The Lord said to Moses, &#8220;Go down, warn the people not to break through to the Lord to gaze, lest many of them perish. The priests also, who come near the Lord, must stay pure, lest the Lord break out against them.&#8221; But Moses said to the Lord, &#8220;The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for You warned us saying, &#8216;Set bounds about the mountain and sanctify it.'&#8221; So the Lord said to him, &#8220;Go down, and come back together with Aaron; but let not the priests or the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest He break out against them.&#8221; And Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.<br \/>\nGod spoke all these words, saying: I the Lord am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage: You shall have no other gods besides Me.<br \/>\nYou shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord your God am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not swear falsely by the name of the Lord your God; for the Lord will not clear one who swears falsely by His name. Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall not do any work&#8211;you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.<br \/>\nHonor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that the Lord your God is assigning to you.<br \/>\nYou shall not murder.<br \/>\nYou shall not commit adultery.<br \/>\nYou shall not steal.<br \/>\nYou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.<br \/>\nYou shall not covet your neighbor&#8217;s house: you shall not covet your neighbor&#8217;s wife, or his male or female slave, or his ox or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor&#8217;s.<br \/>\n<em>From Parshat Yitro.
