Exodus 19:1--20:26

In the third
<07992>
month
<02320>_,
when the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
were gone forth
<03318> (8800)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
the same day
<03117>
came
<0935> (8804)
they [into] the wilderness
<04057>
of Sinai
<05514>_.
For they were departed
<05265> (8799)
from Rephidim
<07508>_,
and were come
<0935> (8799)
[to] the desert
<04057>
of Sinai
<05514>_,
and had pitched
<02583> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>_;
and there Israel
<03478>
camped
<02583> (8799)
before the mount
<02022>_.
And Moses
<04872>
went up
<05927> (8804)
unto God
<0430>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto him out of the mountain
<02022>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and tell
<05046> (8686)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
what I did
<06213> (8804)
unto the Egyptians
<04714>_,
and [how] I bare
<05375> (8799)
you on eagles
<05404>_'
wings
<03671>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
you unto myself.
Now therefore, if ye will obey
<08085> (8799)
my voice
<06963>
indeed
<08085> (8800)_,
and keep
<08104> (8804)
my covenant
<01285>_,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure
<05459>
unto me above all people
<05971>_:
for all the earth
<0776>
[is] mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom
<04467>
of priests
<03548>_,
and an holy
<06918>
nation
<01471>_.
These [are] the words
<01697>
which thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And Moses
<04872>
came
<0935> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
for the elders
<02205>
of the people
<05971>_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
before their faces
<06440>
all these words
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
him.
And all the people
<05971>
answered
<06030> (8799)
together
<03162>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
All that the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
we will do
<06213> (8799)_.
And Moses
<04872>
returned
<07725> (8686)
the words
<01697>
of the people
<05971>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
Lo, I come
<0935> (8802)
unto thee in a thick
<05645>
cloud
<06051>_,
that the people
<05971>
may hear
<08085> (8799)
when I speak
<01696> (8763)
with thee, and believe
<0539> (8686)
thee for ever
<05769>_.
And Moses
<04872>
told
<05046> (8686)
the words
<01697>
of the people
<05971>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
unto the people
<05971>_,
and sanctify
<06942> (8765)
them to day
<03117>
and to morrow
<04279>_,
and let them wash
<03526> (8765)
their clothes
<08071>_,
And be ready
<03559> (8737)
against the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_:
for the third
<07992>
day
<03117>
the LORD
<03068>
will come down
<03381> (8799)
in the sight
<05869>
of all the people
<05971>
upon mount
<02022>
Sinai
<05514>_.
And thou shalt set bounds
<01379> (8689)
unto the people
<05971>
round about
<05439>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take heed
<08104> (8734)
to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up
<05927> (8800)
into the mount
<02022>_,
or touch
<05060> (8800)
the border
<07097>
of it: whosoever toucheth
<05060> (8802)
the mount
<02022>
shall be surely
<04191> (8800)
put to death
<04191> (8714)_:
There shall not an hand
<03027>
touch
<05060> (8799)
it, but he shall surely
<05619> (8800)
be stoned
<05619> (8735)_,
or
<0176>
shot
<03384> (8735)
through
<03384> (8800)_;
whether [it be] beast
<0929>
or
<0518>
man
<0376>_,
it shall not live
<02421> (8799)_:
when the trumpet
<03104>
soundeth long
<04900> (8800)_,
they shall come up
<05927> (8799)
to the mount
<02022>_.
{trumpet: or, cornet}
And Moses
<04872>
went down
<03381> (8799)
from the mount
<02022>
unto the people
<05971>_,
and sanctified
<06942> (8762)
the people
<05971>_;
and they washed
<03526> (8762)
their clothes
<08071>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Be
<01961> (8798)
ready
<03559> (8737)
against the third
<07969>
day
<03117>_:
come
<05066> (8799)
not at [your] wives
<0802>_.
And it came to pass on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>
in the morning
<01242>_,
that there were thunders
<06963>
and lightnings
<01300>_,
and a thick
<03515>
cloud
<06051>
upon the mount
<02022>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>
exceeding
<03966>
loud
<02389>_;
so that all the people
<05971>
that [was] in the camp
<04264>
trembled
<02729> (8799)_.
And Moses
<04872>
brought forth
<03318> (8686)
the people
<05971>
out of the camp
<04264>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
with God
<0430>_;
and they stood
<03320> (8691)
at the nether
<08482>
part of the mount
<02022>_.
And mount
<02022>
Sinai
<05514>
was altogether on a smoke
<06225> (8804)_,
because
<06440> <0834>
the LORD
<03068>
descended
<03381> (8804)
upon it in fire
<0784>_:
and the smoke
<06227>
thereof ascended
<05927> (8799)
as the smoke
<06227>
of a furnace
<03536>_,
and the whole mount
<02022>
quaked
<02729> (8799)
greatly
<03966>_.
And when the voice
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>
sounded
<06963>
long
<01980> (8802)_,
and waxed louder
<02390>
and louder
<03966>_,
Moses
<04872>
spake
<01696> (8762)_,
and God
<0430>
answered
<06030> (8799)
him by a voice
<06963>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
came down
<03381> (8799)
upon mount
<02022>
Sinai
<05514>_,
on the top
<07218>
of the mount
<02022>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8799)
Moses
<04872>
[up] to
<0413>
the top
<07218>
of the mount
<02022>_;
and Moses
<04872>
went up
<05927> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
Go down
<03381> (8798)_,
charge
<05749> (8685)
the people
<05971>_,
lest they break through
<02040> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
to gaze
<07200> (8800)_,
and many
<07227>
of them perish
<05307> (8804)_.
{charge: Heb. contest}
And let the priests
<03548>
also, which come near
<05066> (8737)
to the LORD
<03068>_,
sanctify
<06942> (8691)
themselves, lest the LORD
<03068>
break forth
<06555> (8799)
upon them.
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
The people
<05971>
cannot
<03201> (8799)
come up
<05927> (8800)
to mount
<02022>
Sinai
<05514>_:
for thou chargedst
<05749> (8689)
us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Set bounds
<01379> (8685)
about the mount
<02022>_,
and sanctify
<06942> (8765)
it.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Away
<03212> (8798)_,
get thee down
<03381> (8798)_,
and thou shalt come up
<05927> (8804)_,
thou, and Aaron
<0175>
with thee: but let not the priests
<03548>
and the people
<05971>
break through
<02040> (8799)
to come up
<05927> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
lest he break forth
<06555> (8799)
upon them.
So Moses
<04872>
went down
<03381> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
unto them.
And God
<0430>
spake
<01696> (8762)
all these words
<01697>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
which have brought
<03318> (8689)
thee out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
out of the house
<01004>
of bondage
<05650>_.
{bondage: Heb. servants}
Thou shalt have no other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
before me
<06440>_.
Thou shalt not make
<06213> (8799)
unto thee any graven image
<06459>_,
or any likeness
<08544>
[of any thing] that
<0834>
[is] in heaven
<08064>
above
<04605>_,
or that [is] in the earth
<0776>
beneath, or that [is] in the water
<04325>
under the earth
<0776>_:
Thou shalt not bow down
<07812> (8691)
thyself to them, nor serve
<05647> (8714)
them: for I the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
[am] a jealous
<07067>
God
<0410>_,
visiting
<06485> (8802)
the iniquity
<05771>
of the fathers
<01>
upon the children
<01121>
unto the third
<08029>
and fourth
<07256>
[generation] of them that hate
<08130> (8802)
me;
And shewing
<06213> (8802)
mercy
<02617>
unto thousands
<0505>
of them that love
<0157> (8802)
me, and keep
<08104> (8802)
my commandments
<04687>_.
Thou shalt not take
<05375> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
in vain
<07723>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
will not hold him guiltless
<05352> (8762)
that taketh
<05375> (8799)
his name
<08034>
in vain
<07723>_.
Remember
<02142> (8800)
the sabbath
<07676>
day
<03117>_,
to keep it holy
<06942> (8763)_.
Six
<08337>
days
<03117>
shalt thou labour
<05647> (8799)_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
all thy work
<04399>_:
But the seventh
<07637>
day
<03117>
[is] the sabbath
<07676>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_:
[in it] thou shalt not do
<06213> (8799)
any work
<04399>_,
thou, nor thy son
<01121>_,
nor thy daughter
<01323>_,
thy manservant
<05650>_,
nor thy maidservant
<0519>_,
nor thy cattle
<0929>_,
nor thy stranger
<01616>
that [is] within thy gates
<08179>_:
For [in] six
<08337>
days
<03117>
the LORD
<03068>
made
<06213> (8804)
heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_,
the sea
<03220>_,
and all that in them [is], and rested
<05117> (8799)
the seventh
<07637>
day
<03117>_:
wherefore the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8765)
the sabbath
<07676>
day
<03117>_,
and hallowed
<06942> (8762)
it.
Honour
<03513> (8761)
thy father
<01>
and thy mother
<0517>_:
that thy days
<03117>
may be long
<0748> (8686)
upon the land
<0127>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee.
Thou shalt not kill
<07523> (8799)_.
Thou shalt not commit adultery
<05003> (8799)_.
Thou shalt not steal
<01589> (8799)_.
Thou shalt not bear
<06030> (8799)
false
<08267>
witness
<05707>
against thy neighbour
<07453>_.
Thou shalt not covet
<02530> (8799)
thy neighbour's
<07453>
house
<01004>_,
thou shalt not covet
<02530> (8799)
thy neighbour's
<07453>
wife
<0802>_,
nor his manservant
<05650>_,
nor his maidservant
<0519>_,
nor his ox
<07794>_,
nor his ass
<02543>_,
nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's
<07453>_.
And all the people
<05971>
saw
<07200> (8802)
the thunderings
<06963>_,
and the lightnings
<03940>_,
and the noise
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_,
and the mountain
<02022>
smoking
<06226>_:
and when the people
<05971>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[it], they removed
<05128> (8799)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
afar off
<07350>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
Speak
<01696> (8761)
thou with us, and we will hear
<08085> (8799)_:
but let not God
<0430>
speak
<01696> (8762)
with us, lest we die
<04191> (8799)_.
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for God
<0430>
is come
<0935> (8804)
to
<05668>
prove
<05254> (8763)
you, and that his fear
<03374>
may be before your faces
<06440>_,
that ye sin
<02398> (8799)
not.
And the people
<05971>
stood
<05975> (8799)
afar off
<07350>_,
and Moses
<04872>
drew near
<05066> (8738)
unto the thick darkness
<06205>
where God
<0430>
[was].
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
Thus thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
that I have talked
<01696> (8765)
with you from heaven
<08064>_.
Ye shall not make
<06213> (8799)
with me gods
<0430>
of silver
<03701>_,
neither shall ye make
<06213> (8799)
unto you gods
<0430>
of gold
<02091>_.
An altar
<04196>
of earth
<0127>
thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)
unto me, and shalt sacrifice
<02076> (8804)
thereon thy burnt offerings
<05930>_,
and thy peace offerings
<08002>_,
thy sheep
<06629>_,
and thine oxen
<01241>_:
in all places
<04725>
where I record
<02142> (8686)
my name
<08034>
I will come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee, and I will bless
<01288> (8765)
thee.
And if thou wilt make
<06213> (8799)
me an altar
<04196>
of stone
<068>_,
thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)
it of hewn stone
<01496>_:
for if thou lift up
<05130> (8689)
thy tool
<02719>
upon it, thou hast polluted
<02490> (8762)
it. {build...: Heb. build them with hewing}
Neither shalt thou go up
<05927> (8799)
by steps
<04609>
unto mine altar
<04196>_,
that thy nakedness
<06172>
be not discovered
<01540> (8735)
thereon.
