Deuteronomy 5:3-15 World English Bible (WEB)

3. Yahweh didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.

4. Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,

5. (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you Yahweh’s word: for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain;) saying,

6. “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

7. “You shall have no other gods before me.

8. “You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

9. You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them; for I, Yahweh, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me;

10. and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

11. “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

12. “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.

13. You shall labor six days, and do all your work;

14. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

15. You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
