17 Yithro – Day 6
Sh’moth 19:20-20:17
And YHWH came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And YHWH called Mosheh to the top of the mountain, and Mosheh went up.
And YHWH said to Mosheh, “Go down, and warn the people, lest they break through unto YHWH to see, and many of them fall.
“And let the kohenim who come near YHWH set themselves apart too, lest YHWH break out against them.”
And Mosheh said to YHWH, “The people are not able to come up to Mount Sinai, for You warned us, saying, ‘Make a border around the mountain and set it apart.’”
And YHWH said to him, “Come, go down and then come up, you and Aharon with you. But do not let the kohenim and the people break through to come up to YHWH, lest He break out against them.”
And Mosheh went down to the people and spoke to them.
And Elohim spoke all these Words, saying, “I am YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery.
“You have no other mighty ones against My face.
“You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, YHWH your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.
“You do not bring the Name of YHWH your Elohim to naught, for YHWH does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart.
“Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YHWH your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
“For in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore YHWH blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
“Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged upon the soil which YHWH your Elohim is giving you.
“You do not murder.
“You do not commit adultery.
“You do not steal.
“You do not bear false witness against your neighbor.
“You do not covet your neighbor’s house, you do not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor.”
