sinai - the commandments
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
(TEN COMMANDMENTS, 2002)

I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You 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 fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
but showing love to a thousand [generations] of those who love me and keep my commandments.
(TEN COMMANDMENTS, New International Version, Exodus 20:1-17)

I am ADONAI your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the abode of slavery.
You are to have no other gods before me.
You are not to make for yourselves a carved image or any kind of representation of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the water below the shoreline. You are not to bow down to them or serve them; for I, ADONAI your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
but displaying grace to the thousandth generation of those who love me and obey my mitzvot.
(Complete Jewish Bible, Translation by David H. Stern, Exodus 20:1-17)

I am YHWH your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from a house of serfs.
You are not to have any other gods before my presence.
You are not to make yourself a carved-image or any figure that is in the heavens above, that is on the earth beneath, that is in the waters beneath the earth; you are not to bow down to them, you are not to serve them, for I, YHWH your God, am a jealous God, calling-to-account the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and the fourth (generation) of those that hate me,
but showing loyalty to the thousandth of those that love me, of those that keep my commandments.
(Everett Fox Translation, Exodus 20:1-17)
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
(TEN COMMANDMENTS, 2002)

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
(TEN COMMANDMENTS, New International Version, Exodus 20:1-17)

You are not to use lightly the name of ADONAI your God, because ADONAI will not leave unpunished someone who uses his name lightly.
(Complete Jewish Bible, Translation by David H. Stern, Exodus 20:1-17)

You are not to take up the name of YHWH your God for emptiness, for YHWH will not clear him that takes up his name for emptiness.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
(TEN COMMANDMENTS, New International Version, Exodus 20:1-17)

Remember the day Shabbat, to set it apart for God.
You have six days to labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Shabbat for ADONAI your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work-not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property.
For in six days, ADONAI made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. This is why ADONAI blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for himself.
(Complete Jewish Bible, Translation by David H. Stern, Exodus 20:1-17)

Remember the Sabbath day, to hallow it.
For six days, you are to serve, and are to make all your work, but the seventh day is Sabbath for YHWH your God: you are not to make any kind of work, (not) you, nor your son, nor your daughter, (not) your servant, nor your maid, nor your beast, nor your sojourner that is within your gates.
For in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in it, and he rested on the seventh day; therefore YHWH gave the seventh day his blessing, and he hallowed it.
(Everett Fox Translation, Exodus 20:1-17)
