Exodus 20:10-26
New American Standard Bible 1995
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it (A)you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who [a]stays with you. 11 (B)For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “(C)Honor your father and your mother, that your (D)days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
13 “(E)You shall not murder.
14 “(F)You shall not commit adultery.
15 “(G)You shall not steal.
16 “(H)You shall not bear false witness against your (I)neighbor.
17 “(J)You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; (K)you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
18 (L)All the people perceived the [b]thunder and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance. 19 (M)Then they said to Moses, “Speak [c]to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak [d]to us, or we will die.” 20 Moses said to the people, “(N)Do not be afraid; for God has come in order (O)to test you, and in order that (P)the fear of Him may [e]remain with you, so that you may not sin.” 21 So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached (Q)the thick cloud where God was.
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘You yourselves have seen that (R)I have spoken [f]to you from heaven. 23 (S)You shall not make other gods besides Me; (T)gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves. 24 You shall make (U)an altar of earth for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your (V)burnt offerings and your (W)peace offerings, (X)your sheep and your oxen; in every place (Y)where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you. 25 If you make an altar of stone for Me, (Z)you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane it. 26 And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, so that (AA)your nakedness will not be exposed on it.’

Exodus 20:10-26
New International Version
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath(A) to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,(B) the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested(C) on the seventh day.(D) Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “Honor your father and your mother,(E) so that you may live long(F) in the land(G) the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.(H)
14 “You shall not commit adultery.(I)
15 “You shall not steal.(J)
16 “You shall not give false testimony(K) against your neighbor.(L)
17 “You shall not covet(M) your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet(N) and saw the mountain in smoke,(O) they trembled with fear.(P) They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak(Q) to us or we will die.”(R)
20 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid.(S) God has come to test(T) you, so that the fear(U) of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”(V)
21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness(W) where God was.
Idols and Altars
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven:(X) 23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me;(Y) do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.(Z)
24 “‘Make an altar(AA) of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings(AB) and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name(AC) to be honored, I will come to you and bless(AD) you. 25 If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool(AE) on it. 26 And do not go up to my altar on steps, or your private parts(AF) may be exposed.’
