SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:1

The Commandments Of The First Table

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:2

  2    I am YAHWEH your ABBA, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:3

  3    You shall have no other gods before me.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:4

  4    You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:5

  5    You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I YAHWEH your ABBA am a jealous Almighty One, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:6

  6    And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:7

  7    You shall not take the name of YAHWEH your ABBA in vain; for YAHWEH will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:8

  8    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:9

  9    Six days shall you labour, and do all your work:

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:10

  10    But the seventh day is the sabbath of YAHWEH your ABBA: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates:

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:11

  11    For in six days YAHWEH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YAHWEH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Of The Second Table

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:12

  12     ?  Honour your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which YAHWEH your ABBA gives you.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:17

  17    You shall not covet your neighbour's house, you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbour's.

The Fear Of The People

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:18

  18     ?  And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the shofar, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:19

  19    And they said to Mosheh, Speak you with us, and we will hear: but let not YAHWEH speak with us, lest we die.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:20

  20    And Mosheh said to the people, Fear not: for YAHWEH is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that you sin not.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:21

  21    And the people stood afar off, and Mosheh drew near unto the thick darkness where YAHWEH was.

Idolatry Again Forbidden

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:22

  22     ?  And YAHWEH said to Mosheh, Thus you shall say unto the children of Yisrael, You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:23

  23    You shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall you make unto you gods of gold.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:24

  24    An altar of earth you shall make unto me, and shall sacrifice thereon your burnt offerings, and your shalom offerings, your sheep, and your oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto you, and I will bless you.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:25

  25    And if you will make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone: for if you lift up your tool upon it, you have polluted it.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 20:26

  26    Neither shall you go up by steps unto mine altar, that your nakedness be not discovered thereon.
