Deuteronomy 5:12-25

Deuteronomy 5:12-25

[12] Keep  the sabbath  day  to sanctify  it, as the LORD  thy God  hath commanded  [13] Six  days  thou shalt labour,  and do  all thy work:  [14] But the seventh  day  is the sabbath  of the LORD  thy God:  in it thou shalt not do  any work,  thou, nor thy son,  nor thy daughter,  nor thy manservant,  nor thy maidservant,  nor thine ox,  nor thine ass,  nor any of thy cattle,  nor thy stranger  that is within thy gates;  that thy manservant  and thy maidservant  may rest  [15] And remember  that thou wast a servant  in the land  of Egypt,  and that the LORD  thy God  brought  thee out thence through a mighty  hand  and by a stretched out  arm:  therefore the LORD  thy God  commanded  thee to keep  the sabbath  day.  [16] Honour  thy father  and thy mother,  as the LORD  thy God  hath commanded  thee; that thy days  may be prolonged,  and that it may go well  with thee, in the land  which the LORD  thy God  giveth  thee. [17] Thou shalt not kill.  [18] Neither shalt thou commit adultery.  [19] Neither shalt thou steal.  [20] Neither shalt thou bear  false  witness  against thy neighbour.  [21] Neither shalt thou desire  thy neighbour's  wife,  neither shalt thou covet  thy neighbour's  house,  his field,  or his manservant,  or his maidservant,  his ox,  or his ass,  or any thing that is thy neighbour's.  [22] These words  the LORD  spake  unto all your assembly  in the mount  out of the midst  of the fire,  of the cloud,  and of the thick darkness,  with a great  voice:  and he added no more.  And he wrote  them in two  tables  of stone,  and delivered  [23] And it came to pass, when ye heard  the voice  out of the midst  of the darkness,  (for the mountain  did burn  with fire,)  that ye came near  unto me, even all the heads  of your tribes,  and your elders;  [24] And ye said,  Behold, the LORD  our God  hath shewed  us his glory  and his greatness,  and we have heard  his voice  out of the midst  of the fire:  we have seen  this day  that God  doth talk  with man,  and he liveth.  [25] Now therefore why should we die?  for this great  fire  will consume  us: if we hear  the voice  of the LORD  our God  any more,  then we shall die.
