Moses led the Israelites forward from the Red sea until they came to the wilderness of Sinai, and there the Israelites camped before the mountain.
Moses went up into the presence of God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, "Tell the Israelites: 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will listen to my voice and keep your solemn agreement with me, you shall be my own treasure taken from among all peoples, for all the earth is mine. You shall be a nation of priests, a people devoted to my service.'"
So Moses called together the leaders of the people and told them all these words, as the LORD had commanded him. And all the people answered together, "We will do all that the LORD has commanded."
When Moses told the LORD the answer of the people, the LORD said to him, "See, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak and may always believe in you." And the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and keep them pure to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments and be ready on the third day, for on the third day I will come down on Mount Sinai within sight of all the people."
On the third day, when morning came, there were thunderings and lightnings and a thick cloud rested upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast sounded, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Mount Sinai was entirely covered with smoke, because the LORD came down upon it in fire. And from it smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the entire mountain shook violently.
Then God spoke all these words: "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from a place where you were slaves.
"Thou Shalt Have no other Gods except Me.
"Thou Shalt Not Make for Thyself a graven Image, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, on the earth beneath, or in the waters that are under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down before them, nor serve them, for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation, but showing acts of kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commands.
"Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of the LORD Thy God in Vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes his name in vain.
"Remember the sabbath Day to Keep It Holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work, neither thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy male servant, nor thy female servant, nor thy cattle, nor the guest who is with thee, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
"Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother, that thou mayest live long on the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
"Thou Shalt Not Murder.
"Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery.
"Thou Shalt Not Steal.
"Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor.
"Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's House; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that belongs to thy neighbor."
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in accord with these words I have made a solemn agreement with you and with Israel."
