and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of
all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that
yego notup into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be
surely put to death:
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be
beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they
washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at yourwives.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings,
and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the
people that wasin the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the
nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and
the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake,
and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called
Moses upto the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the
LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD
break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst
us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron
with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he
break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I amthe LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thingthat isin heaven
above, or that isin the earth beneath, or that isin the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God ama jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generationof
them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day isthe sabbath of the LORD thy God: in itthou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that iswithin thy gates:

11 For insix days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested
the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that isthy neighbour's.
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and
the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with
us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear
may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen
that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings,
and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will
come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou
lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered
thereon.
1 Now these arethe judgments which thou shalt set before them.
2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free
for nothing.
3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall
go out with him.
4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and
her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go
out free:
6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto
the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for
ever.
7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants
do.
8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be
redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt
deceitfully with her.
9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of
daughters.
10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not
diminish.
11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver himinto his hand; then I will appoint thee a
place whither he shall flee.
14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt
take him from mine altar, that he may die.
15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be
put to death.
17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
18 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with hisfist, and he die
not, but keepeth hisbed:
19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote himbe quit: only he
shall pay forthe loss of his time, and shall cause himto be thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall
be surely punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he ishis money.
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no
mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon
him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if anymischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let
him go free for his eye's sake.
27 And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go
free for his tooth's sake.
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his
flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall bequit.
29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his
owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be
stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life
whatsoever is laid upon him.
31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be
done unto him.
32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty
shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass
fall therein;
34 The owner of the pit shall make itgood, andgive money unto the owner of them; and the
dead beastshall be his.
35 And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide
the money of it; and the dead oxalso they shall divide.
36 Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him
in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an
ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shallno blood be shedfor
him.
