“The Ten Commandments”
… Hear, O Israel, the decrees and the ordinances that I speak in your ears today; learn them, and be careful to perform them.
5:1
Face to face did Hashem speak with you on the mountain, from amid the fire.
:4
I am Hashem, you God, Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
:6
You shall not recognize the gods of others in My Presence.
:7
You shall not make yourself a carved image of any likeness of that which is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the water beneath the earth.
:8
You shall not prostrate yourself to them nor worship them, for I am Hashem, your God – a jealous God, Who visits the sin of fathers upon children to the third and fourth generations, for My enemies;
:9
but Who shows kindness for thousands [of generations], to those who love Me and observe My commandments.
:10
You shall not take the Name of Hashem, your God, in vain, for Hashem will not absolve anyone who takes His Name in vain.
:11
Safeguard the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as Hashem, your God, has commanded you.
:12
but on the seventh day is Sabbath to Hashem, your God; you shall not do any work – you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maidservant, your ox, your donkey, and your every animal, and your convert within your gates, in order that your slave and your maidservant may rest like you.
:14
… therefore Hashem, your God, has commanded you to make the Sabbath day.
:15
Honor your father and your mother, as Hashem, your God, commanded you, …
:16
You shall not kill; and you shall not commit adultery; and you shall not steal; and you shall not bear vain witness against your fellow.
:17
And you shall not covet your fellow’s wife, you shall not desire your fellow’s house, his field, his slave, his maidservant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your fellow.
:18
These words Hashem spoke to your entire congregation on the mountain, from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick cloud – a great voice, never to be repeated – and He inscribed them on two stone Tablets and gave them to me.
:19
You said, “Behold! Hashem, our God, has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; this day we saw that Hashem will speak to a person and he can live.
:21
Who can assure that this heart should remain theirs, to fear Me and observe all My commandments all the days, so that it should be good for them and for their children forever?
:26
You shall be careful to act as Hashem, your God, commanded you, you shall not stray to the right or left.
:29
On the entire way that Hashem, your God, commanded you shall you go, …
:30
1 And Moses called all Israel and said to them, “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, and learn them, and observe [them] to do them.
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Not with our forefathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, we, all of whom are here alive today.
4 Face to face, the Lord spoke with you at the mountain out of the midst of the fire:
5 (and I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to tell you the word of the Lord, for you were afraid of the fire, and you did not go up on the mountain) saying,
6 “I am the Lord your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 You shall not have the gods of others in My presence.
8 You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness which is in the heavens above, which is on the earth below, or which is in the water beneath the earth.
9 You shall not prostrate yourself before them, nor worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a zealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me.
10 And [I] perform loving kindness to thousands [of generations] of those who love Me and to those who keep My commandments.
11 You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain, for the Lord will not hold blameless anyone who takes His name in vain.
12 Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God commanded you.
13 Six days may you work, and perform all your labor,
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall perform no labor, neither you, your son, your daughter, your manservant, your maidservant, your ox, your donkey, any of your livestock, nor the stranger who is within your cities, in order that your manservant and your maidservant may rest like you.
15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out from there with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore, the Lord, your God, commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
16 Honor your father and your mother as the Lord your God commanded you, in order that your days be lengthened, and that it may go well with you on the land that the Lord, your God, is giving you.
17 You shall not murder. And you shall not commit adultery. And you shall not steal. And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
18 And you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his manservant, his maidservant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
19 The Lord spoke these words to your entire assembly at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the opaque darkness, with a great voice, which did not cease. And He inscribed them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.
20 And it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and the mountain was burning with fire, that you approached me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.
21 And you said, “Behold, the Lord, our God, has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we heard His voice from the midst of the fire; we saw this day that God speaks with man, yet [man] remains alive.
22 So now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we continue to hear the voice of the Lord, our God, anymore, we will die.
23 For who is there of all flesh, who heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
24 You approach, and hear all that the Lord, our God, will say, and you speak to us all that the Lord, our God, will speak to you, and we will hear and do.
25 And the Lord heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard the sound of the words of this people that they have spoken to you; they have done well in all that they have spoken.
26 Would that their hearts be like this, to fear Me and to keep all My commandments all the days, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
27 Go say to them, ‘Return to your tents.’
28 But as for you, stand here with Me, and I will speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which you will teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.
29 Keep them to perform [them] as the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside either to the right or to the left.
30 In all the way which the Lord, your God, has commanded you, you shall go, in order that you may live and that it may be well with you, and so that you may prolong your days in the land you will possess.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
