Exodus 20:8-21 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

8. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9. You shall labour six days, and do all your work,

10. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

11. for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

12. “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

13. “You shall not murder.

14. “You shall not commit adultery.

15. “You shall not steal.

16. “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.

17. “You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.”

18. All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.

19. They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”

20. Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

21. The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.
