³“You shall have no other gods before^[a] me.^(A)

⁴“You shall not make for yourself an image^(B) in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. ⁵You shall not bow down to them or worship^(C) them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,^(D) punishing the children for the sin of the parents^(E) to the third and fourth generation^(F) of those who hate me, ⁶but showing love to a thousand^(G) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. ¹¹For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,^(L) the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested^(M) on the seventh day.^(N) Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
