Deuteronomy 5:1-11

New International Version

The Ten Commandments^(A)

5 Moses summoned all Israel and said:

Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws^(B) I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. ²The Lord our God made a covenant^(C) with us at Horeb.^(D) ³It was not with our ancestors^[a] that the Lord made this covenant, but with us,^(E) with all of us who are alive here today.^(F) ⁴The Lord spoke^(G) to you face to face^(H) out of the fire^(I) on the mountain. ⁵(At that time I stood between^(J) the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid^(K) of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:

⁶“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt,^(L) out of the land of slavery.^(M)

⁷“You shall have no other gods before^[b] me.

⁸“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.^(N) ⁹You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents^(O) to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,^(P) ¹⁰but showing love to a thousand^(Q) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.^(R)
