- Kapitel 5 -

1
Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them:(a) Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully.
2
The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.(b)
3
He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.
4
The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.

The Ten Commandments

(Exodus 20:1–17)
5
At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:
6
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7
You shall have no other gods before Me.(c)
8
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.
9
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
10
but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations (d) of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
11
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.
12
Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
13
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
14
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.
15
Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16
Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.(e)
17
You shall not murder.(f)
18
You shall not commit adultery.(g)
19
You shall not steal.(h)
20
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.(i)
21
You shall not covet (j) your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Moses Intercedes for the People

(Exodus 20:18–21; Hebrews 12:18–29)
22
The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
23
And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,
24
and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.
25
But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.
26
For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?
27
Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”
28
And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.
29
If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.
30
Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’
31
But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”
32
So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left.
33
You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

8
You shall not make a carved image for yourselfany likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

15
You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

Moses Intercedes for the People

(Exodus 20:18–21; Hebrews 12:18–29)
22
The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
23
When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24
and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25
Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
26
For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27
Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
28
The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
29
Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
30
Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
31
But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
32
You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.
33
You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
