Deuteronomy
The Ten Commandments are restated in Deuteronomy 5:6–21. The passage begins with the LORD bringing Israel out of Egypt Deuteronomy 5:6. It includes commands about worship, Sabbath, parents, and neighbor relationships Deuteronomy 5:7–21.
6"I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7You shall have no other gods before me.
8"You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, [nor] 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:
9you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, Yahweh, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me;
10and showing lovingkindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11"You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
12"Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13Six days shall you labor, and do all your work;
14but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God: [in it] you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest as well as you.
15You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16"Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
17"You shall not murder.
18"Neither shall you commit adultery.
19"Neither shall you steal.
20"Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor.
21"Neither shall you covet your neighbor`s wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor`s house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor`s."
