          DASV: Deuteronomy 5    

1 Then Moses called all Israel together and said,
'Listen, Israel, to the statutes and regulations that
I declaring to you today, so that you may learn and do them.
2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 The LORD did not make this covenant with our forefathers,
but with all of us who are alive here today.
4 The LORD spoke with you face to face in the mount out of
the fire.
5 At that time I stood between you and the LORD, to declare
to you the word of the LORD because you were afraid of
the fire, and did not go up the mountain. He said,
6 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7 You must not have any other gods before me.
8 You must not make any carved idol in the form of anything
in the heavens above or in the earth below, or that is in
the water beneath.
9 You must not bow down to them, or serve them; for I,
the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the sin
of the fathers on the children, to the third and fourth
generation of those who hate me;
10 and showing steadfast love to thousands of those who
love me and keep my commandments.
11 You must not misuse the name of the LORD your God for
the LORD will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
12 Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, just as
the LORD your God commanded you.
13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work;
14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath to the LORD your God.
On that day you shall not do any work, you, or your son,
or your daughter, or your male or female servant,
or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your livestock,
or any foreigner who lives within your gates; that your
male and female servants may rest as well as you do.
15 Remember that you were slaves 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 keep the Sabbath day.
16 Honor your father and mother, as the LORD your God
commanded you, so that your days may be long and that
it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God
is giving you.
17 You must not murder.
18 You must not commit adultery.
19 You must not steal.
20 You must not testify falsely against your neighbor.
21 You must not covet your neighbor's wife,
or crave your neighbor's house, his field,
or his male or female servant, his ox, his donkey
or anything that is your neighbor's.'"

22 These words the LORD proclaimed with a loud
voice to your whole assembly at the mountain out of
the fire, the cloud and the thick darkness and he
added no more. He wrote them on two stone tables,
and gave them to me.
23 When you heard the voice from the midst of the
darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire,
all the leaders of your tribes and your elders came
to me.
24 You said, 'Look, the LORD our God has shown us his
glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice
out of the midst of the fire. We have seen this day
God speak with a human being, and yet the person lives.
25 So now why should we die? For this great fire will
consume us! If we hear the voice of the LORD our God
any more, then we will die.
26 For who is there from all living beings who has heard
the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst
of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 You go near and hear all that the LORD our God
will say. Then you tell us all that the LORD our God
says to you and we will listen and do it.'
28 The LORD heard your request, when you spoke to me
and the LORD said to me, 'I have heard the words this
people have spoken to you and they are right in what
they have said.
29 Oh that they would always have such a heart as this,
to fear me and keep all my commands so that it might
go well with them and their children forever!
30 Go tell them, "Return to your tents."
31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell
you all the commands, statutes and regulations,
you are to teach them, so that they may do them in
the land I am giving them to possess.'
32 Be careful, therefore, to do what the LORD your
God has commanded you. Do not turn aside to the right
or to left.
33 Walk in all the way the LORD your God has commanded
you, so that you may live, and that it may go well
with you, and that you may live long in the land you
are about to possess.
