13 For six days you [a]shall labor and do all your work, 14 but (A)the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; you shall not do any work that day, you or your son or your daughter, or your male slave or your female slave, or your ox, your donkey, or any of your cattle, or your [b]resident who [c]stays with you, so that your male slave and your female slave may rest as well as you. 15 (B)And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to [d]celebrate the Sabbath day.
16 ‘(C)Honor your father and your mother, just as the Lord your God has commanded you, (D)so that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well for you on the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
17 ‘(E)You shall not murder.
18 ‘(F)You shall not commit adultery.

Moses Interceded
22 “These words the Lord spoke to your whole assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire, from the cloud, and from the thick darkness, with a great voice, and He added nothing more. (J)He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. 23 And when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you approached me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders. 24 You said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; we have seen today that God speaks with mankind, yet he lives. 25 (K)Now then, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, then we will die! 26 For (L)who is there of [e]humanity who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 27 [f]Go near and listen to everything that the Lord our God says; then speak to us everything that the Lord our God speaks to you, and we will listen and do it.’
28 “Now the Lord heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, (M)and the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. 29 (N)If only they had such a heart in them, to fear Me and (O)keep all My commandments always, so that (P)it would go well with them and with their sons forever! 30 Go, say to them, “Return to your tents.” 31 (Q)But as for you, stand here by Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which you shall teach them, so that they may [g]follow them in the land which I am giving them to possess.’ 32 So you shall be careful to do just as the Lord your God has commanded you; (R)you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left. 33 (S)You shall walk [h]entirely in the way which the Lord your God has commanded you, (T)so that you may live and that it may be well for you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.

Deuteronomy 5:13-33
New International Version
13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day(A) 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 male or female servant,(B) nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.(C) 15 Remember that you were slaves(D) in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand(E) and an outstretched arm.(F) Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
16 “Honor your father(G) and your mother,(H) as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long(I) and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
17 “You shall not murder.(J)
18 “You shall not commit adultery.(K)
19 “You shall not steal.(L)
20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.(M)
21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”(N)
22 These are the commandments the Lord proclaimed in a loud voice to your whole assembly there on the mountain from out of the fire, the cloud and the deep darkness;(O) and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets(P) and gave them to me.
23 When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders(Q) came to me. 24 And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us(R) his glory and his majesty,(S) and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.(T) 25 But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer.(U) 26 For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?(V) 27 Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says.(W) Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”(X)
28 The Lord heard you when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good.(Y) 29 Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me(Z) and keep all my commands(AA) always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!(AB)
30 “Go, tell them to return to their tents. 31 But you stay here(AC) with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess.”
32 So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you;(AD) do not turn aside to the right or to the left.(AE) 33 Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you,(AF) so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days(AG) in the land that you will possess.
