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

13. `Thou dost not murder.

14. `Thou dost not commit adultery.

15. `Thou dost not steal.

16. `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.

17. `Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which [is] thy neighbour's.'

18. And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,

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

20. 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.'

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

22. 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;

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

24. `An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burntofferings 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.

25. `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;

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