestic animals, or your resident alien who is in your towns, so that your slave and your slave woman may rest as you rest.
