Exodus 20:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ “You must not want to take your neighbor’s house. You must not want his wife or his men or women slaves. You must not want his ox or his donkey. You must not want to take anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

¹⁸ The people heard the thunder and the trumpet. They saw the lightning on the mountain and smoke rising from the mountain. They shook with fear and stood far away from the mountain. ¹⁹ Then they said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself. Then we will listen. But don’t let God speak to us, or we will die.”
