Exodus 20:5–11

5

you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

6

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7

“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.

Selected verse

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9

You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

10

but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

11

for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
