"Bible · Exodus" (Protestant Union Version) 20:2-17:

I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage (v. 2).

The first commandment thou shalt have no other gods before me. (3 sections)

The second commandment is not to make idols for yourself, nor to make images like the things that are in heaven and earth, and things under the earth and water. Do not bow down to those images; do not serve them, for I am the LORD your God, a jealous God. I will punish those who hate me, from fathers to sons, to the third and fourth generations; and to those who love me and keep my commandments, I will show mercy to a thousand generations. (verses 4-6)

The third commandment shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him innocent who takes the name of the LORD in vain. (verse 7)

Fourth Commandment: Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On this day you shall do no work, neither your sons and daughters, your servants, your servants, your livestock, nor your strangers in your cities; for in six days the LORD made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; It rests in seven days, so the LORD blessed the Sabbath and made it holy. (verses 8-11)

Fifth Commandment Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. (12 verses)

The sixth commandment is not to kill. (verse 13)

The seventh commandment is not to commit adultery. (verse 14)

The eighth commandment is not to steal. (verse 15)

The ninth commandment is not to bear false witness against others. (verse 16)

The tenth commandment is not to covet a man's house, nor to covet his wife, his servants, his ox and his donkey, and all that he has. (verse 17)

The Ten Commandments quotes

  • [Opening line and sentences as movie started]

    Narrator: And God said Let there be light, and there was light. And from this light, God created life upon earth. And man was given diminion over all things upon this earth and the power to choose betweem good and evil. But each sought to do his own will because he knew not the light of God's law. Man took dominion over man, the conquered were made to serve the conqueror, the weak were made to serve the strong, and freedom was gone from this world. So did the Egyptians cause the children of Israel to serve with rigor, and their lives were made bitter with hard bondage. And their cry came up unto God. And God heard them and cast into Egypt, into the lowly hut of Amram and Yochabel, the seed of a man upon whose mind and heart would be written God's law and God's commandments, one man alone against an empire.

    Moses: You gave me this staff to rule over scorpions and serpents, but God made it a rod to rule over kings. Hear His word, Rameses, and obey.

    Rameses: Obey? Moses, Moses. Are there no magicians in Egypt, that you have come back to make serpents out of sticks or cause rabbits to appear?
