THE BOOKE OF EXODVS

IN HEBREW VEELLE SEMOTH



1. ANᴅ our Lord spake al these wordes: 2. I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the Land of Ægypt, out of the house of seruitude. 3. Thou shalt not haue strange goddes before me. 4. Thou shalt not make to thee a grauen thing, nor any similitude that is in heauen aboue, & that is in the earth beneth, neither of those thinges that are in the waters vnder the earth. 5. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serue them: I am the Lord thy God mightie, ielous, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vpon the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: 6. and doing mercie vpon thousandes to them that loue me, and keepe my preceptes. 7. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vaine. for the Lord wil not hold him innocent that shal take the name of the Lord his God vainly. 8. Remember that thou sanctifie the sabbath day. 9. Six dayes shalt thou worke, and shalt doe al thy workes. 10. But on the seuenth day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt doe no worke in it, thou and thy sonne, and thy daughter, thy man seruant, and thy woman seruant, thy beast, and the stranger that is with in thy gates. 11. For six dayes the Lord made heauen and earth, and the sea, and al thinges that are in in them, and rested in the seuenth day, therfore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and sanctified it. 12. Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayst be long liude vpon the earth, which the Lord thy God wil geue thee. 13. Thou shalt not murder. 14. Thou shalt not committe aduoutrie. 15. Thou shalt not steale. 16. Thou shalt not speake against thy neighbour false testimonie. 17. Thou shalt not couet thy neigbours house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor seruant, nor handmaide, nor oxe, nor asse, nor any thing that is his. 18. And al the people saw the voices and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking: and being frighted and stroken with feare they stoode a farre of 19. saying to Moyses: Speake thou to vs, and we wil heare: let not our Lord speake to vs, lest perhappes we die. 20. And Moyses said to the people: Feare not: for God came to proue you, and that his terrour might be in you, and you should not sinne. 21. And the people stoode a farre of. But Moyses went vnto the darke cloud wherein God was. 22. Our Lord said moreouer to Moyses: This shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You haue seene that from heauen I haue spoken to you. 23. You shal not make goddes of siluer, nor goddes of gold shal you make to you. 24. An Altar of earth you shal make to me, and you shal offer vpon it your holocastes and pacifiques, your sheepe and oxen in euerie place where the memorie of my name shal be: I wil come to thee, and wil blesse thee. 25. And if thou make an Altar of stone vnto me, thou shalt not build it of hewed stones: for if thou lift vp thy knife ouer it, it shal be polluted. 26. Thou shalt not goe vp by griefes vnto myne Altar, lest thy turpitude be discouered.
